two things

something i wish i'd seen:
In the top of the seventh inning of a tied game, with runners on first and second, nobody out, and the count full, Chipper Jones hit a line drive at Tulowitzki, who snared the ball in flight, stepped on second to double up Kelly Johnson, and tagged Edgar Renteria between first and second for an unassisted triple play. Just to be safe, Tulowitzki fired the ball to Todd Helton at first, but three outs was sufficient on the play. (MLB.com)
an unassisted triple play that could have been *four* outs if such a thing existed?? i swear, they better show highlights of this on ESPN as much as they did A-Rod's fantastic April, and the four consecutive home runs the Red Sox hit last weekend.

something i never thought i would see:
Tavarez understands better than anyone that he is going back to the bullpen when Jon Lester [stats] completes his rehab assignment sometime in early May. His work as a starter will be done. While the current results - 1-2, 7.58 ERA - may not glisten like the numbers from the other four starters, Tavarez is as happy and proud of his role as the Red Sox are. "I won’t be surprised if I don’t make my next start or it’s the one after that," said Tavarez, who allowed three runs and three hits in his five-plus innings in the Red Sox’ 7-4 series-concluding victory. "It just makes me really happy that Jon is getting healthy and ready to help our team." (Boston Herald)
i never *ever* thought i would see Julian Tavarez as a team player. how he went from crazy Ugly EZ last season to Julian in 2007... Julian, who wants nothing more than to start, who has been so happy in his place on the rotation, but who also will go back to the bullpen & pitch for his team there, if that's what they ask of him. i don't even know what to say. but this Julian? i like him. and i am so happy he's a part of our team in Boston.
