There are three things you can count on.. Death, taxes, and Julian Tavarez screwing something up. I’m a St. Louis Cardinals fan so I got all of the Tavarez I could handle back in ’04 when he broke his hand punching the dugout wall during the playoffs. Now, by way of the Red Sox Monster comes another great Julian Tavarez story.

JT was interviewed by The Capital Times and revealed some interesting info regarding his unearned World Series ring.

It seems the newest member of the Milwaukee Brewers left the $20,000 prize in his locker when the Red Sox designated him for assignment, then released him earlier this month.

“They’re going to mail it to me, I’m sure.”

Tavarez was awarded the ring because he pitched in the regular season for the Red Sox last year, but he didn’t make an appearance in the playoffs. That could be why he doesn’t seem to have any attachment to a $20,000 World Series ring. He’s confident that the team is gonna mail it to him but if Manny Ramirez gets his hands on it, you know that ring will be on Ebay.

Curt Schilling of the Boston Red Sox has picked up a new toy which he can use to write 38 Pitches or play World of Warcraft. This HP laptop was designed by graffiti artist de la Vega, one of 9 artist picked by PC magazine to pimp out some computers for charity. Schilling is the first person to take one off the market, and I’m hoping A) he got this for his kids or B) it’s for him and  he breaks this bad boy out in the Sox clubhouse and the boys let him have it.. On camera of course.

There’s no word on how much Schilling bid for his HP, but the other eight are still available and range in price from $300 to $1200. The money is going to the National Cristina Foundation which in turn provides computer equipment to needy schools and non-profit organizations. I respect Curt buying the computer for a good cause, but did he have to choose that one?

I like the album look laptop designed by Rebecca Minkoff:

Damn I feel for Gary Coleman.. Things have gotten so bad that he’s being forced to sell his signed clothing just to round up money for chapstick and lotion. If you ever wanted some size xl 12 regular athletic pants from Gap Kids that happened to be signed by Gary Coleman then EBay is the place for you.

I’m not trying to make light of Gary’s situation.. I’m really not. We all go through tough times, but eventually they pass. I’m hoping Gary raises as much money as possible and then keeps it hidden from his parents and the Gooch.
