Red Sox fans... you excited? From ESPN.com: http://msn.espn.go.com/mlb/news/2001/0921/1253662.html <I>If Everett remains for the rest of the season, there is another concern, the Globe reported. When he left the team last week, rather than fly from Baltimore to Providence on the team's 28-hour trek by bus, train, and plane from St. Petersburg, Fla., <B>he vowed never again to board an aircraft</B>, according to teammates. Everett cited the terrorist attacks last week as his reason.</I> This should be interesting....
Carl Everett also doesn't believe that dinosaurs ever existed because there is no mention of them in the Bible and no one has ever seen one. He claims that all the dinosaur bones found are man-made fakes.
To top it off, he sucks this year. Those that want him in Houston, who would he replace? Hidalgo is having a down year, and he's STILL outhitting Carl. Keep Alou !!! I didnt' think Jurassic Carl believed in airplanes anyway.
No offense, but all you guys are nuts. C4 has the attitude this team often needs. When he comes back next season he will regain his MVP- type of form and blow up again, I can't wait. gr8-1, you know what I 've said. Him in center wher he plays a better center than Dalgy and Dalgy and Berkman on the corners. Alou is gone man. I appreciated him while he was here, but he is on the down expecting a big contract. Makes no sense.
<B>No offense, but all you guys are nuts. C4 has the attitude this team often needs. When he comes back next season he will regain his MVP- type of form and blow up again, I can't wait. </B> Assuming he's willing to fly. Or he may just play home games. And assuming the team has him back: <I>The team is looking to keep the controversial outfielder out of a Red Sox uniform for the rest of the season, and possibley forever, the Boston Globe reported Friday.</I>
I thought Carl was exonerated of the child abuse charges? He also thinks the moon landing is a fake. I would be willing to bet he thinks that it was ACTUALLY the devil in the smoke from the WTC attack. Basically, Carl is an Art Bell fan.
I bet he's a member of the Flat Earth Society as well http://www.lhup.edu/~dsimanek/fe-scidi.htm http://www.flat-earth.org/
Although sometimes it is difficult to say so, I still think Carl is a great player and would love for him to stay in Beantown.
He was exonerated of beating his kids. Its one of those charges that even if it is false, just being accused of it is enought to have it follow you around, regardless of your guilt/innocence.
alous on the down roxran??? the man is hitting 325-330 and carried us the 1st half of the yr with lance offensively and has made awesome game saving catches in the of i definitely do not think hes on the down and its time drayton makes this team big market like it should be
It depends on your definition of "down" He is hitting ~ .190 in September and ~ .295 since the all star break. He certainly helped carry the Astros offensively during the first half of the season (batting .362), but the Astros need him to step it up these last few weeks.
if houston doesnt keep alou then i hope it doesnt come back to haunt us...the guy is everything we need... i know most people want to see ward crack to stating lineup more but i dont want it to be in the outfield...what about him splitting time with castilla at third??? and everett sucks...i dont want him on the team and i dont see how his angry attitude would help this team...
Red, Ward looked awful playing 1st base. I know it was for one inning, but there is no way he can play 3rd. Bagwell himself said he would have a hard time playing 3rd base.
Unless Castilla is willing to accept a significant pay cut (and is able to under baseball's CBA), he won't be back. Ward is enough of a defensive liability in the OF, he couldn't even begin to play third base. Alou hits well, but he is ceetainly not everything the Astros need. He is a competitor, but even though he has taken back a few HRs this year, he is an average defensive outfielder (he IS better than Ward). If you could guarantee that Alou would remain healthy for the next 2-3 seasons, then open up the checkbook to sign him, otherwise, the Astros will have to go a different direction.
At least they don't lose too much with Ward. Incidentally, I think Ward's already a better hitter than Everett. He's hitting decently, despite irregular time.
Its good to know, that despite everything going on in this world, there is one thing you can count on to never change - Carl Everett's insanity.
YESSSSSSSS!!! Good riddance and don't ever come back, you damn psycho. If Carl Everett is gone and this does happen then I'm going to do 2 things: 1) Sing Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah! 2) Make shanna my all-time favorite poster!
