An excerpt from an ESPN.com article (I'm not even going to comment, you can sense my rage I'm sure):
Here's one number that Suppan's agents, Leventhal and Damon Lapa, will be sure to sell: His 2.39 ERA after the All-Star break was the third lowest by a National League starter after Roger Clemens and Anibal Sanchez.
(Anibal Sanchez is a pitcher the Sox traded away...in case you didn't know)
Another:
Translation: He's a ground ball guy who pitches to contact, so he better have a solid infield defense behind him. And he might want to exhaust his other options before pursuing a job in, say, the American League East.
Yeah. He's tried that already. Let's just say, he sucked.
I love this one:
An American League executive expects Suppan to get three years and $21 million, "minimum." But if Matt Morris could fetch $27 million over three years last winter without Suppan's postseason portfolio, that estimate appears conservative. Don't forget that in 2004, Suppan beat Clemens in Game 7 to pitch the Cardinals into the World Series.
He also looked like a squirrel on the interstate in a game against the Sox in the World Series in '04. I thought National League pitchers had mad baserunning skillz?
This about Jeff Weaver in the same article:
"We first saw him and he was topping out at 88-89 and everybody was like, 'Is he hurt?' " said a National League coach. "All of a sudden, boy, he got stronger. He got the innings under him and started letting it go a little bit."
NO. It's more like, he is already a millionaire, but he got caught up in the excitement of the playoffs and decided to pour his booze down the drain, throw his weed in the fireplace and give his crystal meth to Goodwill.
I am going to SEO a little bit here in the off hand chance Mr. Jeff Weaver reads blogs or Googles himself.

Oh yeah and shave once in a while too, you look like me. An overgrown man-boy who wishes he could grow a beard and look tough. You suck, Jeff Weaver.

If you remember, Suppan was actually on the Red Sox TWICE - neither time with very good results. Remember who we traded to get him? Freddy Sanchez, who was probably the best 2B in the NL last year.
When I worked at that pizza place in Ohio, there was a guy named Tim there who was perpetually stoned and maybe the dumbest guy I have ever met. I always think of him whenever I see Jeff Weaver pitch.
yeah. i remember that. freddy sanchez and ramirez were supposed to the anchors of our infield for years to come. now they are both gone. and GOOD.
