CubKilla Posted September 14, 2003 Share Posted September 14, 2003 I think that officially ends the MLB career of Butter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CubKilla Posted September 14, 2003 Share Posted September 14, 2003 I thought he was already gone.... So where's his next PB&J sandwich coming from, then??? I'm sure this release isn't his fault either. TB and Pinella probably never used Butter the way they should have. Yet another set-up for Butter to fail.

CubsSuck1 Posted September 14, 2003 Share Posted September 14, 2003 Me and my friend pitched a perfesct game with Jim Parque in All star baseball. ah, what could have been.......... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
winninguglyin83 Posted September 14, 2003 Share Posted September 14, 2003 somebody will give Par-Kay another chance he didn't pitch that poorly this year. His velocity wasn't much -- topping out at 85-86, still -- but he never was a hard thrower. In fact, he started two games for Durham in the International League playoffs. My sources say he wasn't released because of the way he pitched as much for the way he tried to 'big-league' too many people. Maybe getting released by a dreadful team like Tampa will knock him down a few pegs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoxFan1 Posted September 14, 2003 Share Posted September 14, 2003 Other big-leaguers released by Tampa Bay: Greg Vaugh John Rocker now, Jim Parque Where are they now? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Al Lopez Ghost (old) Posted September 15, 2003 Share Posted September 15, 2003 Parque was always too cocky for his own good. If his career is over, I will always remember that he started the biggest baseball fight I've ever seen, back in 2000. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

southsider2k5 Posted September 15, 2003 Share Posted September 15, 2003 Anyone who thinks they should be called up with an era of 9 at AAA, is going to get ripped. Espesially a guy who gives up 3 HR's to Mike Cameron! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Espesially a guy who gives up 3 HR's to Mike Cameron! Maybe you should clarify that for young-in's in here who forgot about that game last year. Butter gave up 3 homers to Mike Cameron IN ONE GAME.

SoxFanForever Posted September 16, 2003 Share Posted September 16, 2003 I think my favorite title for a thread on these boards was something like "Parque blown out...Butter Melts again". Man that guy is an arrogant clown. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
