I liked Jonathan Papelbon a whole lot better when he was just a dominant closer. Lately he's starting to remind me of that other ninth inning NECK that we all laughed at back in the day (John Rocker).
After a bench clearing incident initiated by his center fielder (Coco Cripy's), Papelbon had this to say...
“In my opinion it is a bunch of bull what they did," said Papelbon on the Rays piling on during the fight. "All I got to say is what comes around goes around. Payback is a bitch. In my opinion, and the way I feel right now, this thing isn’t all settled and done. We still got to play them a few more times and I know when we go into Tropicana things will be a little different than when went in there last time.”
...I guess so John...if different here means your team got swept again! Shut up and pitch! Whoops, that's kinda hard to do when your team never had the lead!
Then the New York Daily news quotes Papelbon as saying he thinks he should close the All Star game. John, you do realize that...
A) The All Star game is in Yankee Stadium this year.
B) Mariano Rivera made the American league roster.
C) Yankee stadium is being torn down at the end of the year.
Put that "Deliverance University" education to work before you open your stupid yap son!
Then he proceeds to blast the NY media for creating a firestorm that resulted in his pregnant wife feeling "threatened" during a pre-All Star game parade that went through the heart of Manhattan.
"I feel like I needed to be in a bullet-proof car," Papelbon said. "My wife is pregnant and she's getting her life threatened. It's stupid."
Fans were heard hurling insults like "Papel-bums" at the couple as they rolled down 6th avenue.
"Papel-bums"...life threatening...needing a bullet-proof car? I can definitely see the correlation!
John, here's a couple things for you to consider:
You're a Boston Red Sox player in New York City...you're not exactly a welcome guest!
Please grow some NADS! Papel-bums? Are you serious? The guys in my Fantasy Football league have called me worse and I consider them my friends!!!
If you're concerned about your pregnant wife...leave her at home...after all...she is PREGNANT!
PAP SMEAR...if you want an example of "Life Threatening", why don't you go talk to those folks that got ripped from their cars and beaten with baseball bats in a Boston neighborhood because they had N.Y. plates.
Slightly worse than "Papel-bums"?
Maybe.
