Once again Papelbon opens his big mouth and inserts his foot. The Sox need a strong lefthanded presence in the pen, but “foot in mouth” Papelbon doesn’t see it. He is slowly but surely wearing out his welcome in Boston. With the year he is having and the money he wants, he should just shut up and pitch.

I agree with Russ.. Not only is Pap wearing out his welcome..anyone who has been watching him pitch this year can clearly see the many hard hit balls he has given up. I hope the sox can use him in a trade soon while he is still worth a premium in the league ( I hope ). I can see him declining in his effectivness as time goes on. Straight fast balls at 94 mph doesnt get it done.

for decades the Red Sox and their fans have been joyfully raised on a steady diet of losing and playing second fiddle to the Yankees. after a little success in the past few years 5 years they now settle back into the dismal baked bean swamp of mediocrity. the earth is finally spinning back on it’s true axis again. the yanks are pulling away and the Sox can only eat their blue pinstriped dust. all hail the Evil Empire! (and by Evil Empire i naturally refer to the best, most winning sports franchise on the planet)

Hey Rob !!

Last time I checked.. your Yanks haven’t won a world series since 2000.. and not even made the playoffs last year.. !! sheeeese!!

Perhaps mr. papelbon will end up in NY like Damon has and end up with nothing haaaaaaa

LOOOOOOsers

exactly my point! it’s so hard to win a world series and the Sox finally broke through and got a few. congrats! that makes 2 in about 90 years. how many did the Yanks tally? i know you New Englanders hate to hear that sacred number….but it’s still a hard earned 26! without the Sox looming and coming close year after year there wouldn’t be such a historic rivalry. us Yankee fans really need you guys there to make it a fight. i figure a healthy 10 game cushion should allow us to sleep soundly at night. 7 or 8 games aren’t enough, after all, you beaners are tough.

LOL

Wow… Rob’s an idiot.

Rob = Michael Kay

LMAO !!

Its no secret what the yanks history is !! its fantastic obviously.
But we are in the present… no???

I am torn between the great rivary between the great teams ( like sox and NY ) and the have not’s and you know who they are… makes me wonder if that is good for the game.. I would hate to live in KC etc.

oops pardon my typo sorry

I think the media will really enjoy speaking to this bullpen because Wagner will give you a great quote here and there too. Maybe him and Papelbon will get along great…

I dont think Wagner will aprove the deal.. Papelbon probably ruined that given his stupid comments. Management hopfully takes care of it. Pap is an idiot and highly overrated and needs to shut up. If he pitched half as well as he thinks he can.. he would be a decent closer. Hey Pap.. can you throw anything else besides a straight fast ball?? The opponents have been teeing off on you for a while now dumb ass…

I don’t blame Paps one bit. This loser Wagner is a has-been; another one of Theo’s band-aids…when will these stupid reclamation projects end?
This has all the makings of a TIME BOMB. Paps is right on…Wagner’s the type of jerk that will blow up a bullpen at the most critical point of the season.
Then again, maybe “boy wonder” Epstein knows something everybody else will learn soon enough…Paps is destined for pinstripes and will be Mariano’s successor next season anyway!
Someone should find another gorilla suit for this “genius” to put on for his escape out of town; only this time…don’t let him back in!

the problem is pap saw schilling do it and now that he is retired. he think he can do it

another big yankee walk-off win. the only question now is whether we should wait until we’re up by 10 or 12 on the sox or until jeter passes gehrig’s record before we play kickball with ted williams’ frozen head! you lucky boston fans are back to being the happy losers that made you famous. championships and winning for decades made us famous.yeah yeah yeah, let’s hear it from all you angry beaners……i love it!!!!!

lmao @ Rob

You know you have no life when you randomly found a story from the archives at WEEI.com and attached some random comment about a Yankee game to it that no one was talking about…

“another big yankee walk-off win. the only question now is whether we should wait until we’re up by 10 or 12 on the sox ”

The Red Sox won the WORLD SERIES in 2004, one of many teams to win a WORLD SERIES, while not even winning the all-important division banner

Say hello to Arod’s World Series ring for me

“This loser Wagner is a has-been; another one of Theo’s band-aids…when will these stupid reclamation projects end?”

LOL !

Wagner has looked great so far, nice predictions again from you guys that post here!

And who cares if Papelbon goes away in free agency, Daniel Bard folks…

all your crying sounds like a typical boston bar scene! you’re all bickering over mere scraps while derek jeter is rewriting baseball history (without steroids). and who knows….arod may even get a hit in the post season! the evil empire is dominating the division and you have no answers at all. did you guys think you’d be winners every season after the fluke of ’04? it ain’t easy is it? take all the lousy mets castaways. almost time to start up that kickball game! start thawing out the head! ha ha ha

********************OBCESSION****************************

Rob…

What crying? You talk about stuff that isn’t happening boy

BTW—

AHAHAHAHAHA

first off, Derek Jeter isn’t re-writing MLB history, just a team’s hits record (that isn’t even the largest hit record among baseball franchises, kid).

Because just the Red Sox franchise history alone already includes an all-time hit leader with 700 more hits than what the Yankee record was. If you actually knew what google was, you could have looked these things up.

Second, no one takes a Yankee fan seriously when they talk about steroids. Because a big homerun man in MLB history is a Yankee and a ‘Roids man ….ALEXANDER RODRIGUEZ. Enough said, kid. Enough said.

time to thaw out that big ugly frozen head! the evil empire rules again!

well, the season is over, the parade is done, time to clean up the ticker tape and my evil empire has proven to be the bestfor the 27th time. any snide comments you sad bunch of baked bean eating losers? nice finish to your dismal season. yuk yuk…or is it Yawkey Yawkey!

Hello! I’m at work browsing your blog from my new iphone 4! Just wanted to say I love reading through your blog and look forward to all your posts! Keep up the great work!

Additionally the story isn’t some wish or unrealistic assertion, moderately a fact.
