The Jonathan Papelbon “Stay Classy” Tour Continues
Baseball May 26th. 2009, 2:00pm
In case you missed it while attending that memorable dog barbecue over the weekend, Jonathan Papelbon didn’t exactly take his blown save in stride Saturday night after serving up a game-winning two-run homer to widely unknown Mets catcher, Omir Santos.
According to a photographer for the New York Post, who had snapped a few shots of the worldly closer brooding in the dugout, Papeblon screamed “Don’t take my fucking picture,” before throwing a towel at him.
Now Papelbon wouldn’t be the first athlete to have a childish run-in with a camera man or photographer (we all remember Rodman’s classy crotch kick) but since he insists on dancing and fist pumping after each and every one of his saves like a member of Cobra Kai who just lost his virginity, it’s only fair that he learns to embrace crapping the bed like a true professional.
Worth noting, the towel missed.

Your Cobra Kai comparison doesn’t work. They were all eunuchs.

Is this supposed to combat duffy’s posts?

Papelfag is a pox upon humanity.

My buddies from Boston even admit that this guy is a douche. And these guys defended Schilling, Youkilis, etc.

I have a suspicion that Hernia’s converted to Red Sox Nation just for the jokes.

If this is fair and balanced, what is it when TBL’s here?

Dude is a Sports Illustrated tirade about New Yorkers away from becoming John Rocker.
May 26th, 2009 at 2:23 pm
I thought Kenny Powers replaced John Rocker.

Papelbon gave up a bomb to Joe Mauer yesterday.
I like Youk, but Papelbon is an absolute dbag.
May 26th, 2009 at 2:25 pm
That was pure emotion and not being a fagot.

Like Papi’s last 200 swings?

tampa lives by this motto:
“if the kick did not hit, you must acquit”

ANUS FAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAACE.
Honestly, how can you root for him but not for Joba when they do the exact same thing after big outs?
Oh, wait, one plays for the Yankees. Understood.
May 26th, 2009 at 2:34 pm
someone in boston acted like a douche? shocking
May 26th, 2009 at 2:35 pm
Pap is just more annoying with his shit. Its not emotion, ist a fucking fagot show. I cant wait for that guy to go out like Isringhausen.
May 26th, 2009 at 2:37 pm
Honest question:
Who ends up with more post-season saves…Rivera or Captain Douchebag?
May 26th, 2009 at 2:37 pm
Wow, an anti-sox post. Fair and balanced, very nice.
May 26th, 2009 at 2:38 pm
I don’t see Joba throwing towels at photographers. He takes his lumps.
May 26th, 2009 at 2:39 pm
Papelbon went to mississippi state for college. that should explain most of his douchery.
May 26th, 2009 at 2:40 pm
I wouldn’t say it’s anti-Sox. Most normal Sox fans would probably agree that Papelbon should take off the frat letters and learn how to handle massive failure.
May 26th, 2009 at 2:41 pm
papelbon was just mad that big papi’s juice shipments still havent come in

Seriously, they’re the same kind of guy, except that one’s actually a closer. Fist pumps and extreme displays of emotion kind of come with being a closer. Except for Mariano Rivera, that freak.

As a Met fan I am getting the same feeling watching K-Rod, I am happy he is closing games but really, shutting down the Nats does not warrant that kind of emotion. Just smile and high five the catcher and get in line to greet the rest of the team.
May 26th, 2009 at 3:21 pm
To Joba and K-Rod’s credit, they don’t cry when they lose.
