Um, yeah… in case you haven’t paid attention all season- Papelbon is NUTS. Freaking out of his mind. A buddy and I discussed this and came up with this justification. Dude is 25, around my age. I drink pretty heavilly upon celebration. Now imagine being the stud closer on one of the top teams in major league baseball. You would likely be a freaking nutball too.
BTW- he has been electrifying this ALCS… oh wait, thats right- the Sox couldn’t possibly get to use him when they are getting racked in the first 5 innings. In the irony of ironies, I bet either game 5 or 6 comes down to a 1 run game and Paps gives up the tying or winning run. its been that kind of series for the Sox. This Indians team is GOOD.
Nice find. Somehow I think Papelbon is the only one who planned that part of the pose. And as we know, it’s all fun and games until somebody gets grabbed in the junk.

Unfortunately, this kind of prank happens all too often in baseball.
And brings back some bad memories for me as a gangly left fielder at Parkdale High.

SVP - Parkdale in Maryland?

What makes this picture even better is its location. It was taken at the All Star Game this year in San Francisco. ‘Nuff said.

I told you the Red Sox were a bunch of homos.
