Here's a press release from the good people at Comcast SportsNet, who have the ultra-excitable Jonathan Papelbon do a
weekly segment on the Mohegan Sun Sports Tonight show. Apparently Pap is still fired up about the basebrawl that unfolded with the second place Tampa Bay Rays last week, and the Sox closer admits that it's not over with the upstart Rays. Should make for an interesting three game set at the Trop at the end of June. The closer vowes revenge, of course, in typical Papelbon fashion with a helping of Red Bull-filled bravado and a splash of Dropkick-Murphy fueled aggression. The highlight of Pap's warning: "Payback is a bitch." I wouldn't want to dig in against him if I were Johnny Gomes or Carl Crawford.
Good times.
Not even the free Dunkin Donuts iced coffees after a Sox win seem to be calming him down...
Here's the relase on Pap.
PAPELBON TELLS COMCAST SPORTSNET TAMPA-SOX FEUD NOT DONE
BURLINGTON, MA – Red Sox closer Jonathan Papelbon appeared for his weekly chat on Mohegan Sun Sports Tonight to discuss the tumultuous week that was for the Boston Red Sox. Papelbon weighed in on a number of topics including the Sox-Rays on-field fracas.
On the Sox-Rays fight…
“In my opinion it is a bunch of bull what they did. 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.”
On the Rays staying in the race…
“Those guys have a lot of talent over there. As you can see, it’s a war when we go play those guys. It’s the big leagues and you got guys that can pitch over there and you got some guy that can hit so we’ve got to do everything we can to stay atop of those guys and keep fending them off because they can play.”
