All that is necessary for the triumph of evil is for Papelbon to take the mound
By adamg - 5/17/10 - 10:02 pmMaybe L-girl is right about this year's Red Sox:
... If the Red Sox manage to seriously contend this season, if we make a run at the division or the wild card and make the playoffs, it will be an amazing comeback. But so many things would have to happen for that to occur – the Sox playing much better than they appear to be able to do, and more than one other team hitting a prolonged slide. It's looking highly unlikely. ...
About last night: What can you say?
By adamg - 5/24/09 - 9:23 amTeddy Kokoros sums up last night's Sox game:
... Some random back up catcher from the Mets takes your all-star closer deep to win the game. You can't dwell on it too much and there is nothing to analyze. All you can hope is that you don't miss the playoffs by one game and then look back on the season and think what if that Santos guy did not happen to run into a Papelbon fastball? ...
... One pitch changed everything, although a timely hit -- Ortiz, Bay, Drew and Lowell were a combined 0-for-15 -- might have given us a little more padding. Either way, it was a taut, exciting game on a gorgeous night at Fenway. Who am I to ask for anything more?

By adamg - 4/22/08 - 9:17 amJenn Martinelli cringes whenever that Papelbon butt-slap ad comes on:
... I can't even follow the point of the commercial because I'm so distressed by the dumber than dirt look on Papelbon's face. He just looks so stupid. Like he's trying to figure out something really hard, not act in a Dunkin Donuts commercial.

Stunt butt!
Call it the Curse of the T-shirt

The New York Post reports:
A devilish Boston fan working on a concrete crew at the $1.3 billion stadium covertly buried a Red Sox T-shirt under what will become the visiting team's locker room to jinx the Yanks, two construction workers told The Post yesterday. ...
Red, meanwhile, ponders the way Dunkin' Donuts used a stunt derriere in place of Jonathan Papelbon's butt in its newest commercial:
... Honestly, the fact that there's someone out there who got a call from an agent who said, "We need you to be Jonathan Papelbon's ass," is one of the greatest things I've heard in my life. ...
