Hot damn, Papelbon is unstoppable

[Andy]

Nothing else needs to be said.

 

Geez.

[rocket]

you'll feel stupid if he blows a save

yes, yes he is unstoppable.

 

he made wilkerson look really stupid

[E.J.]

He's making the Rangers look like high school hitters. They're swinging at crap in their eyes and watching balls go right down the middle of the plate. He's filthy.

[abuck1220]

too bad he's pitching 2-3 innings every five days instead of seven.

[rynefan]

Oh man, he'd look good in Cubbie navy, royal, gray, pinstripes or whatever.... I couldn't believe how he had Young running scared. That was some of the best pitching, against some darned good hitters... just awesome.

[Anomalied]

I'm lucky I got him in the later rounds of my fantasy draft.

[Post Count Padder]

Actually, we have Papelbon in the minors.

I'm sure he'd make a very good starter. But he could potentially become one of the best closers in HISTORY. I don't see him having the same ceiling as a starter.

The Prince of Pap will make his presence known soon...

Quick, which is Pap's career major league numbers and which is his career minor league numbers?

 

6.42 H/9, 0.62 HR/9, 2.64 BB/9, 9.59 K/9, 1.01 WHIP

 

7.15 H/9, 0.62 HR/9, 2.53 BB/9, 9.71 K/9, 1.08 WHIP

[rynefan]

He's got a great future. If the Red Sox let him go they're morons. Unless it's to the Cubs. Hope he won't blow out his arm. I like watching him pitch.

[OleMissCub]

I faced him a few times in college. He played at MS State and I played at Ole Miss, so we saw each other a few times a year. He was good back then, but not great. He must have learned alot in the minors cuz he's BAD TO THE BONE now.

All brothers.

[VanceJergins]

This is the caption under the picture of Papelbon on the RedSox homepage:

 

"Jonathan Papelbon three of the five straight batters he retired."

 

What are they trying to say? Straight people aren't good at making contact? I'm so sick of the heterophobia in MLB.

Yes, but here they all are, in case anyone needs help sorting out Papelbons this year!

I know some people can't stand it, but this is one of my all-time favorite Dugouts.

Ha, not one of the better ones, but still good, and fitting.
