So Papelbon is cocky, so what? His team is the defending WS champ. He’s a pretty good pitcher. <a href=”Usually. He’s like 11 years old, I’d expect him to be cocky.
What’s he supposed to say, “Frankly we look good on paper, but I’m telling you guys, this season is gonna be horseshit. My fastball sucks since I got off the Winstrol, Papi ate himself into a coma twice last week, nobody has heard from Manny in months, and he actually hired Benecio del Toro to wear his uniform and show up at camp, but it only fooled us for like 2 days. And Beckett is totally gay.”
Or even worse, he could give a standard issue Jeter Style answer like,
“Well, it’s gonna be a tough division and we’re gonna have to play our game, and hope we’re blessed, and take it one game at a time and…..”
I don’t like the Sox, but ripping a 10 year old relief pitcher because he thinks his team is gonna kick your teams ass is silly.
