Papelbon in NYC
ESPN has a disturbing story on the All-Star Game Parade, and how Papelbon was received by New York fans. The piece was written by his driver, an editor for ESPN. A snippet: Seeing the success they had with Morneau, fans started throwing items at Papelbon to sign … all the while hurling...
Random All-Star Sox thoughts
via d.yimg.com Congrats to JD Drew for winning the All-Star MVP award. I was worried he wouldn't win it because of the 'B' on his hat, but he definitely deserved it. He deserves the spotlight and it couldn't have happened to a better guy. And to think, he was voted in by players -- makes it...
