Papelbon's pregnant wife reportedly felt threatened

Red Sox closer Jonathan Papelbon blamed the New York media for creating a firestorm that resulted in his pregnant wife being threatened on Tuesday.

MLB.com reported that during a red carpet parade for the All-Star Game that went down Sixth Avenue in Manhattan, Papelbon and his wife Ashley were bombarded by insults from fans.

"I feel like I needed to be in a bullet-proof car," Papelbon said, according to the Web site. "My wife is pregnant and she's getting her life threatened. It's stupid."

Papelbon had said that he would welcome closing out the All-Star Game at Yankee Stadium even though its the home field of Mariano Rivera.

"I've said from the very beginning, since two days ago, and talked to Tito [Red Sox manager Terry Francona] about it, I said, 'I want Mariano to close.' I understand what it's about to pay your dues in this game and what it's about to put in your time," Papelbon said, according to the Web site. "If you were to ask me, of course I wanted to close. That's my competitive nature."

lol, I texted my friend a half hour ago saying "JD is going to hit a HR"


Dioner Navarro just blew the game for the AL.
 
Tonight will be a historic night. It will be the first NL win in 12 years and it happened in the last season for Yankee Stadium and it was a Red Sox player that blew it. :p

oooo, Mr. blow saves is warming up.

He's been good as of late (assuming you mean Wagner). Time to turn this on.

EDIT: crap, no video. Good thing baseball is great on radio.
 
Time for Rivera to shine.

Papelbon has been redeemed a bit. But, it should be 3-2 AL on top. :mad:

And how about all the stolen bases the AL had tonight?

POS Francona! Didn't put in Rivera.

He had a great start to the season, but considering when the bulk of the voting took place and how bad he was doing at that point... I have no idea.
