Jonathan Papelbon

Papelbon should stick to baseball

Jenn 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.

Call it the Curse of the T-shirt

Anybody named Wesley: Please stop reading now; wouldn't want you to poke your eyes out:

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:

Slutter, slutter, slutter

Beth says Red Sox Nation can't get enough of Jonathan Papelbon's new slider/cutter pitch:

... Everyone I know is saying "slutter" at every possible opportunity. Andrew himself said he ran into a friend last night on the road--both were in their cars and met at an intersection, and were having a joking argument through their windows when, as Andrew put it, "the pitch came up." ...

Welcoming Eric Gagne

Beth pays attention to the bullpen:

... I noticed that Jonathan was the bullpen representative who stepped out from the bench to welcome Gagne to Munchkinland with a fist-bump after his first walk out to the bullpen, which I would guess puts Jonathan in the position of alpha dog. Being the official fist-bump welcomer has got to be a pretty prestigious position in the pecking order, especially since given the ovation, the entire park and TV audience was watching them.
