Tabe Posted September 27, 2015 Share Posted September 27, 2015 HA! Papelbon just went after Bryce Harper in the Nats locker room Remember folks, Harper is the immature one with the attitude problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cubbymark Posted September 27, 2015 Share Posted September 27, 2015 HA! Papelbon just went after Bryce Harper in the Nats locker room Days after he was critical of Papelbon beaning Machado. What a trade. That's a clown question, bro! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RIPPA Posted September 27, 2015 Share Posted September 27, 2015 Even better was listening to Matt Williams being incredulous when asked why he would put Pap back in the game after he attacked Harper "He's our closer. It's a tie game. Why wouldn't I put him back in?" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Man Known as Dan Posted September 27, 2015 Share Posted September 27, 2015 Matt Williams might literally be the worst manager ever. I almost promise he's the worst manager to win manager of the year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tabe Posted September 27, 2015 Share Posted September 27, 2015 Because he might be upset, get shelled, and then intentionally bean a guy? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nice Guy Eddie Posted September 27, 2015 Share Posted September 27, 2015 HA! Papelbon just went after Bryce Harper in the Nats locker room Days after he was critical of Papelbon beaning Machado. What a trade. The two month rental closer with a piss poor attitude going after their franchise player has to guarantee Rizzo and Williams are gone after the season. Drew Storen wouldn't have tried to choke Bryce Harper. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
odessasteps Posted September 27, 2015 Share Posted September 27, 2015 @AlGaldi: Watching #Nats-#Phils replay. Jonathan Papelbon at #Nats Park as he was removed in the 9th inning was Roddy Piper in MSG in '85. #HeelHeat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

grilledcheese Posted September 28, 2015 Share Posted September 28, 2015 I totally agree that Papelbon is bad news for any team, but what he did today to "instigate" this fight didn't seem to be all that awful. He told Harper that he should go hard down the line. I don't disagree with that at all. Especially considering I have seen Harper jake it on tons of ground balls and easy pop flies. I don't think it is worthy of a jump off the elevated bench and a chokehold/wall slam, but Harper also did tell him "Let's go!" Both guys were wrong for their individual actions, but painting Papelbon as the sole villain in this I think is kind of incorrect. And yeah, Arrieta is a bad motherfucker. I'm hoping he has a long career chock full of the dominance he has shown off this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sabremike Posted September 28, 2015 Share Posted September 28, 2015 Arrieta is god. They can play the Wild Card game on the moon and it won't make a difference if Arrieta is on the mound. Pirates better win the division or they are fucked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But since one will be off the team very shortly, and one is the franchise, the angle with naturally make Papelbon the villan. . . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

grilledcheese Posted September 28, 2015 Share Posted September 28, 2015 The "jinx" deal is dumb, but I like to abide by it. If anyone jinxed it, blame the MLB app. They now put up a little red banner on the scoreboard page indicating "No Hitter" or "Perfect Game". Also, with the rookie dress up deal, Brett Anderson tweeted that it tends to lose some of its luster when you just got swept by the worst team in the division. I agree completely, but you have to give the rooks some shit, right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Man Known as Dan Posted September 28, 2015 Share Posted September 28, 2015 One time the Blues were up 3-0 in a game midway through the 3rd period, and I mentioned to a friend that I hope we can get Chris Mason (Our Goalie at the time) a shutout. 4 goals in 5 shots later, I swore to never ever jinx again, legitimate or not. Also, this. Jake Arrieta in his last 19 starts: .89 ERA, 141 IP Jake Arrieta since the ASB: .80 ERA, 101.1 IP Jake Arrieta since August 1st" .44 ERA, 82.1 IP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
