Papelbon getting paid

1 year contract for $9.35 million to avoid arbitration. Byrne, call his *** today and get the Dude an overhaul. I think Paps can afford it now

And I believe that was the most evar for a pitcher's first arbitration after their rookie contract.

when he came out public about him not getting paid what he should have....guess I just forgot he got a nice paycheck this past year.</p>

he is one of- and maybe the only- guy that can come in the 8th inning and get six outs to close a game. He's awesome. I'm so glad that he's not a starter, because I think if he keeps going, he could be a HOF closer one day if he stays healthy.

And as far as donating to MSU- I won't fault him if he doesn't donate any money to us because his perfomance as the guest speaker for the First Pitch Banquet before Polk's last year was a lasting donation to me. It was awesome!

A room full of sheep- and Paps is up there talking about drinking in college and questioning Polk's sexual orientation. It was like the sixpack took over.
