| Classy Yankee fans too.... booing Jonathan Papelbon, because the NY Post decided to only quote HALF of his 50 minute interview - the half where he said that normally the guy who closed the World Series would also close the next year's All Star Game. They conveniently left out the rest of the interview where he said he had a ton of respect for Mariano Rivera, and that Rivera would be closing this game and that he had no problem with that.
Good old classy Yankee fans, boo'd and threw things at Papelbon's truck in the parade, made his pregnant wife feel really unsafe. Then they chanted "over-rated" while he's trying to hold on to the win for the AL. But the best part - NY's self-centered INSISTANCE that Rivera close the game meant that Francona felt obligated to use Rivera in the 9th inning, thus wasting a pitcher who would have been a lot more valuable in the 12th or 13th inning.
Yeah, Yankee fans. That's just a class act all the way around. |
