'EEI is shocked, shocked! that Jonathan Papelbon is a moron. I don't recall but maybe they were the ones loudly beating the the-dumb-hick-thing-must-be-an-act-because-nobody-can-be-that-stupid drum. But to the rest of us, this is not news.
From the moment that someone gave Bot a platform, he made it perfectly clear that the only thing that he cares about is money. Recall that he was willing to go play for the Pirates if they were the ones willing to pay him. Theo Epstein, who is usually very guarded with his speech, publicly called him out for being dumb. Then there's that ridiculous investment and, undoubtedly footing the bill for his wife's baby-as-accessory line of clothing. [Aside: I wonder at what age such a child develops the courage to tell of its mother with a "What is wrong with you? I'm a person, not a purse!" Although, I suspect that it'll never be an issue for her as neither of her children will ever develop the verbal acuity to drop such a bon mot on her.]
All that said, I'm glad that he's someone else's moron. And Eck's smack down of him last night was a thing of beauty.
