Jonathan Papelbon may not yet realize it (he seems as though he'd be oblivious to everything that doesn't have a direct and forceful impact on his very own self) but Justin Masterson is quietly taking over his role of go-to quote guy. Papelbon has a pretty good working relationship with Tweedle-Dee and Tweedle-Dum of Comcast Sports but lately Masterson has even begun encroaching on that territory with the blog that they are hosting for him.
Two things that I love about Happy's post from last night: First, he randomly includes a line about going to the aquarium yesterday and the multitude of penguins therein:
"I went to the Aquarium today. The line was really long but there was a nice lady, Denise, who helped and got us in there a little bit quicker. I guess it’s hard not to notice the big bald guy standing around. It’s a neat little place, especially if you like penguins, because it has tons, not real big, but there are a bunch of them."
You'd think a nice, young, Christian fellow like himself would be against line jumping just because he's famous but whatevs. I'm also not entirely certain if he's talking about small-ish penguins or a small-ish aquarium but it doesn't really matter because he's so damn adorable.
And secondly, he writes:
"We have the Yankees coming in, but not only that we have some warm weather heading our way too. I hope that you enjoy it, because I know that I will."
The impending warmth is more important to Justin Masterson than the arrival of the New York Yankees. I wish to preserve him under glass so that he will never change.
