Papelbon on the Rays: Sox are Still Ready to Rumble

To invoke one of the few people associated with New York Yankees whom we actually like besides Joe Torre, Yogi Berra once said it ain’t over till it’s over.
Boston Red Sox closer Jonathan Papelbon agrees, at least when it comes to the Tampa Bay Rays.
For those of you MLB fans who’ve been living in a cave on a island off the coast of Chile (and you know who you are), this all goes back to the Coco Crisp touchy-feely slide, the Sox-Rays brawl, and who knows, maybe even his post-brawl remarks.

ESPN reports Papelbon’s take:
“In my opinion, it is a bunch of bull what they did,” Papelbon said on “Mohegan Sun Sports Tonight” on Comcast Sportsnet, referring to last week’s brawl between the two teams. “All I got to say is what comes around goes around, man. Payback’s a b—-, I’ll tell you what.”
Stay tuned for the rest of the season between these two teams, ’cause it won’t be pretty.

Hey, speaking of baseball . . . check out our guest post on The Sports Diva Magazine, where we’ll be doing occasional posts with Cherie Lampley (also of b5’s Dejuiced!) and several other sports bloggerettes. The subject of our first guest post? Why, a little commentary about the New York Yankees still needing $400M in public financing for the new stadium.
Worry not, as we’ll be sure to engage in shameless self-promotion any time we do a TSD gig or another round of audio clips on the Speeding Bullet Network in The Ticket section (over there we are, ahem, the Gossip Goddess).
