Sometimes a rain delay can be a good thing… a very good thing.
When it gives your closer and relief pitcher an opportunity to showcase their video lip synching to Milli Vanilli’s “Blame It On The Rain”, it’s a very good thing indeed. Glorious, even.
I give you… Jonathan Papelbon and Manny Delcarmen.

This is the entire “musical video” performance (and I use that term loosely), not just the portion shown during the game. Best parts? Papelbon getting a bucket of water thrown on him… and watching the reaction of the guys in the dugout while the video was shown.
One word, and one word only is needed to describe this video: stellar
i couldn’t have worded that any better myself.
who knew, they can pitch and make grammy winning music. such talent! I was impressed. hehe
speechless.
I knew, KNEW, I could count on you posting this! Thank you!
Almost as funny as the video itself are the bemused expressions on the faces of everyone in the dugout (particularly Beckett). And of course, the commentary by Remy and Orsillo.
“Ladies and gentlemen…your closer.” xD
I have seen that video twice now, and still love it. Hilarious. In the game thread earlier, we were trying to figure out who the girls were. I think it’s their wives. Their is a part near the end that shows them close up, looks like them. I would only do that for a lot of money.
That was…amazing.
That was absolutely hilarious!
That video almost makes up for the loss last night. I love Wally in his rain gear, and the “WTF?” look on Beckett’s face was priceless.
Thank you, TG. The first part may be the best.
Is that Theo playing guitar???
Now THAT is pure comedy right there.
Don’t think Paps quite knows how to rock the dreads. lol
That was priceless.
That video is an instant classic. Paps’ moves make me laugh! Wally in his rain gear is adorable. And yes, Beckett’s face was worth it all.
Paps in dreads. Gotta love it.
they’re all in socks :)
MDC is f-ing coordinated, I know that much. Pap’s got the acting and the emotion down but Manny’s got the MOVES. I want more Manny dancing!
he’s my 2nd baseball husband behind Jacoby….ahh, love me a Manny.
Beckett: “so this is what you guys f-ing do while I’m out executing f-ing pitches.”
THIS IS AMAZING.
Oh God.
Hahaha.
Well, one of us should be on suicide watch now.
I would just love to know who decided to do this…. it was obviously well staged and produced. And what other secret videos are lurking out there???
Hella Funny!!!
I almost peed myself!
I love it!
Papelbon almost looked surprised, like he didn’t even remember doing that. Beckett’s reaction is amazing, and I think I’ve started to love MDC. And the fact that they’re lip-synching a song that the original “artists” lip-synched? I believe that, in some stange way, the universe has come full circle.
This is the best thing to ever happen to water.
I saw the end of it and was sad i missed it. So funny i almost cried! Lpove the part when pap gets dumped with water!
MDC is HOT in that video! He definitely has it all over Papelboogie when it comes to the moves. Paps forgets to use the microphone sometimes… But the bucket of water makes up for it.
I love Wally…..who IS that guy inside there??
Did they also have to give back the Grammys they won?!! lol
that was mega hillarius
