Fight Night: It Ain’t Over ‘Til It’s Over

Jonathan Papelbon is not a big fan of the Rays – and he has a long memory. Don’t think he’s letting go of what happened last week.
In his weekly chat on Comcast, he was asked about Jonny Gomes and Carl Crawford jumping in to sucker-punch Coco:
In my opinion, it’s a bunch of bull what they did. All I got to say is what comes around goes around, man. Payback is a bitch, man – I tell you what. In my opinion, and the way I feel right now, this thing isn’t all settled and done. We still got to play them a few more times and I know when we go into Tropicana things will be a little bit different than when went in there last time.
I’m surprised you haven’t posted this Papelbon story yet

Come on now… that’s gotta be worthy of a post
As I commented on that story at Deadspin, it’s an OLD story – from back in October of last year, and it was ALL OVER the internet way back then. I have no idea why Deadspin was so behind the times on that one.
What I want to know is: next week, will Tanguay and Felger ask Papelbon about THAT story or what?
Also- in the future, if anyone has story requests or recommendations, it’s best to email them to me directly rather than comment on an unrelated post. 99 times out of 100, I’ll get to it a lot faster.
As great as it is Paps is showing that there’s still more to the story, I wish he hadn’t said anything. Now the umps are going to probably warn both benches before the game even starts and immediately eject for even brush-backs. It’s going to put a damper on any interesting fireworks (not that it’ll stop them, of course).
