I've said it before, I'll say it again: giving Jonathan Papelbon an open mic is a thing of wonder and beauty. He's got those weekly Friendly's Scoop segments, but that and the few minutes of occasional post-game interviews are just not enough to contain his awesomeness.

Case in point: Tina Cervasio did the "Nine Innings" feature with him before Tuesday's game in Cleveland- and he delivers again with all kinds of gems. We learn that the AL batter who "rakes him" the most is Frank Catalanotto. Funniest guy on the Sox? Big Papi (though Doug Mirabelli also gets a mention). He likes to eat PB&J before games. He would not want to face off against Coco at the plate. His favorite city to play in? L.A. Not because of the baseball, but because he gets tons of free stuff from Quiksilver while he's there. And he talks about moose hunting- which is always a treat. (His hair style deserves honorable mention for its outstanding performance.)

NESN: PAPYBOO NEEDS HIS OWN WEEKLY SHOW. Where he can talk for an hour about whatever the hell he pleases, and bring on random Sox guests (or whoever else he wants). Hell, give him a DAILY show- there is definitely enough content there. Make it happen.
