MLB.com is reporting that during a red carpet parade for the All-Star Game which went down Sixth Avenue in Manhattan, Boston Red Sox loudmouthed closer Jonathan Papelbon and his wife Ashley were bombarded by taunts and insults from fans.
“I feel like I needed to be in a bullet-proof car,” Papelbon said, according to the Web site. “My wife is pregnant and she’s getting her life threatened. It’s stupid.”
Threatening women is in no way cool, pregnant or not. But this guy Papelbon just doesn’t get it. If you antagonize New Yorkers…they’re gonna bite back, right or wrong.
Papelbon needs to grow up and ‘LaLooshify’ if he doesn’t want repeat performances. Hell, his wife probably smacked him upside the head herself when they got back to the hotel.
This bad home video shows what Papeldouche faced as he entered the game:
