Red Sox Mad At Fans

Well here is a story that irritated me today...

"He had been perfect in the postseason, or as perfect as one can be, with an 0.00 ERA over 26 innings. Jonathan Papelbon -- one of the game's best closers and the Red Sox's franchise leader with 151 career saves -- walked off the Fenway Park mound Sunday to a chorus of boos.

"Why would you boo one of the best closers in the game?" the Angels' Hunter asked. "Booing Papelbon was not the right thing to do. I've got so much respect for him and I think he's one of the best closers in the game. That's terrible, actually."

"Look at what he's done in the playoffs, look at what he's done during the season," Lester said. "[It wasn't] even a bad outing, a team just beat him. I don't really appreciate that for what he's done for this city and what he's brought to this team. If you're [booing] based off one bad performance here, it's just not right."
Added Manny Delcarmen: "A little more respect for a guy like that, what he's done here. I don't think that was the right thing to do at the time."

Papelbon has been outstanding in his career with the Red Sox, but I am sorry no matter what if you get swept and lose the way the Sox did yesterday you are going to get booed. This was one of the most aggravating seasons I can remember as a Sox fan. There were so many highs and lows, but in the end Papelbon blew it, the Sox played like shit, and the fans let them know how they felt. I have 0 problem with that...
