Varitek and Papelbon Have Their Own Sox Elimination Party
Bostonherald – Just hours after Red Sox [team stats] skipper Terry Francona was kicked to the curb, team captain Jason Varitek [stats] and closer Jonathan Papelbon [stats] partied at Strega Waterfront, popping champagne and yukking it up in front of a roomful of shocked diners. “The place was packed,” said Someone Who Was There. “They came in with a couple of ladies and went into one of the side rooms, but there’s a glass wall and everyone could see them. Although a team source swore the two were not toasting the demise of Tito, the timing of Friday night’s end-of-a-sorry-season celebration was lousy at best. “Either they didn’t care or they didn’t get it,” said our spywitness. “Papelbon, who blew the last game of the season, and Varitek were out drinking champagne after their boss just got fired.”But according to the team source, the players’ party was a farewell bash (both may be gone from the Sox next year) and the champagne was to toast Varitek and his fiancee, Catherine Panagiotopoulos.
I kind of wish I read this article before I posted that last one. I would have made two changes. Both Papelbon and Varitek would have moved into the overpaid assholes who don’t give a shit about life category. I don’t care what this team source says. This is 100% unacceptable and just shows what cocksuckers these guys are. You don’t fucking go out in public and start popping bottles 5 seconds after you just completed the greatest collapse in the history of sports. You literally have to be the biggest morons on the planet to pull a stunt like this. I don’t care if they don’t give a fuck. This is just rubbing people’s noses in it. Total dickhead move. Just shows how little this team cared about winning or the fans or the city. Both these guys can go fuck themselves for all I care.

you mad, bro?
God this team was/is fucking brutal to cheer for. I feel like I’m cheering on the Yankees. Gross.
oh well. they are gone anyway. time for some changes. hopefully theo is gone and they get a gm that can sign some talent that want to play like a team.
i get the hostility to paps, but varitek gets exemption from me for years of solid work
Varitek is slowly becoming like Wakefield… We appreciate what you have done for us in the past, but come on, you got nothing left.
people need to understand that to some people in the MLB its just a job…
Weird story. Maybe they were just blowin’ off some steam and gettin’ blown themselves. Like, everyone hates them right now anyway, so fuck it. I like that crazy mofo Paps(mear) and Tek has obviously put in his time with the club, so I’m willing to give them the benefit of the doubt until further info comes out.
Don’t get me wrong, I love how you inbred masshole shitheads just can’t handle the Babe’s return, but give me a fucking break. Criticizing professional players for celebrating the season being over? All you’re doing is confirming how little you know about sports and how little you share with real athletes. They work their dick-off across 180 games. You get drunk on the fucking couch and write average material in your underwear. I’d be surprised if you did 180 push-ups this year. Athletes move on. Pathetic fans don’t. Just because you made first team All-Jewish on your inner-city softball team doesn’t give you the slightest insight into what real athletes do.
Honestly Pres, you are reaching now. The season ended 2 days prior to that and probably 95% of the players are over it. This is their job and unfortunately even if they do shitty they still get paid. Not saying they don’t care but if you honestly think this is ruining their personal lives. then smh.
Varitek actually only played in like 60 games and hit .220, Paps pitched 64 total innings all year. I wouldnt use a part time catcher and a closer as examples of guys who “work their dick off for 180 games”
Love how the only baseball player in the history of the sport to wear a “C” on his jersey is that fucking no talent asshole Varitex. The guy is a joke and has been for the past 3 years.
It amazes me that there are adults who actually believe that today’s MLB players, with their guaranteed contracts give two shits about the city they play in, the fans, or anything else but themselves and their money.
Not surprised Papelbon would pull a stunt like this, one of the least likable players in the MLB today, just a total douche. I’m glad Varitek finally showed his true colors though. Same guy who had to fight with a catchers mask and glove on is obviously a complete douche pussy. The stories coming out now about this team is just fantastic, I hope it never ends.
Can’t say their timing is any good, but article is incorrect to say that Francona was fired. Based on all the reports, Francona asked the Red Sox not to pick up their option for 2012 and to let him leave. That’s not firing, that’s both sides deciding to move on. No one has reported that Theo wanted to stay here.
seriously? what are they supposed to go into a period of mourning for 40 days because they lost a bunch of boringball games and the guy that got paid to sit next to them on the bench got fired?
These guys have lives and were probably just toasting the end of another extremely long and extremely boring season. God know I would if I had to spend 48954 days a year slapping a ball with a stick all day.
A farewell bash for two guys who “may” be gone next year? Kind of tells me they each have a foot out the door.
Fuck yeah, Prez
Bard > Papelbon
Lavarnway > Saltalamacchia > Varitek
Blind deaf Retarded kids > Both corner outfielders Drew and Crawford
Any fan on any night > Lackey and Wakefield
Who gives a shit they’re 2 of about 15 guys who should be on their way outta town along with Theo that shitbag. I’m celebrating the fact that they’re celebrating leaving town. It’s just a shame it was only them popping bottles too bad we couldn’t get Lackey, Beckett, Drew, Crawford and any pitcher not named Lester or Bard to join in the Get the Fuck Outta Boston Celebration.
Can we take Varitek and Wakefield out back and put them out of their misery? They’re like Old Yeller, except everybody ignored the fact they had rabies. I really hope this shit doesn’t happen to Brady, Garnett, Pierce, and Allen. Know when to call it quits.
EPIC move, athletes don’t give a shit about winning or losing, all they care about is money hense ozzy guillen.
Miami Marlins FTW
i didn’t know it was illegal to drink after a tough month of work. get over it, EP. when you’re a rich athlete with rings you party with hot smokes every chance you get so shut the fuck up and stop bitching about what your “favorite” team does in the OFFSEASON.
All I can think about when I read this article is that scene from Fever Pitch where they were freaking out because they saw some of the Sox players eating at a restaurant and chillin when being down 3-0 to the Yanks. Calm your ass down. Just because they are trying to have some fun instead of sitting in a dark apartment eating bon bons and crying themselves to sleep over this collapse doesnt mean that they dont care. Get over yourselves. This is just a game after all.
They aren’t even on the team anymore. They aren’t currently being paid by the Red Sox. Who cares?
