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.
