Jonathan Papelbon came over to the Philadelphia Phillies from a Red Sox team that, at the time, probably had more leaders than actual soldiers. In his time with Philly, Papelbon has been waiting for one of the Phillies to step up and take a vocal role...

After allowing a run in the ninth inning of last night's 4-3 loss to the Dodgers, Phillies closer Jonathan Papelbon called out the home plate umpire who he believed blew a "strike three" call and said that umpires need to be held more accountable...

The Philadelphia Phillies have agreed to a contract with former Boston Red Sox closer Jonathan Papelbon.

People.  I've seen some crazy sports nights in my life.  But my sweet Lord.  Nothing was quite as crazy as what happened Wednesday night in the MLB.  After a 161 games of rather un-eventful baseball, Major League Baseball seemed to save up all the mind-boggling drama for one night.  The result?  The Red Sox and the Braves blow historic leads while the Rays and Cardinals sneak into the playoffs.  

Two days after crying and acting like a little baby, Red Sox closer Jonathan Papelbon has received a 3-game suspension and a fine for an undisclosed amount.
