Red Sox closer Jonathan Papelbon called out Manny Ramirez, who is now with the L.A. Dodgers, a "cancer" to his former team. No one else has stepped forward to agree with the outspoken pitcher's remarks and Ramirez declined the opportunity to lash back. Well, the Dodgers didn't have to compete much to land Ramirez (2 year, $45 million). I suppose they see Ramirez not as a Terrell Owens, but the key in getting to the playoffs this season.

2 year 45 suppose ramirez terrell owens key playoffs season

Papelbum is the biggest asshole in baseball and that was prior to his remark about Ramirez. His remark was just more icing on his bitter cake. If there ever was a person that needed to be taken out by a line drive, Paplebum fits the bill!!

Papelbon just likes to run his mouth. Last year at the All Star game that was held at New York for it's last year as the Yankees' stadium Papelbon said that he felt that he deserved to be the closer for the American League because he was better than Mariano Rivera. I don't care if he really thinks it's true, it was more than just a game for Rivera that day. And I'm glad he got the crap booed out of him. He just likes to talk. But Ramirez isn't a cancer, The Red Sox traded him away and still got to the American League Championship game, so how is he a cancer? It's not like T.O. he left the Niners in bad shape, then he left the Eagles and they suck. That's a cancer to teams, not Ramirez. I'm a Yankee fan but I respect the guys from the Red Sox like Pedroia, Ortiz, Youkilis, etc. but Papelbon is just a punk.
