A dramatic Red Sox season of twists and turns
March 8: Papelbon says Philly fans know baseball better: Former Red Sox closer Jonathan Papelbon rocked Red Sox nation with comments to a Philadelphia radio station: "The difference between Boston and Philadelphia, the Boston fans are a little bit more hysterical when it comes to the game of baseball. The Philly fans, I think they tend to know the game a little better, being in the National League, you know, the way the game is played. I’ve had a guy take of his prosthetic leg and throw it in the bullpen in Boston." Papelbon earned a save against the Red Sox when he faced his former team for the first time on May 19.
