LOL @ Papelbon

http://sports.espn.go.com/mlb/news/story?id=4445223

"Baseball's attempts to speed up the pace of the game have taken some getting used to for Boston Red Sox closer Jonathan Papelbon -- to the tune of thousands of dollars.

Papelbon was fined $5,000 by Major League Baseball for taking too long to deliver his first pitch Tuesday night, according to Boston-area media reports. It was at least the fifth time he's been cited for failure to adhere to baseball's new speed limits for pitchers and Papelbon says he's been fined more than $10,000 total.

"After this, I don't know, man," Papelbon said, according to the Boston Herald, which first reported the fine. "I think they're going to call my parole officer and put me away."

I hate to defend anyone on the BoSux

but it’s the players that find the need to adjust their batting gloves, body armor, and jockstrap in between every pitch that irk me more.

During the Game...

Kay and Cone mentioned that the Ump can give ball to a batter or a strike to a batter if they feel the batter is delaying the game. They were saying the fines are a drop in the bucket (and I believe it considering baseball players have the highest salaries in pro sports).
