Nats release Papelgoon.

[SlappyUtilityMIF]

Could he help the bullpen this year and next? Allow us to deal Street? 

Or, is his douchieness too much?

***Papelbon had a 2.56 ERA on July 26, but in his next five appearances, he allowed eight earned runs in 3 1/3 innings. After the team acquired Melancon, Papelbon was primarily used for mop-up duty.***

Thoughts?.... 

[tdawg87]

*takes deep breath*

No.

[ukyah]

he probably could, but the thought makes me sick to my stomach. he's a very difficult player to like, to say the least.

[disarcina]

wow -- amazes me that teams are making moves like this when it's almost August 15th and about two weeks away from expanded rosters.

even the A-Rod move -- they could have found some place (DL ?) to put him for two weeks and let him finish out the season......and now this.

 

[CaliAngel]

Screw that clown.

All he does is throw for one inning and he's not even that good at that.

Too much...way too much.

[tdawg87]

He has the most punchable face since Adam Dodge.

[Blarg]

Butthole lips would probably try to get into with Trout for not running out a home run instead of jogging.

The fact he attacked Bryce Harper is enough to make me not want him on the same team as Trout.  Seriously I don't want anybody who might injure an Angel player by losing his temper.

MLB Network had an analysis of him earlier today. Most of his meaningful statistics this season are career worsts, and he has lost a significant amount of velocity off his fastball, which was his out pitch. A contending team who could limit his exposure in games could possibly use him. His contract ends this season, so he's either going to suck and be out of the game, or he will pitch barely well enough for someone to invite him to spring training on a minor league contract. I really don't expect more than that. I cannot imagine why the Angels would pick him up, because his only purpose in signing here would be to audition for someone else for next season. All of the signs are pointing in the wrong direction.

Yes, he is an insufferable douche, but there are plenty of other reasons to say no.

[Billy_Ball]

We just signed a failed former Boston closer.  Don't need another.

[Angel Oracle]

I prefer to remember beating his arse in the 2009 ALDS.

I'd punch Rihanna's face with my wiener, that's for sure.

Feels like we are reaching a point where teams, league-wide, are starting to turn a corner and will cut vets/big-name players much quicker than usual, regardless of the money eaten. It had been trending this way awhile, and there were always examples here or there, but it seems like it's really come to a head this season.

Cubs are taking a look at him, to possibly be their setup man.

 

[Tank]

as the grinch so poignantly once said, "i wouldn't touch him with a . . . thirty-nine and a half foot pole."

 

 

and you're welcome for the ear worm.

[Biergott]

One of the few things that could make this season worse is Papelsmear as a halo.  Just say no to Mr. CatButtMouth.

How could you punch a face like that? There is no doucheness in him

Looks like a younger Dipoto. Gross.

Now a Cub?

I'm going to laugh my ass off if Papsmear blows a game that prevents the the Cubs from going to the world series.

Or picks a fight and breaks Arrieta's arm before the WS.
