08:38 AM ET 06.20 | Jonathan Papelbon grouped reporters together to strongly strike down a report that he would be willing to sign with the New York Yankees. "I don't want to go (expletive) play for the Yankees," he said. "I've been on a team for the past five years that's been in first place more than any other (expletive) team otherwise. Why would I want to leave?" Papelbon said he was "nowhere even close" to suggesting he would sign with the Yankees. "Sometimes in these quotes they only see what they want to see," he said. "[The Red Sox] don't owe me nothing," he said. "This team doesn't need me. I need the Red Sox more than the Red Sox need me." He said that where he signs when his contract expires in 2011 only has to do with how happy he is.

sweet jesus NO! i sure hope he doesn't go the route that damon, clemens, and whomever the hell else did and cross over to the "other side". damon "was" boston, so was clemens, martinez etc. i hope he stays. whatever the hell happened to team loyalty. f@#k the money; they all got it, so it's not about money. think about the fans papeldude; think about us fans who buy your jerseys, who buy tickets etc. don't do it dude!!!

OK BoSox fans.....not too long ago, you were like the Cubs-a team starving for a championship and trying like he-ll to end your drought. Now youre making fun of cubs fans and their team for the same thing you guys went through? Show a little humility!!

There used to be a lot of long summers in Boston until 2004. Now BoSox fans think theyre the new Yankees who, BTW, have 26 WS Titles. Oh, and Im not a cubs or yankees fan just in case anyone wants to claim that I am...
