And he's now been suspended 3 games by MLB. Papelbon is doing his best to turn in the the league villain. From adjusting his junk at the home fans to throwing fastballs close to people's heads. The guy is not well liked by most MLB fans.

The real context of that was that Machado hit a go ahead home run off of Scherzer in the 7th and perhaps in Papelbon's mind he admired it for a second too long. Scherzer was pissed, but clearly he was mad at himself. Then two innings later Paps does his thing.

Still, if you're going to throw at someone, you keep it shoulder height or below. I don't think it's the fact he threw at him that set everyone off, if how close he came to hitting him in the head.

At least with Paps you know where you stand. Yeh he's a jerk but Ive never heard him say he wasn't. The Nats seem to have more players with jerky attitudes.

Exactly right. Although drilling him in the ribs would have been uncalled for too. The guy hit a home run. He didn't seem to admire it too long and there was no barking about it from Scherzer when he hit it. Just deal with it and move on.

When Paps was revealed as Gameday guest I was disappointed, but

Paps is awesome.

After he hit the stage cigar in tote, like a boss, I loved it. Honest to goodness, I would have much rather had him than some teenage pop queen leading the bear chant not even knowing the words.

Paps might have been underwhelming to others, but it definitely meant more to me. Thought it was cool that our own celebrity had the spotlight. Obviously our own athletic department recommended him.

ETA: Took some friends from ACC county to the LSU game. While we were speculating on whether we'd get GameDay or not they both mentioned how awesome Paps was. I think anyone saying otherwise cheers for the Rebs. Without question one of the best to ever play his position in Major League Baseball. He's a jackass but he's still a big deal.

Paps is a household name among baseball fans and will go down as one of the greatest closers ever. So that guest picker was no slouch.

He's actually not a jerk, if you know him. He's funny as hell and fun to be around.

I don't follow mlb as much as I used to. Is there any bad blood between the two, or the two teams? Or is it just a contested regional series?

Bob Gibson & Rob Dibble don't understand the brouhaha over this.
