Afternoon Red Sox Delight - 5/12

beisbolct posted 5/12/2008 from soxanddawgs.com [flag]

I got to thinking last night after watching Big Papi mock Terry Francona during last night’s Boston Red Sox versus Minnesota Twins game that I had heard Tito say he was going to kick Big Papi’s ass once before. So I did some research today and came across a post here on SOX & Dawgs from last year where Big Papi mocked Tito during a Red Sox/Yankees game last year on FOX [link]
