You know, it would be nice if the one person representing the Philadelphia Phillies at this year's All Star Game didn't also viscerally hate playing for the franchise.
Jonathan Papelbon has been asked numerous times this year about the possibility of him being traded to a contender. And, every time, Papelbon has responded by eagerly wishing for it to happen, quietly stabbing a Phillies voo-doo doll behind his back, wishing, praying, begging for a contender to come and save him from this misery.
I have defended Papelbon each and every time he's implored the Phillies to trade him.
