Papelbon on Letterman

The uber-entertaining Red Sox pitcher Jonathon Papelbon was on Letterman last night, doing his famous Irish stepping and his best, most indecipherable Boomhauer imitation. The guy was hilarious, proof that he has a real future as a comedian — and as the captain of this blogger's heart.

Highlights include his secret nicknames for Big Papi ("Bedazzler" and "The Large Father"), an explanation of his semi-naked Underoos jig after the division clinch, and, best of all, a short analysis of what he's thinking about while on the mound. Perhaps that explains why his face takes on the Look of Lucifer when pitching. Check out the full clip here. Papelbon translates to "good paper" indeed.
