Jonathan Papelbon on Why Tom Reilly’s Tax Message Works Best

September 6, 2006 By maverickdem

You see, Jonathan Papelbon is not a doctor.  He (nor I) has no idea what a "transient subluxation event in his right shoulder" means.  Sure, he cares, but he doesn't care to know the details.  Ahh, yes, but Papelbon does … [Read more...]
