Jonathan Papelbon took a shot at Boston fans on Thursday, telling a Philadelphia radio station that Phillies fans "tend to know the game a little better" than fans in Boston. The closer added that fans in Boston were "a little bit more hysterical when it comes to the game of baseball." Papelbon signed with Philadelphia this winter after spending six seasons as the closer in Boston. "It's a religion (in Boston). It's a way of life," Papelbon said on 94WIP's "Angelo Cataldi and The Morning Team." "(Fans) come to the field and they expect certain things out of players. ... It's an environment where you put up or shut up. I enjoyed that. That's what got my motor running every day. ... I've had a guy take off his prosthetic leg and throw it in the bullpen in Boston and want me to sign it."
