The Pap App

There have been some big doings for the Red Sox lately what with the signing of Adrian Gonzalez and Carl Crawford. I'm sure you all know the details about that so I'm not going to bother to get into it beyond saying that those two things almost make up for the loss of Victor (although what a nice lineup that would have been with Victor in it too).

No, I want to talk about Papelbon. I read this article on WEEI last week where Tito told reporters that no, he hadn't talked to Pap about the offer the Red Sox made to Mariano Rivera saying “No, I will. I’d reach out to Pap from time to time, but he may not even know.” I told this story to my husband that evening and mentioned this one from ESPN where Pap had professed to know nothing about last year's off-season moves. My husband decided that what Pap needs is a Pap App to download. A simple app that will show him with stick figures and simple drawings what is going on.  For example, a picture of Adrian Gonzalez wearing a Red Sox shirt. A picture of Youk with an arrow going from first base to third. It can push him notifications every week to check it and keep up to date. I think it's a brilliant idea.
