Every member of the Boston Red Sox stood behind teammate Jonathan Papelbon during clubhouse interviews Sunday, vociferously defending the embattled reliever's assertion that the team's first-round sweep by the Angels was entirely his fault. 'Pap is one of the best in the game, and if he says he single-handedly blew the series, then I'm with him,' said second baseman Dustin Pedroia, who agreed that the closer's Game 3 ninth-inning meltdown was '100 percent on Papelbon.' 'Sometimes you have a bad day, and sometimes that bad day ruins an entire year's worth of work in the blink of an eye. I'm happy to go to war with a man who knows when he fails so totally and completely.' Though Papelbon expressed appreciation for his teammates' backing, he did mention that he never actually said anything like that.
