Hail to the King, BABY!

You know, I find that sort of hero worship to be pathetic.

Shame on you.

Hahahaha, guess I had that coming to me. Don't hate on Joba, he's a lean, mean, pussying wrecking machine. Got the Sox number now too, apparently. 

Boston better shape up or they might be looking from the outside in come October considering the Yanks are making this run without their best pitcher and a host of injuries.

[UPINTHEMGUTS]

Yep, Joba is pretty nasty. Moving him into the rotation was heavily opposed by the media critics. But his recent showings are making them look wrong.

Also, the Yankees' trade for those two players was a huge move. One starter in the hitting order and one set up guy for the bullpen. They have enough offense for sure but those trades solidified their batting order and bullpen for the stretch run.

Yanks smacking those faggy BoSox around again. Looking good Boston. Without a doubt, THE best team in baseball*!!!!!! OWNED!

The only thing that got owned, was joba's shoulder..... Looks like the ace can't handle the stress of being a starter.

Who woulda thunk it in regards to Mussina

That's what makes this season so frustrating from an injury standpoint - the Yankees were banking on him as a 4-5 to compliment the rest.

If Cashman pulled the trigger on the Santana deal, the Yankees are in first right now, and we don't have watch the absolutely terrible Melky Cabrerra try to play baseball.

Oh well, if the Yanks don't end up getting in, they should throw the bank at Sabathia, giving the '09 Yankees a rotation of Sabathia, Wang, Chamberlain, Hughes, Mussina/Pettitte/Kennedy.  That's damn good.

Oh I think their going after Sabathia big time.I just hope the Brewers don't ruin him.they no he's not staying so they never take him out of the game
Melky is good in center but flat out atrocious with a bat

defintely going back to the bullpen when gets off the DL.

They tried the same shit with Pap, Joba is a closer/bullpen guy......and a damn good one. Leave him alone Hank

No chance at all.

Joba's a starter, and has always been a starter -it's been the plan all along.  He's also proven already that he's able to handle the role, and has the makeup to be a solid #1.  The injury he has is common wear, not something that would prevent him from being a starter.

I doubt he'll ever see the bullpen again, unless it was one of those playoff games where everone's available to be used for relief.
