JOBA FEST '08

[thrill]

I have one question for you, baseball fans...





Are you ready?

I'm hoping his rotator cuff explodes out of his shoulder and a flying shard from his humerus impales Derek Jeter.

I prefer to just call him "The Hut"

I've refused to listen to Nebraska sports radio for the past week (it's usually quite good, honestly). It's almost as bad as Husker football season.

I think the Joba hate is more than Yankee envy. Granted, in limited action, he has been pretty damn impressive, but I have never heard someone talked about more, while accomplishing less, than Joba. Put him on any other team not in Boston or NY and people are asking "what the hell is a Joba."

Plus his antics after strikeouts are very Zambranoesque. He's lucky he pitches in the American league.

[Spider John]

Have they started the new wing on the Hall Of Fame, or will he rate his own separate building?

They are going to allocate the state of New Jersey to serve as his "State of Fame."

Awesome.

[Transmogrified Tiger]

Same sentiment, different player.

ESPN just had an "MLB Update" take over the bottom line for a couple minutes. The breaking news? Derek Jeter had singled, that moved him into THIRD all time in hits for the Yankees.

I'm not sure if this stuff makes me angrier at ESPN, or FSN for not doing more to take over Sportscenter with it's superior Final Score.
