Being a NY Yankee fan is not all it is cracked up to be...People ten to think you are obnoxious immediately and yes we can be but not all the time. Now it has been along time since the Yanks had any homegrown young talent on the MAJOR LEAGUE ROSTER...It has been over 10 years since Jeter, Mariano and Posada were called up so with Phil Hughes, Ian Kennedy and Joba I was excited...
That did not last long, Hughes has a cracked rib, Kennedy cant get a little leaguer out and Joba pitches one inning a game, if we are lucky..So recently David Dellucci hit a home run off Joba and on the next night Joba strikes him and shows some emotion by fist pump..Does not look at David Dellucci or show him up just gets pumped up...Well, you would think he burned his house down with how everyone is acting..
What makes it worse a former Yankee Goose Gossage comes out and says “That’s just not the Yankee way, what Joba did. Let everyone else do that stuff, but not a Yankee,” Gossage said by telephone on Saturday. “What I don’t understand is, the kid’s got the greatest mentor in the world in Mariano [Rivera]. He’s one of the leaders of the team, so you’d think it wouldn’t happen on that.
Goose Gossage is 57-years old and Joba Chamberlain is 22-years old.team, so Goose could be Joba's dad...22 year old playiing a game showing some excitement, hmm thats just wrong..Come on Goose get a grip..
