Joba Rules

I am so fucking sick of Joba Chamberlain. Yes...he is good, yes he can be great, but please ESPN, YES, FOX Sports, just SHUT THE FUCK UP ABOUT HIM ALREADY. I have heard of human interest stories, but this is getting out of hand. There is so much focus on Chamberlain that it takes away from the game.

I feel like screaming with all this bullshit attention Chamberlain is getting.



He will be SITTING in the bullpen in the FIRST INNING blowing bubbles with his gum and Joe Morgan will come in with "Now, that is a real champion right there. Only a rookie of Chamberlain's caliber can blow bubbles that big." Mean while, Beckett just threw at Jeters head and there is a bench clearing brawl, but does ESPN cover the brawl? No, the cover Joba clipping his nails....it is bullshit. So please, wait till the kid has done something really good, like throw a no-hitting in his second start, then you can talk about him all you want. JUST SHUT UP.

Dear Manny,

Where'd you go, we miss you so, seems like it's been forever since you've been gone, please COME BACK TO THE LINE UP.

ARE YOU KIDDING ME? WE ARE LOSING GAMES BECAUSE YOU ARE OUT OF THE LINE UP. 20 MILL FOR YOU TO SIT ON THE BENCH BECAUSE YOUR BACK HURTS? AWWWWW POOR BABY. HERE IS AN IDEA, GET OFF THE BENCH, PICK UP A BAT AND HIT HOMERUNS TO HELP US WIN GAMES. MAYBE IT IS YOUR HAIR THAT IS CAUSING ALL YOUR BACK PROBLEMS. I AM SURE YOU HAVE ENOUGH MONEY TO GET A HAIR CUT AND STOP BEING SO TOP HEAVY. I MEAN COME ON, YOU DO KNOW WHAT A HAIR CUT IS, DON'T YOU? OR ARE YOU TO STONED TO KNOW?

Sincerely,
All of Boston

GOD DAMN IT

ERIC GAGNE WOULD YOU KEEP A LEAD? WHY ARE WE PLAYING YOU TO BLOW LEADS LIKE THIS? ARE YOU KIDDING ME?

THE GAME IS NOT OVER NOW, HUH BIG GUY. PICK UP YOUR GAME OR YOU WILL BE RUN OUT OF BOSTON.

Puerto Rican or Native American...You Decide

People In Split Love Their Hajduk

Pronounced Hi-Duke, Hajduk Split is a soccer team in the first division of the Croatian (Hrvatski) soccer league. They are probably worse then every MLS team yet get more respect because they are from Europe. Also, everyone in Split is bonkers for them. Their team symbol is emblazoned on every single apartment complex and their flag flies from every post in Split, the second largest city in Croatia. When I was walking around in a Red Star Belgrade jersey (not even the same country although formerly part of Yugoslavia together) during a Hajduk game in Split, I was almost assaulted....like 10 times by drunken fans pissed at Hajduk´s loss to Sampdoria in the UEFA cup qualifying. In Europe, be careful about what soccer jerseys you wear.
