North Jersey.com-Klapisch: Joba drives like Rocket, hurls like Pedro

As quickly as Chamberlain has become a Bronx star, his ascension to Public Enemy No. 1 in Boston has been just as rapid. The rookie throws nearly 100 mph, he’s being mentored by Roger Clemens, and has been the face of the Yankees’ revival. What’s not to loathe, if you belong to the Nation?

So, how many times have the Yankees hit big sloppy? Errrr, Ortiz.

This is, of course, a sore point with Yankees fans. He comes to the plate in a rocking chair and they serve him up.

Heh heh… wallet inspector! I was actually picturing wallet boy, but either works.

From now on, whenever I have a question about a manager, Jaffe's book will be the first and last one I reach for.

John Brattain Memorial Fund

The Hardball Times has set up a memorial fund for John Brattain's family. He left behind a wife and two teenage daughters.

Four years ago, I found from personal experience how generous the online community can be to its own in their hour of need. I am now literally begging you to be even more generous than you were to me.
