JOBA DOBA "DO"N'T

In what felt like a world series atmosphere, where flash bulbs were blinding as Joba dealt his first pitch of his career as a starter. I myself for a moment lost sight of all the problems the Yankees are having.
I couldn't help but envision what Joba (hopefully) turns out to be.
Although the runs that were scored against him were some of the softest runs imaginable between the walks the balk the past ball and the error. Joba was as wild as we have ever seen him.
Truth is, could you blame him? This was supposed to be a part of the "plan" .
But it wasn't just any plain old start. This turned out to be one of the biggest events that Yankee stadium has hosted in the past few years. Which really isn't all that fair for young Joba. This wildness that Joba displayed was solely based on nerves and will surely not be the case in his next start which is slated to be against the lowly Royals.
I think its safe to say that the current bullpen the Yankees have will not exactly be in tact in say...two months from now. And unless Mark Melancon is ready sooner than expected, its imminent that a move must be done( Brian Fuentes anybody?)

Sambo,
That Farnsworth- Hawkins 8th inning must have the red sox Salivating!! Mariano probably won't get into another meaningful game this year.

Maybe the standing ovation from the hazeet phony yankee fans was for him finally putting yankee fans out of their misery.

Sambo,
Joe Girardi is such a tremendous manager walking the #9 hitter to pitch to eckstein who hits a 3 run double. His Geeut will destroy the team.
