Joba Chamberlain to DL, won't face Royals

Joba's throwing shoulder is wonky so he's off to the DL. He was scheduled to start against the Royals, but now it will be somebody else (no one is quite sure who it might be....Hughes off the DL by then maybe?). This is not huge Royals news, but since I'll likely be at Yankee Stadium then, I'd much rather see Hughes or some AAA scrub start for the Yanks than Joba.

I am going to one of the games too.

We have tickets for the 17th. I wanted to see Yankee Stadium before they tear it down.

Lucky for Joba. We’d of torn him to pieces.

Don't forget to send your broken maples to the US Forest Service.

I am glad

We won’t be facing the most overrated pitcher in baseball.

I don't doubt he's good

But the media paints him out to be the greatest pitcher who ever lived. Let’s have him pitch a full season before we anoint him as the next big thing.
