It’s About Fucking Time.
Since there has been a noticeable absence of Yankees subject matter here at The Stool (on a New York sports site, for fuck’s sake), I have been brought in to fulfill all of your needs concerning the best team on the planet. Keep an eye out for nightly posts as the Yankees pull further and further away from the scrappy, underdog, small-market, bearded scumbags to the North. Buckle up motherfuckers, I’m on the Barstool dime now! Since this is my first post, I feel like this needs to be prefaced. I am not the typical all-Joba-all-the-time douchebag Yankees blogger. However, last night’s start does bear some significance regarding the Yankees march to Number 27. So fuck off, and read it even though it’s about Joba Chamberlain.
After being force-fed to Yankees Universe every second of every day by every asshole radio host, columnist, and announcer in New York, Joba Chamberlain finally reminded us why he became such a big fucking deal in the first place. Aside from a solo homerun given up to the decrepit Vlad Guerrero, Chamberlain was effective through a four inning start. He could have been more economical (just under 17 pitches/inn.), but the bottom line is that he didn’t walk anyone, and the game didn’t get out of hand. That’s how starters win ballgames. Look, I was just as Joba-Crazy as everyone else when he was trotting out of the pen and smoking motherfuckers left and right. But facts are facts, and guys that throw four above-average pitchers are starters. I don’t give a shit what Mike Francesa wheezes into his microphone. For this team to win a World Series, Joba needs to start and pitch well. Sabathia has yet to prove that he can do it in October, Pettitte is 106 years old, and AJ Burnett has looked like a monkey fucking a football over the last month. With a team as good as this one winning the Division Series means shit, so a fourth starter WILL come into play.

4 IP from your starter? i wouldn’t get too geeked about that.
tim redding can handle that much.
yawn…
I’m confused. What does Tom Hanks has to do with this post?
Jimmy Doogan can be represented in any post and it makes sense.
By the way I loved you in the wizard of oz.
I’m pretty sure blogging about how happy you are over a 4-inning start with no BB’s proves you agree with everyone who says Joba’s gonna cost you. You better hope he doesn’t start at home in the playoffs…
“…guys that throw four above-average pitchers are starters…” – whoops.
What’s with those last two sentences? Sabathia hasn’t proven he can do it in October…OK, and Joba hasn’t proven he can do anything in any month. And I’d take a 37 year-old Pettitte (on the Clemens cycle, that’s about his prime) in the playoffs any day. If you’re saying you’re gonna have to rely on Joba to cover for those two, then you’re saying you have no chance at even making it to the WS, let alone winning.
How awesome would it be if a Yankee fan actually knew what he was talking about?
Great, a AAA/NY version of Jerry Thornton. That post was 20 lines too long.
I’m a sox guy and have the worst hangover of my life and could still write a better piece on the yanks than that idiot jimmydean.
i’m a tits guy.
I’ll take an ugly face, big tits, nice ass and a std.
Jimmy Dauer

Thats why barstool pays me the big bucks
jimmyd ≤ dauer

Son of a bitch…we’ve been Dauer’d.
Hahha you guys are fucking haters and I love it.. fucking Hemmingway could post on this site and he would get torn apart.
i like hemmingway.
see user name.
Detox
took me about 10 minutes to find. you have to use character map, it’s under accesories.
jimmyd = dauer, both < manzo
Stallworth > Detox
stallworth =
Stallworth is taking commenting to another level.
Too bad that won’t make us forget about his lust for male triceps.
I don’t know how to make the blushing smiley face, but if I did, he’d be up there.
this post was good.. i even liked the tom hanks part of, where ever that honestly came from. but you did lose me when ya started talking about joba.
And i have to agree with sixten’s earlier comment.. and i guess the one about stallworth, he is putting a comment clinic on.
Working from home today, what else am I going to do? Work?
blah blah blah.. where’s the part where he starts screaming about 26 rings.. isn’t that how every pathetic yankee fam ends an arguement??
Weak… very weak…
Why hire someone who actually understands baseball when you can hire a typical Yankee douchefan.
Keep hating the Yankees everyone. Idiots. Glad that NY barstool finally has some balls with a Yankees blogger
not to totally defend jimmyd here but you idiots do know why Joba only went 4 innings right?? he’s on an innings count set by the front office that he cannot exceed before the post season…so even if he was perfect through 4 with 35 pitches thrown he was still coming out of the game
Holy shit, really? That changes everything. THANKS Jack, you sure cleared up a lot for us idiots – how did you find out that golden nugget of information anyway? Are you a Steinbrenner? A Waldman?
Everyone knows that, and anyone who knows anything about baseball should understand that a 4-inning, 0 BB, 1 ER start after giving up 18 BB & 25 ER in your prior 29 IP is not exactly reason to blog about how he’ll come through to cover for CC & Pettitte in the playoffs.
Again, the fact that a Yankee fan chose that as blog-worthy blatantly proves how little faith you all have in Joba and the rest of your staff.
your a savior jimmy d, the anti-yankee posts were starting to fucking bother me

I’m still trying to wrap my brain around this comment…
finally a Yankee blogger on a “sports” site – still no quality football talk but this is a start!!
welcome your gonna get shit on anyway cuz its mostly bloody rag boston fans here, but the excuses are the same so nothing to worry about – payroll (not realizing they have the top 2 payrolls that won WS – in their own definition “bought”), “recent” championships (they have their own sample size for that), etc..
lets be serious though with our bullpen out pitching Weaver and the Bridge to God secure (not to mention soon to be 8 players with 20HRs and 70 RBIs) do any starters really need more than 5 effective innings for this team? they all ahve the potential to be dominate but in reality they only need to be serviceable and keep this lineup within distance
good first post (but dont bring back the Joba debate)
(not realizing they have the top 2 payrolls that won WS – in their own definition “bought”
Thats only because the yankees haven’t WON shit in nearly a decade..Which by definition makes the yankees epic Failures…
At least bring something credible… Now if you want to talk about that joke of a Publicly Funded Billion Dollar band box you call the New Yankee Stadium, well then we can talk..
when the bombers won 3 out of 4 (3 straight) we heard the payroll nonsense – then the sox went out and spent more and finally won…but if we win the payroll will come back as a sorry excuse again, ignoring the obvious $ spent to win those 2 titles was my point
and sure you call call it failure but if your at the top every year your bound to experience both – 26-39 WS not so bad i’d say
and im sure you know that the yankees spent $800mil while the city kicked in $220mil in bonds – considering its bonded it makes sense the city would do that since there is no doubt a franchise that successfull will pay back the city with interest soon enough – ie: the city profits off the stadium (used to get $20mil a year in rent)not to mention the parks, etc
http://www.nycgovparks.org/sub_your_park/nyy_stadium/html/nyy_redevelopment.html
bandbox…i wonder how baseball would have reacted if the yanks new stadium had a short wall in left and people were bouncing flyouts off it for doubles? would people protest or call it unique?
The Yankees haven’t won shit in nearly a decade? Really? You guys are quite jaded after a few winning seasons. Here’s some facts, meat ..
AL Pennants:
2003 • 2001 • 2000
AL Division Titles:
2006 • 2005 • 2004 • 2003
2002 • 2001 • 2000
and a World Series in 2000 (and maybe in ‘09).
.. Act accordingly.
