Joba!!!

Sign Joba Chamberlain up for the infield! My goodness, what a play!

(I hope it's up on YouTube, but for those of who didn't stay late after work to watch the game, he just dove off the mound, laid out and snared a pop-up two inches from the turf.)

On the other hand, Joba's pitching has had some issues lately. He is fantastic most innings, then getting in jams in the others. Bottom line, he uses tons of pitches to try to piece together a quality start. Tons of pitches=put him in the bullpen. Let him provide two innings a night and not use up his arm where Chien-Ming Wang can work.

And what is up with random creatures invading whenever Joba pitches in Cleveland? Bugs in the 2007 playoffs, seagulls chilling with the outfielders today. My, oh, my.

Maybe there's something in the air...and, if so, could it have gotten into the nostrils of whoever keeps making the calls at first?
