I Hate Joba Chamberlain


Let me just start by saying I’ve never seen Joba Chamberlain throw one pitch live. And by live I mean on TV. In fact, I’ve probably only seen 5 or 6 highlights of him total. Therefore it’s kind of surprising that he has already become my most despised player in Major League Baseball. Somehow I hate this guy more than Arod. That’s quite a statement for a guy I didn’t even know existed two weeks ago. I just hate his whole demeanor. I hate how his name is Joba and how he actually kind of looks like Jaba the Hut. I hate the way he celebrates every two seconds. I hate the way that Yankee fans have embraced him. The whole thing kind of reminds me of when Jeremy Shockey broke onto the scene and suddenly he was the hottest thing since sliced bread. Yeah, maybe this kid is going to be pretty good. Maybe. But let’s make him pitch more than 5 times before everybody sucks his dick okay? And I’m already sick of the Joba Chamberlain sob story even though I haven’t heard it yet. Just as an FYI, he grew up on an Indian Reservation and was raised by his divorced father who was stricken to a wheelchair because of polio. Dude, cry me a river. I’d give my left nut to grow up on an Indian reservation so I could cash in on all this casino bullshit. And sure Polio is a rough break, but it’s not like Jaba had it. It was his dad. My 3rd cousin’s best friend had polio. You don’t hear me crying about it. So spare me the theatrics and do me a favor and blow out a shoulder. Now that would be poetic justice.
