Joba sounds like a real jerk.

[Ray McKigney]

JC's an idiot. Why not just wait until they both get back into the clubhouse to talk about it? Who cares anyway? Anything that will possibly cause animosity between the Yankees players and make them lose as much as possible, I'm all for it.

[Broad Street]

After reading the article, it sounds like Rivera was the dick first. Joba could have handled it better yes, but so could Rivera. And since Rivera is the veteran star, he probably should have said it less dick-like.

With Jeter and ARod out and the Yanks winning, the NY media are desperate for stories.

JC is a ****

Whether you have a legitimate issue with him or not, you never go public.  Never go full retard.

this is a really good decision on joba's part, pick a fight with the most beloved yankee of the last 20 years, next to jeter. really smart. there is no way this could go bad for you in a small media market like new york

 

they might run him outta town, if this builds any momentum.

Exactly. However, "retard" is an offensive word. Please use more discretion. Thank you.

Thick skin is a good thing.  I recommend it. 

 

That way you aren't constantly upset by every little thing people do.

[HaloMagic]

He's just trolling.

[Eric]

This reads like an episode of "Real Desperate Housewives of the Yankees Bullpen". That must have been an epically boring 5 minute interview given by Rivera if this was what they decided to write about instead.

[Lhalo]

Just a hunch, but I think Yankees fans will take Mo's side on this.

So Joba, you didn't get to see you family when you were on the DL all last season? Maybe you would see you mom more if she wasn't in jail for selling crystal meth....

[bucbrett]

Listen guys, it's Mother's Day weekend. Maybe Joba's mom is out after that sentence for dealing meth and he was just excited to see her.

[NJHalo]

Totally blown out of proportion. Most of the papers around here are not even talking about it.

Mariano has been nothing but class from day 1. Read up on what he is doing on his farewell tour, and your opinion of him will go way up.

Joba has been a good guy for a while now. He grew up, and "gets it".

[The Ghost of Bob Starr]

JC is a dick.

Rivera is a baseball legend.

[Lou]

Farewell tours are stupid.

[Sully151]

Farewell tours are stupid.

I saw the Rolling Stones Farewell Tour in 89.

[bucbrett]

Dammit I was 7 minutes late on the Joba's mom meth joke. Itchy trigger finger.

[Grigori]

Joba has the weight advantage, but I'd go with Rivera even if he is older. Rivera is still tough as nails. I think he'd shower the slow-fisted Joba with so many quick punches to the face that Joba would not be able to get a lick in. Rivera has also shown on the field he has mental strength and resilience that would help him take a blow or two and bounce back if Joba got lucky.  Joba would just start crying and run away at the slightest sign of pain like he has his entire career.

In 89 they had already stuck around too long

Kieth Richards still being alive might be the greatest mystery of my lifetime.

 

 

At heart, the Stones are and always have been a blues band.  Muddy Waters, BB King, John Lee Hooker, Chuck Berry. . all played live well into to old age and since they were the Stones inspiration from the start, it's no surprise they keep chugging along.  Aside from it costs these days to see them, I see it as a good thing.

 

 

Oh, and Joba is a failure and a D-bag. .  I expect we'll see him in an Angel uniform next season.

If this situation escalates Rivera might find out what happens when you find a stranger in the Alps.

i have 3 siblings with down syndrome. i use the word retarded sometimes. i don't believe it's anywhere near as derogatory as n***er or the like, but i'll admit to using language to inflame people at times.

Joba said he's had it with these monkey-fighting snakes on this Monday to Friday plane.
