Hall of Famer Goose Gossage says Joba Chamberlain shouldn't celebrate big strikeouts.
He's got a point. Wreckless displays of emotion ruin the game for us purists.
If this doesn't stop, you know what'll happen? Soon, it won't be just pumping the fist. It'll be tearing off the jersey.
By then, everybody will be showing too much disgusting emotion.
Like wedding singers.
And TV newsmen, after filing their reports.
After each Yankee victory, Joe Girardi's wife will go wild.
Sportswriters like Pete Abraham will be jumping for joy after sculpting the perfect "lede."
Redsock fans won't hold back their feelings about Julio Lugo.
Woe unto the rock 'n roll band that gets its fans too "hopped up."
Patriots will become ecstatic when seeing George W. Bush.
Let's just hope that Joba can find the right model to be a major league pitcher.
Goose would retire early in the night and celebrate privately by rubbing each hanging nib of his Fu Manchu in between his thumb and index finger... and moan in delight.
