Joba Chamberlain invited to take part in All-Star Home Run Derby

Breaking _ Joe Girardi may have yet another familiar game-face on his AL all-star roster!

Sources tell IT IS HIGH that Joba Chamberlain will secure the coveted final slot as Home Run Derby pitcher.

Chamberlain said he is honored to be considered for such a critical role in the marketing of MLB media swag. If selected, he will imagine each pitch being thrown with the bases are loaded in a one-run game.

Clear the airplane flight patterns over Anaheim! Joba may be coming to town.

  1. OK, we gotta gotta gotta trade somebody and get a bullpen stud. Thank God we didn't trade for Cliff Lee, because we'd be screwed: Unless he pitched complete games, we'd lose everything.

    If we're going to trade Montero -- and apparently, we're going to trade Montero -- it should be for 26 year old closer.

  2. Joba should be job-less. His pitches are as straight as the crisp brim on his cap. I should add that his problems seem to stem from between his ears--he's a head case and can't be trusted. He and J. Rocker, Pappelbon, "Wild Thing" Williams and Rob Dibble should form a branch of Mensa. I nominate Armondo Benitez to helm that brain trust.

    Never seen a guy go from folk hero to ridiculed zero so quickly. Joba? Joblah! Mr. Chamberlain, thanks again for ruining a perfectly good evening. You done shot it all to hell.

  3. An excellent idea putting Joba in the derby. No pressure to keep balls in the park. Brilliant.

  4. I disagree--it's a terrible idea. Having Joba pitch a home run derby means that the contest may never end until each batter physically depletes themselves from crushing tape-measure dinger after colossal dinger. I fear for the general health of all batters: they might wear themselves to emaciated frazzles as each round produces 90-100 homers grooved from Joba's over-hyped arm. Has anyone ever died from oxygen debt on a ballfield? An answer may be in the offing.

  5. Chamberlain's the only guy who could take that job away from Chan Homer Park.
