E-MAIL FROM TAMPA

Mariano Rivera playfully let Joba Chamberlain know he's still a rookie yesterday morning. Their lockers are beside one another, and Chamberlain was sitting in his chair, partly in front of Rivera's locker. Rivera returned and said, "There's a line here, buddy," then pointed at Chamberlain and crowed: "Guess who's going to be next to me at Yankee Stadium? Where [Luis] Vizcaino's locker was last year." When Chamberlain asked who had decided that, Rivera said: "It's the authority, it's the law," then pointed to Chamberlain and said, "It's going to be a long season for you, buddy." (link)
