... and River Ave Blues would both like to know why all the fuss about Joba’s fist pump. Seriously, a fist-pump controversy? That seems a bit much, even to this Boston fan. Try getting yourselves a shortstop on pace for 45 errors on the season, then tell me about controversy. I would love to hear the ululating in New York if Julio Lugo played for the Yankees.

Joba Taking Heat in the Bronx Zoo

... when Cleveland's David Dellucci hit a pinch-hit three-run homer to give Cleveland a 5-2 win over the Yankees.  It was Joba's first regular season blown save, and only the second of his major league career, with the other one being the infamous "bug" game against the same Cleveland Indians. Fast forward a couple of nights later, and Joba strikes out Dellucci to end the eighth inning.  Joba pumped his fist three times and yelled into the Yankee dugout...and Dellucci took offense. And of course, in the center of the news media universe, ...

Another May return for a popular Yankee?

mysportsrumors posted 5/9/2008 from mysportsrumors.com

It’s now the month of May, the New York Yankees are struggling (although not as bad as last year), so does that mean a blast from the past be returning for another stint?
