Got news for you, when you do something really good, thats great, people will notice, and mangmnt is paying you to do that very thing. I expect you to do good things. Slapping the coaches hand or being slapped by a coach as you rond a base is one thing. A quarter back running to shake a hand is one thing. The fist pump is minor as celebration for doing your job goes. Hitters pulling an imaginary string, (horizontal fist pump i guess) has been around a long time. I just think all sport is better served when individual celebration for doing a job you are way overpaid to do, is something that should be shared on the bench, dugout or lockeroom. I can easily live with jobas pump, maybe in time as things go, he will find it less necessary for himself. Blame it on youthfull exhuberation if you want, that is likely true. But anytime you sign a contract to play a silly game for hundreds of thousand or millions, ya aint a youth no more. jmo Personally, I don’t like individual celebration in any sport.

Delucci's criticism is idiotic considering how his teammate and future Yankee CC Sabathia was acting last week. I fele the same way about Joba as I do towards end zone celebrations.. you don't like it, don't let it happen. I don't know about the rest of you, but I've about had it with the wretched defense this team plays. Abreu, Damon, Matsui, Diambi, Duncan and Betemit... how many F$#@%ing DH types does one team need?

I have said before I am not Klapisch fan. That articel just re-confirms my feelings. Rainout today would allow us to skip Igaawa next time around which is just fine with me. And what exactly is the Yankee way that is just a bnuch of hogwash as fa as I am concerned. Also for the person who said that it is not Joe G's way. He as much said that on his weekly FAN segment but he also said that that is how JOba ishe knows what is in his heart and he is not trying to show anyone up and if hefelt that it was getting to that point he would saysomething.

I can see Gossage disagreeing with what Joba did, he has every right to his opinions, but does he have to openly bash Joba to a reporter?" good point. behind closed doors would be the yankee way. the problem is that goose only spent about a fourth of his career with the yankees. with all due respect to a great pitcher goose isn't really the one to be saying how the yankees do it. the fact he's now in the hall of fame and that his number isn't retired shows he wasn't a yankee for long enough. goose could voice his opinion as a hall of famer about joba and you have to listen, but i don't think goose is qualified to speak for the yankees like guidry, mattingly,or yogi. it would be interesting to hear what yogi says about it,since it's interesting to hear what he thinks about anything. i don't have a problem with what joba does, but i do think he'll outgrow it. it takes an awful lot of young energy to get that excited. “Is it then the Yankee way to openly turn on one of your own like that?
