The Joba Chamberlain Era begins in the Bronx today. The New York Yankees are calling up the fireballing phenom to join their beleaguered bullpen. The Yankees are hoping Chamberlain, who features a 97-99 mph fastball, can do for them what Francisco Rodriguez did for the Aneheim Angels in 2002.

Yankees Layoff Lefty Myers

The 38-year old side winder is in the final year of a two-year $2.4 million contract. He appeared in 55 games this year and had a bullpen best ERA of 2.66, but because lefties are hitting .312 off him this season and he is supposedly the lefty specialist he was let go. Myers' replacement wasn't immediately announced but according to Newsday Jim Brower, who played last...

Joba Chamberlain Innings Watch

We at Mop Up Duty have been following Joba the Hut since this past winter where he played in the Hawaii Winter League. Now that he is about to be or has been called up by the Yankees with the DFA of Mike Myers, I am concerned (actually hoping) about Joba getting injured because of the workload placed on the young pitcher.

Just How Much is A-Rod\

The baseball Alex Rodriguez hit for his 500th home run may be worth as much as $100,000. Rodriguez is the youngest player to ever reach this milestone, and is a certain future Hall of Famer. The Yankees media relations director so far has been unsuccessful in his negotiations to get the ball back for Alex. His first offer included memorabilia from high-profile Yankees. If the ball...

Joba the Hutt

The Yankees promoted 21-year old prized prospect Joba Chamberlain today, so let me educate you on who this masked man is....although, he's not wearing a mask. Imagine if he was wearing a mask though, that would be a large mask. You'd almost have to buy a large, wide belt and cut holes in it to get it around his melon. Whatever.

George Steinbrenner Set To Go Where No Overbearing, Excessively Spending, Baseball Owner Has Gone Before

It appears New York Yankees owner George Steinbrenner isn't placated with building the most dominant baseball franchise of the past 25 years in America. Astronaut Garrett Reisman will take dirt & banners from Yankee Stadium into space with him with the intention of delivering the sports memorabilia to an international space station. Personally, I'd prefer if the Yankees...

A-Rod hits 500

Alex Rodriguez hit 500…finally! Rodriguez added another chapter to his season long assault of the record books clubbing his 500th career homerun to become the youngest Major Leaguer to achieve the feat. Becoming the 22nd member to join the exclusive 500 homerun club at age 32 years and 8 days, A-Rod passed the previous record holder, Jimmie Foxx, by accomplishing the feat some 330 days earlier.

Mike Myers DFA?

Reports are circulating that Yankees lefty specialist Mike Myers will be designated for assignment today, and that he'll be replaced by a veteran right-hander from Triple A. Huh?

K-Rod Won't Negotiate During Season
