In Monday's Yankees - Indians game, Kelly Shoppach popped up a bunt and Joba Chamberlain made a diving catch coming off the mound, then turned and fired to second to complete the double play. See for yourself.

Dear Joba,
A letter from Yankees fans to Joba
Chamberlain. They think Joba can be Clemens without the backne, pending
federal investigation, and overall d**kishness.
JOBA CHAMBERLAIN IS ATHLETIC
I had a conversation with Rob Iracane about why I hate baseball highlights–they’re exactly the same. Here’s a diving play by the shortstop. Here’s an outfielder robbing a home run. Here’s a guy doing cocaine… You get the idea. But watching someone as big as Joba Chamberlain sprint off the mound and dive for a [...]
Joba is Doing Just Fine as a Starter Thanks
Last night Joba Chamberlain contributed the longest start of his career. In the process he gave up two runs on just four hits while striking out five. It was one of Joba's best starts of his career and was much needed coming off one poor start which was proceeded by an early exit thanks to a liner off the knee. In return it should hush some of the critis, ie. Mike Francessa...
Joba Chamberlain’s Athletic Abilities Are Unrivaled
The name Joba Chamberlain is a sacred one to Yankees fans and members of the New York media, who occasionally see the him as some sort of pitching Messiah (when he’s pitching well).

Does Joba have a shoulder problem?
Over on Baseball Prospectus John Perrotto has a weekend roundup column (membership required) and in this week's he mentions something troubling about Joba Chamberlain (hat-tip to River Ave. Blues):The Yankees couldn’t move right-hander Joba Chamberlain from the rotation back to the bullpen if they wanted to at this time, because shoulder problems make it too difficult for him...
Get Outta Town…. Tribe Heads Up North After Loss to New York
The bugs were back in town, just in time to rattle Yankees starter Joba Chamberlain. Only they didn’t ”bug” him at all. In fact Joba went deeper into a start than he ever has before. His eight innings of work made the Indians bats go silent, as they lost the series finale to New York 5-2. [...]
Another Yankees Bullpen Plan
It’s June 1st and we are no closer to figuring out the Yankees bullpen configuration than we were back in April. Since Joba Chamberlain will not be transitioning to the bullpen what should the Yankees do? Obviously a trade can be made, but it’s way too early to speculate on that front. The Yankees bullpen [...]
Eating Crow, Pittsburgh, A New Record.
- The story Monday night was that the Yankees set the team record for errorless games at 18. No, the story was Joba Chamberlain, but for a team that played a lot of slow pitch softball the last five seasons this should be a welcome change to the fan base. Defense and Pitching will always [...]

Joba Pitches the Eighth...And Has the Best Start of His Career (postgame notes 1 June 2009)
Guys like Mike Francesca should be forced to sit down and watch today's game again and again and again (but preferably only the parts where Joba is pitching, and not when the Yankees had the bases loaded in the 6th and didn't score).They should be forced to watch Joba pitch efficiently, play defense and go eight innings without over exerting himself or getting distracted...
