Chamberlain Done

The Yankee let Joba Chamberlain throw 78 pitches, which is good for 4 1/3 innings. He leaves having allowed three runs, two earned. His big mistake of the game was trying to strike out Guillen with a slider. Chamberlain hung the pitch and Guillen hammered it into the leftfield seats on a line drive. The Royals lead 3-2 in the middle of the fifth.

Update: Joey Gathright just made his third great catch of the game. The Yankees score a run in the bottom of the fifth, but Gathright's great plays have kept the Royals in this game. Two were on ball going back over his head, and and the last on a line drive to short centerfield on which he might have injured himself.

Much better outing. And Joey Gaithwright has been amazing with CF defense today. Grr.

When are the Brothers Steinbrenner going to realize that Joba is not a starter. Reinstate the Joba Rules, and send this guy back to the pen.
Wake up Hanky.

And Jose Veras pitched the 8th: 1 hit, 2 Ks. Apparently someone other than Joba can pitch that inning.

Joey Gathright is just a pleasure to watch in CF, even when he's robbing my team.

Any word on Gathrights shoulder? He dove to rob a it and it looked pretty bad. He was holding his arm like he dislocated his left shoulder.

Damon is crackalacking. I'm with buying - it's not that I think Joba can't be a starter but I think he'd be a better closer and Rivera's 38 and signed for 3 more years.
