by Eamonn Brennan Filed under: Yankees , AL East , MLB Media Watch Since his rise to fame last year, Joba Chamberlain 's personal story is something of minor legend. Raised largely by his father, who suffered through polio and a variety of other obstacles, Joba's tale is one of the power of the fathers and sons to thrive under adversity. Thanks to his fastball, Joba's famous and soon-to-be-rich, and Gary Smith, Sports Illustrated's legendary profile-writer, chronicled the whole thing last year . Missing in that story is what happened to Joba's mother. Colleen Kenney of the Lincoln Journal Star found Jackie Standley -- a former drug and alcohol addict -- and the resulting story is pretty unsettling: The reporter Googles "Joba Chamberlain," and they figure out together that what she'd read online was a Wikipedia entry, one that got other facts wrong, too. But then they read other profiles of him from major newspaper sites, and most of them repeat the story that Harlan raised Joba alone. "My heart is pounding in my chest, dude. I don't need it. This is worse than drugs. This is going to give me a heart attack. No. I wasn't the greatest mother. But in the bad choices I made, I in turn made good choices. And one was for them to be with their dad a lot." She wants them to give her yet another chance. The end result is a portrait of a woman who seems both loving (she has a shrine to her son with both clippings and personal artifacts) an ...
Brian Cashman revealed last night that, as far as Joba Chamberlain is concerned, 2009 will look a lot like '08. So he'll begin in the bullpen and transition to the rotation around June. Again. We see what the Yankees are doing, but we don't agree with it. They place inning limits on their pitchers for a reason - they don't want them throwing 200 innings and then breaking down the next year. But what good does it do the Yankees - the team trying to make the playoffs - if it takes him three or four years of bouncing back and forth between the bullpen and the rotation before finally reaching 200 innings? If he's not ready to be a full-fledged major-leaguer, which is what the Yankees essentially are saying, then he shouldn't be here. If you're going to restrict a pitcher like this year after year, it's a legitimate to wonder whether it's even worth bringing him up. Maybe it's better to take care of this process in the minors. And when you think he can play with the big boys, with no seatbelt, then it's time to call him up. Because here's the scary part: this won't end in 2009. Let's say Joba finishes this season with 100 innings. The Yankees will probably place his '09 inning limit somewhere around 140. What are the chances he actually hits that number? Maybe 70 percent? What happens if he feels a twinge in his shoulder next May and it turns out to be nothing, but they decide to play it safe - because he's Joba! - and they DL him for ...
That's what one Jersey man did. Here's an excerpt from The Coaster , a central Monmouth County area... Ryan Ward, 29, was reported to Belmar Police Aug. 1 after telling workers at Belmar Bagels that he was the famed pitcher and accepting free food from girls working at the shop. According to Captain Thomas Palmisano, Ward showed the girls a picture from a newspaper of Chamberlain and said he was the pitcher. “The girls asked for his autograph and gave him free food,” Palmisano said. Ward, pretending he was Chamberlain, told the girls not to tell anybody he was in town. “He must look close enough because he’s been pulling this off,” Palmisano added, but said police do not have Ward’s picture. Palmisano said similar stories about Ward have been reported in Spring Lake and other towns, including the Sunrise Deli in Lake Como. “He’s been thrown out of bars,” he said. ...
