Don't give them any ideas.

As to the Joba story, I hate the Yankee uniform, I hate the team as a team, simply because it's always been like that. But for each individual person, as to Joba, I think he's going to be one of the greatest pitchers this game has seen, and I think that what he had to overcome and how he finally overcame it, is a very touching story. I'd relate but I'd just get a "lulz" from TheKilo. But I'm glad Harlan got to see his sone play, and hopefully he'll see him play for a long time.

On a side note, is it just me or does Joba have a slight facial resemblence to Babe Ruth? If not full body, Joba's a big guy.
