Baseball Primer Newsblog— The Best News Links from the Baseball Newsstand
Sunday, May 11, 2008
(Attention, major self-serving, name dropping spot forthcoming) Hanging with Klap (and Belth, and the Lederer’s and Camillo the hairy-armed waiter) the other night he had mentioned Mount Gossage might be spewing…so here tis.
But Goose always has hated showboaters, past and especially present day, so when Dellucci told reporters he thought Chamberlain’s response was immature and “bush,” Gossage didn’t hesitate to say, “I’m on Dellucci’s side.
“That’s just not the Yankee way, what Joba did. Let everyone else do that stuff, but not a Yankee,” Gossage said by telephone on Saturday. “What I don’t understand is, the kid’s got the greatest mentor in the world in Mariano [Rivera]. He’s one of the leaders of the team, so you’d think it wouldn’t happen on that team.
“But there’s no one to pass the torch anymore, no one to teach the young kids how to act. The Mets did a lot of that [celebrating] last year, and look how it came back to haunt them.”

1. Sean McNally Posted: May 11, 2008 at 03:19 PM (#2776593)That said, I don't much go for elaborate self-congratulations either but I don't think the Mets' celebrations caused them to cough up a big lead.
you mean like sparky lyle pooping on birthday cakes? real grown up. sure guys they were all like stone face out there pitching and hitting
or reggie jackson doing bout anything to get face?
actually, it would be kewl to see what things would be like if you could put reggie 1977 right now as a yankee the way tv/blogs/media are
i mean i know people prefer stuff like what if the nazis won type plots, but reggie + modern media is a LOT more interesting to me
Shaughnessy is a fanboy of the Red Sox? That's like saying kevin's a fanboy of steroids.
Not that Joba knows much about rock-n-roll.
yet another example of how MLB's inability to attract African-Americans is hurting the game
And it's gotten worse since they eliminated the income stream he was expecting for continued reissues of Curse of the Bambino. Currently number 956,624 in sales on Amazon. His attempt to cash in on the success, Reversing the Curse was a dog from the beginning and now sits at #580,210 in sales.
I think you're too hard on Klap, definitely one of the better columnists in New York. Besides, he's more of a Met guy, always talking about bringing back the "glory of the 80's", as if it can be smuggled across city lines under the cover of night.
What annoys me the most is that his response to the criticism is,"that's just the way I am," as if that's a valid excuse to act like a jackass. Yes, it's the way that you are, and the way that you are is bush as hell. He's lucky he pitches in the AL or he'd get drilled until he learns to act like a professional.
Not if he's pitching relief he won't.
So why don't they have a go at K Rod?
I don't think anyone begrudges that, I think the claim is that Joba does this after every strikeout, no matter how inconsequential?
Which is not true, of course.
One might argue that what was smuggled under the cover of night led to the early downfall of the '80's mets...
I think, given the personal backdrop regarding Delucci specifically and the Indians generally going back to last year, that this was a situation that measured above "inconsequential." My guess is that Chamberlain will be more low key in subsequent appearances, but continue to have the odd outburst at predictable moments (e.g. against Boston, following poor outings, etc.). I do get the sense that he is working on toning it down, generally.
Maybe Joba's just offended by the team's mascot and this is his way of showing that.
