Joba Rules

As I wrote HERE last year, I've never thought Joba's fist pumping to be personal in a "fuck you!" kinda way; more of a "holy shit!" excited way. Course, I'm a Yankees fan, so I see it through those glasses. I do think Aubrey Huff's fist-pumping WAS personal to Joba (does it do it with every dinger he hits? no.) O's fans will say "fuck you, good for Joba good for Aubrey," but I do believe the two have to be put in context. As I said - one personal, one not.

All that said, if neither one of them actually gives a shit and Aubrey is having some fun, there's probably plenty of room for more fun like that in a sport choking with political correctness and age-old codes determined to deluge the game with even more boredom. I've always wondered why when asked about an opposing player who obviously is a close friend, a player always gives the stock "he's blah blah blah" aswer instead of having fun, like"Him? oh, he sucks. And is gay." Lighten up Francis!
