JOBA DOWN AND OUT

Dumb Move Joba

Tough break for the Yankees and us fans. Joba Chamberlain suffered an open dislocation of his right ankle while jumping on a trampoline with his son for some strange reason. He had surgery last night and will most likely be done for the year.  Or maybe his career in Pinstripes.

What were you thinking Joba?  Just when you were looking good!  If you are suppose to play basketball do you think a trampoline is OK?  I am just dumbfounded!
