“If he wants to yell and scream after a strikeout and dance around the mound, that’s what gets him going,” Dellucci said. “My home run was in a much bigger situation, a much more key part of the game, but I didn’t dance around and scream.”
Look at the tape of this if you haven't already. Dellucci's absolutely right - Joba is such a clown. If he wants to play that way, fine - every guy who drives in a run off of him gets to do the same thing, no matter what the score or situation is. Dellucci just put his head down and ran around the bases when he owned Joba the night before, but this guy acts like he just won the world series by striking Dellucci out the next day in a 6-3 game with no one on base? Please. |

Joba is a young player who is getting a big head due to his little bit of success.
And in his defense, he only gets to pitch and inning every couple of days or so because the Yankees are keeping him in diapers. |

| The guy was pumped up about coming back with a good outing. He only gets to pitch every other day or so and he was pumped up at himself. If he had said something to Delucci I could see your point. A lot of these relievers get into this state of psychoness and that is the way they are. There are quite a few pitchers that pump fists all the time. I don't see anything wrong with emotion. |

OK, so every guy who drives in a run off the Yankees gets to do the same thing, no matter what the score or situation is, with no consequences. Fair is fair. I'm sure it'll go over real with Girardi when some guy who's played in 38 games in the bigs knocks in a run off the Yankees, turning a 7-1 game into an 8-1 game, and proceeds to stand on first base, gyrate, and scream. |

Funny how a guy with Papelbon as his avatar would even comment on this, Paps is even MORE over the top...
and yes, I know, he has a World Series ring, but he does it in the regular season as well and is much more animated.
Red Sox fans can keep quiet on this one, you have a closer just as bad with the antics and a slugger who is the all-time worst.
It seems to be the new wave, most of these young guys are doing shit like this, he shouldn't be doing it but if his emotions get that crazed, gotta let it out somehow I guess. |

with that point, everyone who strikes out Manny should stand on the mound with their arms up for 5 mins, even if the other team is coming on the field. |

If Delluci hit that homer in Cleveland, you bet your god damn ass there would have been some sort of show either by him or his team. You know damn well there would be a curtain call as well.
Stop being little bitches. We all cry when our guys don't show emotion, but when they do they get crucified.

| IIRC, management has already told Joba to tone it down. He's intense, fine, I give him that. But in the long run, it's going to end up hurting him as it's already been said more than once that batters feel like they're being shown up by him. |
|
|

Jose Reyes used to celebrate and have fun playing.
Then he got told to stop.
Now Jose Reyes sucks.
They better not say a word to Joba. |

They wouldn't be shown up if they hit him, right? Maybe they should just be pissed at themselves for not doing their jobs. ;)
Sorry, but I think I might be gay for Joba. And I don't mind admitting it. If BadHandHankey can be gay for Matsui, then I might be gay for Joba.
You're gay for Ortiz, right? |

I don't mind it, but I think Manny goes over the line to the point I'm surprised teams don't do something about it.
But me just being a spectator, that's their business. |

You need to explain to me how is popping your head out of the dugout and tipping your cap to the fans after hitting a game-changing home run is the same thing as dancing, hooting and hollering like a madman after striking someone out with no one on base and your team leading by 3 runs. Maybe I'm just dense.
By the way, I'm not a Sox fan. Sorry. |

Kind of like how Dellucci "did his job" on Tuesday night, but was annoyed at Joba's stupid display on Thursday? |
|

I think Joba needs to tone it down... it's David Dellucci for crying out loud.
Joba needs to learn you are going to give up some homeruns once in a while. |

I think you have to sort of judge it on a situation-by-situation basis. If Joba wants to react that way in a playoff game, I have no problem with it whatsoever. But in an early May game with a 3-run lead? Give me a break. |

I don't think he would have done it if it was anyone else in the lineup. I just think he was overly excited because it was Delucci. Probably a little extra incentive to get the guy that got you the night before.
I think to it has to do with a team you dislike. I remember years ago St Louis was down 8 to Chicago and Pujols hit a solo shot. After practically walking to 1B he then crosses home and puts his finger to his mouth and tells the crowd to be quiet. I have hated him ever since. On the flip side Zambrano does stuff all the time and I love him for it. |

| I don't have a problem with pitchers showing emotion, but striking out Dellucci with nobody on base in a 6-3 game and to get that pumped up is stupid. Celebrate when you finish a game or get out of a big jam, but not in this type of situation. Papelbon goes crazy too, but at least he finishes the game. |
|
|
| StumpMerrill |
| I love how this is all of a sudden an issue when pitchers have been acting like this for years and Sox fans have had pedro and now papelbon showing up opposing hitters but it's ok for them and not for Joba. I wish he wouldn't do it, I wish all pitchers wouldn't showm up hitters and I wish hitters wouldn't show up pitchers but it's part of the game today and to single out Joba isn't right. |

This is just a moronic thread...God forbid the guy shows a little emotion. It wasn't directed at Delucci or even in the direction of Clevelands bench. CC Sabathia does the same thing after every fucking inning, but no one starts a thread about that.

So no one will say anything if Manny stands and watches a ball leave the park or if Papelbon gets riled up after closing out a game. Maybe you have said nothing but alot of your fellow fans on here have posted differently. |

Why wouldn't I comment on this? I have no problem acknowledging that Papelbon pounds his glove, and points at Varitek. But more times than not, that is in the 9th inning and the game has just ended.
And exactly how much more over the top is Papelbon? I haven't seen him kick up one leg and dance around in a 360 like Joba does while pumping his fist....in the 8th inning mind you. |

I really don't see it as a difference. Rivera closes games and never does anything.
It's comparing pitchers and their reactions to strikeouts. |

I think you are reaching a bit saying Papelbon does it before the 3rd out. I'll admit that he does go in the game pretty jacked up and gets animated finishing a game. Maybe you are thinking about the playoffs.
But think about Eckersley in his day. He used to pretend to fire a 6-shooter or something towards homeplate after a K.
And the argument about the 8th vs. the 9th inning is relevant. Joba is spinning and yelling when the game is not even over yet. |

Nope, they play 9 innings in MLB.
And for the record, this doesn't bother me at all what these players do. I understand the emotion tied into sports.
The one thing that is silly is guys in the NFL dancing or standing over someone when they make a routine tackle. |

http://rds.yahoo.com/ _ylt=A0geu9m_...ges/x1148172832
and what Manny does at the plate is far worse than anything Joba or papelbon does on the mound but that's ok of course b/c he is a Sox player.

This is why you are a fucking moron! This thread was NOT STARTED BY A BOSTON FAN!! It became a Red Sox/Yankees bitch thread because YANKEE fans started to justify it by comparing it to Pappelbon and Manny. That is the only fucking way the Yankee fans can justify it!
Why not say either you are for it, and they should ALL do whatever the fuck they want. Or they should ALL tone it down a notch.
That is why you are a fucking joke. You are part of the problem, go back and look at your posts! |

The point is, you either have a problem with any player who does it, or none.
I used the Red Sox players as an example cause they are arguably the two biggest offenders.
If they played for the Blue Jays instead of the Red Sox I would mention them, just happens to be Boston players by chance. |

i get douche chills sometimes when manny celebrates a meaningless home run. i dont know how he isnt thrown at more often. most of the time he gets a pass because pitchers realize theres not much going on upstairs
imo, a little celebration is fine when it's warranted. striking someone out with a 3 run lead and nobody on base in the 8th isnt it. |

from April 12, 2008(I wonder if he did this last yera when ARod hit that homer off him?), and this wasn't even to end the game- just like Joba. You Sox fans are hypocrites.

Let's take a look at this "hard evidence." Your first clip was him closing out a game. Your second link was a picture of this situation, as described in that article:
"The Red Sox reliever struck out Rodriguez on three pitches with the potential go-ahead run on base."
Explain to me how either example is even a little bit comparable to this particular Joba situation, which was (i) in the EIGHTH inning; (ii) with NOBODY on base; (iii) in a THREE-RUN game; (iv) against not a future Hall of Famer like ARod, but David Dellucci.
p.s. - for the zillionth time, I started this thread and I am NOT a Sox fan. |

does anyone here play baseball or softball? dont you get fucking pumped up after a big out anytime during the game? its all about adrenaline. i played ball all my life, and even if its in the beer league on sunday mornings or lazy afternoons, when a big play happens, you get excited. now, imagine playing in front of 50,000 people. it must multiply your reaction 20 fold.
im not saying that i justify joba's reaction, and yeah, i hate it when manny flys around the bases, but thats probably because im a yankee fan. im generally about keeping my composure, and it actually pisses me off more when i see tiger fist pump after sinking a putt. but what do i know, im not a professional athlete. i just post on a message board from time to time |

| Dellucci is dead on here. It is a double standard as it is right now. If you stare down your home run, the pitcher will put one between your shoulder blades your next at bat. If they are going to showboat like that, then they need to respect the batter to do the same thing without retaliating or crying about it. Let everyone do it or let nobody do it. |

Why not say either you are for it, and they should ALL do whatever the fuck they want. Or they should ALL tone it down a notch.
That is why you are a fucking joke. You are part of the problem, go back and look at your posts! |
Who cares who started the thread? The facts are you, as always, jumped on the Boston fans backs to attack the Yankees like you always do(w/ the Yanks and Jets).

They both compare b/c he went nuts after he recorded outs, the first situation was a game ender but the 2nd was the bottom of the 8th inning. It's not comparable when Joba pitches the 8th and when Papaelbon pitches the 8th? Who cares who it was against? Joba just got taken deep 2 nights earlier and was getting back on the horse. AGAIN, I don't like the extra celebrtaions but why does Joba get attacked while players that have been doing it for years do not? |

No, for the reasons I specifically enumerated. In your example, Papelbon struck out the best hitter in baseball with the go-ahead run on base. Joba struck out a scrub with nobody on base, leading by 3 runs. Night and day. |

Joba's 8th is Pap's 9th.
Fact is, all us haters agree that not only is there not a better closer then Mariano Rivera the past 10+ years, there is also no one who closes with such class and respect for the hitters and their team as Mo. AGREE? |

I agree with you, and it only further illustrates what a clown Joba is on the mound. |

Thanks for proving your stupidity for all to see! Where did I attack the Yankees? I would love to see it!
Now lets see you back up your dumb statement with some facts....
Ill wait mr spin boy :hw: |

This doesn't even deserve a response, you post more about the Yankees and Jets than you do about the Mets and Dolphins. Just from the 1st page of your post history(post from 5/4-5/11) you posted in Yankee topics 40 times, in Mets topics 17 times, in Jets topics 11 times and didn't have a single post about your "beloved" Miami Dolphins.
You make this too easy for me, is there someone on this board who can present a challenge? I am bored w/ these amateurs. |

So I take it you can not find anything in this thread to back up that I "attacked the Yankees"..
If you can, I would love to see it.
Ill wait :hw: |

This isn't a Yanks-Sox discussion it's a discussion btw a delusional Met fan and a Yankee fan, a guy who posts more about the Yankees than he does the Mets(and more about the jets than he does the dolphins who he claimes he roots for). he asked me to find examples for him and in about 30 secs I had multiple examples but he'll come back w/ some excuse and start the namecalling again. It's what he does. |

All Mets fans pile on the Yankees. They are in the Yankees shadow and now that they have major problems its just that much easier to rag on them. Nuge posts more about the Sox in the Yankees thread than he does his own team.Yankee fans talked too much shit during their time at the top and now its coming back to bite them. After the 2004 alcs 3 people out of my 10 man crew showed up at the jobsite the next day because they knew I was going to light them up. You root for the most hated team in baseball. If your not a fan you fucking hate them theres no middle ground. |

| Oh, "in this thread" :lol: It's all about the Yankees w/ you, whether it's the team or the fans. if only you cared as much about the Mets as you do the Yankees(and the the dolphins as much as you care about the Jets). |

| people are so stupid..in that same series when c.c. sabathia struck out 2 in a row he went crazy. he was disrespectful...staring in at the hitter after k'ing him....cmon..at least joba doesn't do it directly at the player. he des it cause he is excited for himself...when they showed it on sportscenter they glorified it. "oh c.c. is so pumped cause he is pitching so well." well wang pitched better and didn't do any of that...all the yankee haters can fuck off...if he was on any team besides the yankees, people would love him doing his "antics"....once again, fuck off yankee haters. |
