The matter of alleged Joba Chamberlain wannabe Ryan Ward has been covered in this space previously, but until Mr. Ward took the opportunity to address his doppelgänger’s recent DUI arrest, I was unaware Mr. Ward had a MySpace profile under the handle, “Joba The Nut”. Rather than gloat over Chamberlain’s legal woes, I would expect Ward to openly root for a strong 2009 season for the Yankee hurler. After all, there’s gonna be little demand for a Joba lookalike at supermarket openings and bachelorette parties if the real thing drinks & drives his way out of the big leagues.
I want to officially propose the chant D-U-I, D-U-I, D-U-I for games at Fenway.
