Sox 5 for 5, but what is Chamberlain's deal...?

With tonight's win at Yankee Stadium, the Red Sox have now won all five contests against the Yankees this year.

More importantly, though, what is the deal with Joba Chamberlain? If he thinks he's developing a reputation as somebody who guys are scared to hit against, he's wrong. Throwing at Jason Bay, after he had previously homered, was blatant and bush league. If he thinks it will help to fire up his team, he's wrong again. Simply stated: if you are not motivated to play in the Red Sox/Yankees rivalry as soon as you walk onto the field, you shouldn't be wearing the Red and Blue or the Pinstripes. The Yankees don't need Joba throwing at players and further motivating the Red Sox.

If Joba was throwing at Bay in order to instigate a brawl, he need only watch this video:



Joba better hope the Red Sox don't retaliate later in the season. We all know what happens when the Red Sox participate in a rumble: they go on to win Championships.
