On the eve of the first leg of the 2008 Subway Series, I sought out my Met-loving friend, Ricky Vaughn, for some rival banter.
Rabinowitz says: you ready for the Yankees to trounce your Mets? It's Joba's first Subway Series and he's gonna mow you guys down
Ricky says: joba is a hack
Rabinowitz says: yeah, so that's why he just struck out the side the other night and is one of the most, if not THE most, dominant setup men in the majors
Ricky says: oooo, let me convulse around the mound after getting a meaningless out in a 6-3 game
Rabinowitz says: you're just jealous because most of your relievers have been horrible ... you wish you had Joba on your staff
Ricky says: i wish i had his talent, not his antics
Rabinowitz says: yeah, like his celebrations are so awful
Ricky says: what has Joba ever really accomplished anyway ... go ahead, use bugs as an excuse
Rabinowitz says: all I'm hearing from you is, "joba, joba ... blah, blah, blah ... i'm jealous"
Ricky says: i don't have any pipe dreams about Joba Chamberlain being the best JC since Jesus tho
Rabinowitz says: as long as he's as intimidating as Joba the Hut setting up for Rivera, then closing when he retires, I'm fine with that
Rabinowitz says: i can't say he'll be an ace pitcher ... but then again, johan started as a reliever
Ricky says: but joba the hut was a fat mess who choked to death
Rabinowitz says: so what, he was intimidating, and that's the point
