Joba's aches and pains


A line drive hit Joba in the thigh today. He bent over like a big baby, drawing the coaches and trainers from the dugout. They let him continue but he gave up two singles in a row. So out came the coaches again and Joba was sent to the clubhouse for xrays. The xrays turned out to be negative, of course.
Joba, man up and pitch the game. You've got a troubling pansy streak that needs to be eradicated before it truly hurts the team. Maybe a blanket party will straighten you out. I'll leave that to the Captain to handle.
Edit: This just in, x-Rays were negative, as mentioned above. When asked about his "injury", Joba said yesterday, "It's a lot better than I thought it would be...it didn't bruise or swell."
Let's think about this. It didn't break. It didn't bruise. It didn't swell. What did it do? Why did he bend over, scaring the coaches, and then throw two fat pitches for singles? The fact is, he wasn't hurt at all. That's why they left him in. Joba found a way to leave the game because he just didn't want to compete. Simple as that.
