Joba Chamberlain Claims He’s Just Seeing How Close He Can Come to Youkilis’s Head

Although Red Sox fans are irate at the fact that cowardly lion Yankee pitcher Joba Chamberlain has thrown behind the head of Kevin Youkilis at least three times over the past year, Chamberlain yesterday told COTGM that he has no ill intent in the actions.
           “It’s really become a curiosity issue with me,” Chamberlain said.  “I came close to hitting him in the head the first time in Yankee Stadium.  I felt bad, but it was kind of cool coming so close.  So I did it again to see if I could come closer.  Then it got kind of addictive.  Now, I want to see if I can hit a hair on his head without actually hitting his skull.  But heck, I don't want to hurt the man.”
           When informed of the news, Youkilis seemed relieved.  “Well, if he’s just trying to see how close he can come—but not actually hit me—I guess I have no problem with that,” the embattled first baseman replied calmly.  “I mean when he’d thrown at my head, like, four times, I was thinking, you know, it might be time to charge the mound or something--or throw the bat at his head.  But if he’s just having a little fun, hey, it’s a long season.  Blow off some steam.  I'll give him a call, and maybe we can meet for coffee."
