	SInce I doubt you are Yankee fans let me fill you in on some knowledge before you go Joba bashing. When Chien Mien Wang beat CC Sabathia 1-0 CC did the same thing. Jeter had a lead off double and CC didnt allow the run to score and gave a very similar pump. CC was last years CY YOUNG and is a veteran so lets not say Joba is immature. Baseball is full of emotions and so is Joba, When he does this it is the furthest thing from trying to show people up. Its peoples exitement succeeding under pressure. Yankee haters love to nit pick every possible thing they can. JOBA RULES.

	SInce I doubt you are Yankee fans I was a Yankee fan before you were a gleam in your dads eyes sonny. I still don't like excessive celebrations intended to kick dirt on the other team. I don't believe Joba did his fist pump to do that however. I think he was just excited.

	Let me play the devil's advocate here. I am all for all types of celebration in sports because I think it is fun. The reason this has gotten so much attention is because many vocal yankee fans have complained for years about K-Rods fistpump and Manny flipping the bat. The cumulative yankee fan has talked about how that is bad sportsmanship and how the yankee way is to act like a professional. Now that the Yankees have a player who is overly animated and celebrates at any opportunity, instead of yankee fans being consistent and bashing it you hear how refreshing it is to finally see someone who gets pumped to play and is excitable. It is very very hypocritical of yankee fans.

	I don't care for it. Nor do I care for Manny's watching the homeruns either. When the next player steps up to the plate and hits a homer off of him, and then starts a slow celebration around the basepaths let's hope Joba doesn't think it is a big deal. I wouldn't have an issue if he would be doing this to Manny, becaise then it would be a reaction to Manny's stupidity, but when you do it to players that have done nothing to show you up, well that is low class.
