Recently, there has been a lot of criticism aimed at Joba Chamberlain for his apparent "over-exuberance" on the mound. Batters are being "shown-up" whenever he pumps his fist after an inning ending strike out. Are the batters really being shown up, or is Joba merely expressing excitement at his athletic success? Is Joba the only player to express himself in such a way? I hardly think so. Look at Jonathan Papelbon -- he's well known for his on-field enthusiasm. Does Papelbon get a pass because he is a World Series champion, and Joba has not yet "proven" himself? I think there's a double standard here against the Yankees.
