You see? You see? He's not a machine, he's a man, he's a man.

Games 34 - Yankees

Indians 5, Yankees 3
Record: 17-17

Sure, it was bound to happen sometime, but I never expected David Dellucci to be the guy to shit on Joba Chamberlain's cloak of invincibility. The Yankees lost a tough one last night, 5-3 to the Indians, after Dellucci (a Yankee for all of 21 games in 2003) cranked a pinch-hit three run homer off Joba in the 8th, wasting a damn good start from Mr. Pettitte and actual offensive contributions from Giambi and Cano.

A few Joba-related notes:
  • It was only the second home run allowed in 37 career innings by Chamberlain
  • Dellucci's bomb were the first regular-season runs Chamberlain has allowed at Yankee Stadium
  • NY is now 15-1 when leading after seven innings this season

joba's gonna need to work on his stoicism a little bit. opposing fans will have a field day if he reacts that way to every setback.
