1. I'm a die hard Yankee fan and this guy seems like a bit of a head case and I wouldn't mind seeing him gone.

5. #1- No way are you a Yankees fan. No real Yankees fan would want Joba gone. He's the future. Too bad he wasn't DUIing in Boston.

6. There is no apostrophe in Yankees and no one in their right mind wants him gone. He made a stupid move and he will not forget it but he is not being traded-ever.
