Will Youk & Joba be B.F.F's now?

TAMPA, Fla. -- Yankees reliever [Joba Chamberlain] says he's received a text message from new teammate [Kevin Youkilis] and hopes whatever tension existed between the two is past.

When the Yankees played the Red Sox, Chamberlain and Youkilis feuded over inside fastballs. After Youkilis agreed to join the Yankees in December, the pitcher left him a voice mail. Chamberlain said in January that he had not heard back, but said Tuesday he had received a text.

"It's one of those things where people made it a bigger deal than it was," Chamberlain said after working out at the Yankees' minor league complex. "There's nothing to it. There's nothing between us. I'm glad to have him on our side. We're two grown men. We're playing on the same team. Our one goal is to win."

Really? Nothing between you two?  Then why everytime you faced him you threw at his head?  Granted Youk's head is ENORMOUS but still.

I think only an elite athlete can help us understand how this really works.  I am guessing that as part of the nature of what they do, and the fluid nature of player movement now, that you have to be able to turn a switch in the head, causing a guy to go from friend to foe and back again at a moments notice.


Me, I hold grudges, and have a long memory..........

I don't see how Youk can't be pissed at Joba since there is such bad blood between the two and I just don't see how everything can be "ok" since they are now teammates

It's easy, Youk....God.....Okay that guy that the Yankees signed. Will not hold a grudge for a very simple reason. The millions of dollars he will be making. Joba is beloved in NY. It wouldn't be wise to start a fight with one of the more populars players in the team you just joined.

I'm sure they will have plenty of time to work it out while they're both on the training table.

I'm sure they will be "special"friends while they keep each other company while they are both on the DL.

Seriously funny ez.

But I'll bet they won't be able to find A-Rod to cry on his shoulder.

As far as the Yankees are concerned though, I wish Derek Jeter and Mariano Rivera good healh in the upcoming season.
