After an unsuccessful foray into gay coffee distribution, Joba Chamberlain has returned to the Yankees this season and proven 2 things:1.) One day he might be a dominant starter
2.) He is absolute garbage on more or less than 4 days rest
Lacking a better method of keeping Joba's inning count for this season at a reasonable level, the Yankee brass have come up with a radical new solution. Chamberlain will remain in the starting rotation, but with a slight twist:
He will be allowed 1 pitch per appearance.
Yankee Manager and recovering angerholic Joe Girardi weighed in on the organization's decision: "Well, you know, he gives us a lot of flexibility. The Job-man can work out of A jam, intimidate A tough hitter, and start An intentional walk. I think he's really going to be big for us down the stretch... Oh, he's gonna be starting? That's just stupid..."
Chamberlain himself found nothing wrong with the new plan: "Yeah, doesn't really bother me none. I'm still going out there to try and help the team win. Its still 60'6". Take one game at a time. That's baseball..." 
(Joba tips his cap on the way to the dugout Sunday, after giving up a homerun in the first inning)
