06:34 AM ET 04.23 | If young Joba Chamberlain misbehaves tomorrow night, he might face a spanking from someone else's Papi. With Chamberlain scheduled to start for the Yankees in the opener of a three-game series against the Red Sox, David Ortiz yesterday said the talented right-hander should avoid using Kevin Youkilis' head as a bull's-eye. "None of that, man -- just play the game the way it's supposed to be, and that's about it," Ortiz said, referring to Chamberlain. "This is a guy, as good as he is, the next step for him will be to earn respect from everybody in the league. He's not a bad guy, but when things like that happen, people get the wrong idea." Considering he has fired four pitches either near Youkilis' head or behind Youkilis in the last 20 months, Chamberlain quickly has emerged as a villain to Red Sox Nation in this rivalry.

This was no warning. Just a lame attempt to set up this as being the home of today's chat thread. Lets see if I am right.

ortiz should be more concerned with his fat overweight no defense body and that terrible decline in power swinging before he starts talking about a pitcher

I didn't realize it was 4 times that Joba has thrown at Youkilis.

Yes. It likely will be the chat thread. Most of us don;t create TD's in order to get people riled up and use that as our chat thread. Get over it.

"He" doesn't deserve to.

Besides, he doesn;'t have time to be on this thread as he has to 'rustle up" enough votes to keep him ahead of 10D.

Nice sweep. Not sure based on what I have seen you say this week if you are happy about the sweep, or a little dissapointed it didn;'t go longer...
