The Yankees likely will be without Joba Chamberlain on Monday night in Tampa Bay, as the reliever left the team on Sunday night to tend to his ailing father. According to sources, Harlan Chamberlain collapsed at his home in Lincoln, Neb. He was listed in critical condition at St. Elizabeth Regional Medical Center in Lincoln. Chamberlain learned the news after the Yankees' loss to the Red Sox at Fenway Park. Chamberlain's sister called a Yankees official during the eighth inning in an attempt to reach Chamberlain, who was in the bullpen at the time.

My prayers go out to him and his family as well. I'm glad to see the prayer support for him and his family on here. The power of prayer is strong.

Of course, there's always gotta be an ****hole in the group and Field Marshall takes the cake, as usual. But I forgive him, maybe he's one of those people who have a hard time dealing with things like this, so they joke about it to make themselves feel better. Or, maybe he wasn't hugged enough or ate paint chips as a kid. Only he knows, Field Marshall?

Good luck to your dad, but you are still a fat slob Joba. I hope you blow your arm out.

TT, to give you the time of day would just be wasting my time. Everyone can see by your comments that you're an ***hole too. Its funny how people can act so tough on here behind a computer screen though. By your comments, maybe you're bitter b/c you didn't have a dad growing up. What, did he leave when he found out your mom was pregnant or something? You have some serious anger issues and need help.

And I didn't take my own advice, I gave you more time than you deserve. Seriously though, let me know how getting help works out for you.
