In the immortal words of American icon Ricky Bobby, "Dear Lord baby Joba..."
Who do you want at the plate with the game on the line in the ninth?
About Me
The Inspiration For 6 Pound 8 Ounce Baby Joba
At the age of 5 Conor Cashel and Kevin Seefried became die-hard Yankee fans. And nothing has changed since. From collecting baseball cards, to practicing the John Sterling's famous "Thaaaaaaaa Yankees WIN" to reading every article written about the Yanks, Conor and Kevin live, sleep, eat, and breathe Yankee baseball. The friends grew up in Westchester, New York, but have since moved to Denver, CO (Kevin) and Boston, MA (Conor). Inspired by the Hot Stove season, the Blog was started in early December of 2008.
In regards to the name of the blog... It is a reference to the famous Quote from Talladega Nights: The Ballad of Ricky Bobby "Dear 8 pound 6 ounce baby Jesus..."Of course the title of the blog is 6 pound 8 ounce baby Joba, and the numbers were switched because we became Yankee fans in the era of Joe Torre (#6) and the site was started after the last game at Yankee stadium, in which our favorite site was seeing Yogi Berra(#8) in his uniform at home plate. Then Joba is the future of our Yankee fandom. So there is a chronological order to it.
The title won out over various other possibilities like: The Posada Pit, Raising the Ruth, The Bubba Crosby Blog, The Good the Great and The Gherig, Monumental Minds, Bye-Bye Bernie, Pettitte Precision, Jetertopia, The Legacy of Ledee, and Chad Curtis Where Are You?

I have an idea and I was wondering what you thought. I have been reading that the front office is not big on signing Wang long term. So what if you packaged him with Milky, Berroa and another young talent. That’s four young studs for Peavey. Without hurting the Yankees in the future and giving us another great clubhouse guy. What do you think? Plus I know if we don't do it he will end up with that soxs and that would suck.
I really am not a fan of that idea. Sorry. First, the pads wouldn't accept it. Well, I mean the last young talent would have an impact, but if it wasn't Ajax or montero there'd be near zero chance of a trade. On another front, the reason we don't want to sign wang long term is that we have too many young pitchers who will take over when wang leaves. We have 5 years of aj, and 7(3 if opted out) of cc, joba's under control for a long time, Hughes will be good, Kennedy can be good, then there's andrew brackman, dellin betances, zach mcallister, among others, so we don't need peavy, we have cheaper long term solutions.
i agree with kevin. melky and berroa would not be enough to get somebody like peavy
