JOBA UPDATE: Joba Chamberlain threw 35 pitches of BP today. Pete Abe has all the details.
To summarize, Joba had some control issues shaking the rust off, but seemed to come out of it okay physically. Joba claims he's ready to go, but Girardi wants to wait until tomorrow to see how he feels and go from there.
