HERE'S JOBA!
By MICHAEL MORRISSEY and GEORGE KING

August 6, 2007 -- Yankees fans are dying to see Joba Chamberlain pitch,
but Joe Torre would simply like to meet the young man first.

He'll get that chance today.

After yesterday's game, Mike Myers was designated for assignment and did not
make the trip to Toronto. Chamberlain will be there and will be activated
in time for this afternoon's game.

"I don't even know what the kid looks like," Torre said after repeated
questions about the ballyhooed 21-year-old right-handed prospect. "I've
seen him on television.

"Just to hear all the things I've heard about him, yeah, I am curious.
I don't know when that (call-up) is gonna happen, but I am curious."

It's almost comical how well the 6-foot-2, 230-pounder is pitching.

He worked two innings of relief for Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre on
Saturday night against Buffalo and whiffed five. He has struck out 10 in
four relief innings and allowed one hit.

With the Yankees' relief corps struggling in an 8-5 victory over Kansas City,
fans and media members had been clamoring to see the debut of Chamberlain,
a converted starter.

In the seventh inning, Brian Bruney allowed a walk and hit with two outs.
Two runs then came home on Mark Teahen's RBI single to center off Myers
when Melky Cabrera overran it, and Joey Gathright hit an RBI single off
Myers in the eighth to prompt a call for Mariano Rivera.

"The walks still haunt us," Torre said.

"We still have to find a way not to go to Mo in the eighth inning."

General manager Brian Cashman was unavailable for comment on the call-up.
