Is Smells Like Teen Spirit the Joba entrance music at the stadium? I heard him come into it once, and as a child of the grunge era, I loved it. Has this happened multiple times?

I chose “greater need” but then i think there will be a need in the rotation.

So far, he has shown he can be a dominant reliever. We also know that he has the potential to be a very good starter, though we haven’t seen him do it at the ML level. Given that, I’d like to see him in the rotation, but if by some miracle the Yanks find themselves with too many quality starters next season (how?), I wouldn’t be overly upset with Joba throwing ~100 innings out of the pen, again with some useage rules on him (these seem to be necessary with Torre. I wonder if the front office catches on and starts imposing these rules on all the relievers…).

I thought it was Indian Outlaw?

I love SLTS though. Nirvana’s my favorite band
