Top 10 things from Joba’s first start as a Yankee. Pregame version, sitting in the press box at Yankee Stadium at 3:08.

10. The most debated baseball issue of the year is finally seen from the other side of Joba – the starting side.

9. It’s Not Ian Kennedy’s start.

8. The postseason tent is in place four months early. There is so much media, Yankee media relations officials had to set up the tent outside the press gate that is usually reserved for postseason.

7. Now the Kyle Farnsworth Watch begins in earnest.

6. June baseball suddenly becomes much more interesting.

5. It’s not the Roger Clemens Watch. Last year at this time, Clemens was making another comeback. Whatever happened to that guy?

4. We’ll probably get to hear that great baseball question tonight, again, “So was it just a matter of location?”

When you’re ball doesn’t have late movement, it’s always about location.

3. Less talk about Giambi’s mustache.

2. This start is taking place at Yankee Stadium, it had to happen here, not Minnesota.

1. We finally get to see Joba start a major league game.

Just 15 years and about 38,000 pitches to go.
