Harlan Chamberlain in critical condition
According to sources, Harlan Chamberlain collapsed at his home in Lincoln, Neb. He was listed in critical condition at St. Elizabeth Regional Medical Center in Lincoln, a nursing supervisor there told the Daily News on Sunday night. Chamberlain learned the news after the Yankees' loss to the Red Sox at Fenway Park.
Chamberlain's sister called a Yankees official during the eighth inning in an attempt to reach Chamberlain, who was in the bullpen at the time.
After the game, a source said, Chamberlain returned the call, only to learn of his father's collapse.
Sources said Chamberlain broke down in tears inside the clubhouse, as manager Joe Girardi consoled him.
I am a Yankee-hater; that is my job. But I love Joba Chamberlain and how close -- inextricably linked, really -- he and his father. And I cheer hard for all Huskers, no matter where they go on to play. I fear what would happen to Joba's trademark celebrations, not to mention his astounding pitching, if he was without that important piece of his life.
Prayers for Harlan, if you are the praying sort.

Can we still hate the Yankees and root for Joba? I like to think so. I love him and his father.
Yes, of course we can. I sure do...Joba represents a lot for a baseball fan to LOVE, and it would be foolish to ignore all that awesomeness (on and off the field) just because he is a Yankee.
