New York (WFAN) - In the aftermath of Joba Chamberlain's ankle injury, many fans seem to be of the opinion that Joba should not have been anywhere near a trampoline and this is something the Yankees should be angry about.

It still is not clear exactly what Joba was doing and how it ended in this horrific injury. When he provides those details, maybe it will be easier to understand what went on.

Can you be mad about that?
