Q&A with Joba Chamberlain

Yankees starting pitcher Joba Chamberlain spent his Wednesday afternoon playing Guitar Hero: Aerosmith with some lucky fans. He took a break to talk to us about a variety of subjects.

SI.com: Are you a big Guitar Hero fan? (Video of Joba playing against his best friend can be found here.)

Chamberlain: Yeah. I haven't played lately, but during spring training and when I'm home I play a lot. It's a nice getaway and gives you a chance to be a kid, slow things down and have some fun. I love that I could trash talk to my friends in California or Florida or wherever they're at. It's pretty sweet.

SI.com: What's your favorite song to perform?

Chamberlain: I just played Love in an Elevator. That's a great song. You can't go wrong with anything from Aerosmith.

SI.com: Do a lot of guys on the team play? And if so, who's good and who's bad?

Chamberlain: Yeah, there are a lot of us who play during spring training. Phil Hughes is OK. Shelly Duncan is OK. Jason Giambi isn't very good, but he loves the game.

SI.com: Do you ever worry about pulling a Joel Zumaya?

Chamberlain: [Laughing] Yeah, you think about it, but it's a one in a million thing. A lot of guys play it all the time and nothing happens.
