Tick said he was driving his dads scooter



LINCOLN, Neb. -- Before he was stopped and detained on suspicion of DUI Saturday morning, Yankees pitcher Joba Chamberlain was provoked and goaded by a fellow patron at the Night Before Lounge, a strip club in downtown Lincoln, according to two witnesses.Chamberlain, 23, who was accompanied by a group of friends, was approached by a man who mocked him about playing for the Yankees."Somebody said to him, 'If you played for the Red Sox, you wouldn't be sitting here right now,"' said Gary "Bo" Bohaty, who owns the Beacon Lounge, which is next door to the Night Before Lounge.Bohaty, 45, had heard that the young pitching phenom was there and stopped by to say hello. Bohaty said Chamberlain "seemed fine" and was "cool," but became sour after the comments were made."It got a rise out of him," Bohaty said. "Joba turned his head and said, 'What did you say?' and the guy yelled it again."A member of Chamberlain's party engaged in some minor pushing with the man who confronted Chamberlain, but Chamberlain himself didn't get physical, according to a manager at the Night Before Lounge who wished to remain anonymous.
