I do think Mike's playing things up a bit with no Russo, but I also think he's legitimately angry and I can see why. The org dumped Torre and brought in the new guy who may or may not be in over his head, no playoffs last year, huge offseason, they are winless against their major rivals for the season, and they just dropped a series to the worst team in baseball at home, looking like they mailed a couple of games in. The Yanks right now deserve to be ripped, they deserve to feel some heat.
As for Joba, I used to think he was crazy wanting Joba in the pen, and I still think he should stay a starter, but I think he's less crazy now than I did before. I thought Joba would be better than this, although there's still plenty of time for that to happen. I'm glad he killed Joba's immaturity though, and how he acted with Posada the other day.
