Their fight was over before it was over. Joba Chamberlain said there's no bad blood between him and legendary catcher Yogi Berra, after the Yankee hurler was caught on tape mocking the former Bomber backstop. "Yog is great and I got a chance to talk to him on the phone, and he knows I love him and he loves me, too," Chamberlain said yester day, before the Yankees played the Baltimore Orioles. "Yogi is Yogi and Joba is Joba and that is the way it is." It was like deja vu all over again at the Berra household, where Yogi's wife also said there are no hard feelings. "Yogi loves Joba and Joba loves Yogi," said Carmen Berra, pinch hitting for her hubby who was traveling out of town. "Their relationship is per fect." During the Oct. 18 drunken- driving bust in Lincoln, Neb., a rambling Chamberlain mocked Berra about his height. The raucous relief pitcher blathered that he was a catcher in high school and is now good friends with one of the game's all-time greatest catchers.
