Jason Giambi - Bridge Builder
Last week, there was a mention about Jeter & A-Rod hanging out together in Vegas during the Thanksgiving weekend. At that time, I thought that was odd - given reports of the two of them not having a great relationship.
Today, the Post confirms, from Jeter, that both he and Rodriguez were together in Vegas, as it was reported last week.
Jason Giambi was at that get-together with Jeter & A-Rod. Giambi lives and trains in Vegas and parties there all winter.
Did Jason arrange for this meeting? Makes sense - considering it was on his turf. Good thing Giambi was not studying at Stanford back in 1997.
If things improve for the Jeter and A-Rod relationship, and then Rodriguez starts to feel more comfortable in New York, perhaps we will look back to this Vegas meeting as where it all began? And, if that happen, Giambi deserves an assist.
Who would have thought that one of Giambi's biggest contributions to the Yankees would come in the form of an "assist"?

I thought what happened in Vegas stayed in Vegas?
Maybe Giambi brought a ton of hot chicks to help them sign the peace accord? Hot chicks always make everyone forget what they might've been fighting about.
I'll be checking On The DL (http://itsasecretsohush.blogspot.com/) for any updates from this trip.

I think we should start tracking a new and apparently OUTRAGEOUSLY important stat, the "How Much Does Derek Jeter Like Him?" stat. Since it is obviously a critically important performance indicator.
Jeter must have hated Tony Womack.

From what I understand, Jeter hated Terrence Long and Darrell May/Tim Redding too. :-)

Does Jeter hate the NY Giants?

In the article, Jeter says A-Rod doesn't care about any of this. I don't know if Jeter really believes this or not, but I wish it was true. I wish this garbage DIDN'T get into Alex's head.
I thought a much more interesting note in the article was that Philip Hughes was at this charity event with Jeter and Guidry. I hope Hughes was able to build a bit of a bridge with Jeter -- he's definitely someone who can help him deal with all the pressure of being a young player in New York whom people have high expectations for.

Not that I know of, but these days I sure do. Don't get me started on how infuriating their games have been the past month...

Yeah, if Jeter doesn't take a liking to Phil Hughes, his curve ball will lose a good three inches of break. You can look it up.
