Giambi Training Hard For Comeback Season
From The Vegas Eye:
Hard Rock Hotel & Casino continued the flow of weekend celebs on Sunday night. AGO, the newly opened dining hotspot welcomed New York Yankee Jason Giambi celebrating his birthday and Hip Hop legends Flavor Flav of Public Enemy and DMC of Run DMC. Later in Body English, Chuck D of Public Enemy, DMC, Flavor Flav and DJ Johnny Juice Rosado kicked off CES week with the launch party for their new digital music content project, BEYOND.FM. The rappers gave an impromptu 20-minute performance to a capacity crowd with hands in the air for the entire show. This marks the first time Flavor Flav, Chuck D and DMC have ever performed on the same stage together. Continuing his birthday celebration, Giambi was all smiles when presented with a unique cake in the shape of a voluptuous (nude) woman.
Well, at least this time, Jason left his famous shirt at home.

Giambi definitely should have been inside working out in the cage on his birthday. Crazy guy.

I agree with Bailey. He shouldn't sleep or eat either. He's got to improve in the field before he can eat again.

Another 'comeback season'...?
Oy. Hey Jason, how about you stop sucking in the first place - then you wouldn't need so many 'comebacks'...

Since 1999 Jason Giambi has OPSd less than .900 exactly twice. Both of those seasons, he played fewer than 85 games due to injury. So, Jason Giambi doesn't suck, and Pete clearly didn't even read the Steve's oh-so clever and snarky post.
I've always thought that one of the biggest things Joe Torre did wrong against Cleveland, was that he got Giambi to the plate exactly 4 times in the ALDS. 4 times in 4 games. Inexcusable. Jason Giambi at 50% is better than Shelly Duncan, or Andy Phillips, or Betemit at full strength. At least Jason will work the count and make pitchers run their pitch counts up.
There have to be better targets in the Yankees organization than Giambi to pick on.
