Couple things...
#1. No excuse for K-Rod walking the first two batters in the 9th..he deserved to lose for that...
FUCKING BUT!!!!!!!...
#2. Sheffield should have been called out THREE FUCKING TIMES during that at-bat. What an absolute GIFT the SPINELESS umps gave the Yankees today.
SPINELESS!!!!!!
Yeah, sure...the Sox get their fair share of calls to, but I cant remember any being so blatant as the gifts Sheffield got in that 9th inning at bat...Maybe this is what a heroine addict feels like after getting a long awaited fix, shooting up in the corner of some abandoned building and just not giving a fuck about what the rest of the world thinks...TATTOO"Comment

- I haven't been here in a week and I'm LOL over the whining about last Saturday's game. Please spare me.
All I have to say about Saturday's game is:
Bring on Mothra: Godzilla conquered K-Rod.
- Fortunately, the Yanks won Sunday's game as well. Cabera was clearly out at third and was called safe. He scored the go ahead run but it turned out not to matter.
- Test Giambi for steriods. HA. Like he would be stupid enough to take them after being the first and only to admit taking them in the first place. Let's give the guy credit for standing up and accepting responsibilty.
- Happy belated B-day A-Rod! Most homers by anyone at the age 30 in MLB history!!
- One championship in 87 years and you Red Sucks fans can't shut the fuck up.Comment

Yeah, like Raffi Palmero would be stupid enough to take steroids after testifying under oath before THE US CONGRESS that he never has...oh wait...D'OH!!!
But Giambi is WAY smarter than Palmero, just because he's a Yankee, right?
What a fanboy you are. Take off the Yankee colored glasses for once, will ya?Maybe this is what a heroine addict feels like after getting a long awaited fix, shooting up in the corner of some abandoned building and just not giving a fuck about what the rest of the world thinks...TATTOO"Comment

I just don't think Giambi is on the juice. I think he's been working hard. Maybe I'm wrong but maybe I'm not.Originally posted by Dave's PA Rental

I never mentioned Palmero and I haven't read the papers or the net today. What was found? Is it something in his viagra?
Secondly, wtf does that pic of Jeter supposed to mean? :confused:Comment

Giambi named AL Player of the Month
Slugger led the league in numerous offensive categories
By_Tom Singer_/_MLB.com
CLEVELAND -- Humility comes naturally to Major League ballplayers, who normally lightly deflect personal tributes.
But Jason Giambi had no trouble grasping the full meaning of his selection on Wednesday as the American League Player of the Month for July.
"It's exciting ... probably ranks up there pretty high on the list of things I've accomplished," said Giambi prior to the Yankees' game here against the Indians.
"In this game, especially, a lot of hard work doesn't guarantee you anything. Hard work doesn't necessarily mean you get results. It's nice that things came together. It was a big month for me, a big month for the Yankees."
Giambi mounted a guerrilla campaign for the award, coming out of nowhere to hit 14 home runs and lead the AL in various other offensive categories in July.
He had hit one homer each in May and June, and when that month ended, he had season totals of five homers and 22 RBIs. More than doubling those accumulated numbers, he drove in 24 runs in July while lifting his average to .286.
Giambi also led American League batsmen with a .974 slugging percentage, .524 on-base percentage and 74 total bases while batting .355 for the month.
All that just mere weeks after the Yankees considered sending him to Triple-A so he could find his swing.
"He's run an obstacle course to where he is now," said manager Joe Torre. "I'm very pleased for him. He's worked so hard to get there, and I know all the players were pulling for him. It's got to be very satisfying."
The month was also very compelling, since it ended with the most home runs struck in one month by a Yankee since July 1961, when Mickey Mantle also hit 14.
John Giambi, Jason's dad and childhood batting mentor, was a huge enough fan of Mantle's for the kid to don No. 25 in the Bronx -- because the digits add up to Mickey's retired No. 7.
"Oh yeah, he thought that was pretty cool, he was excited," said Giambi of his father's reaction to the Mantle connection. "That's the great thing about playing here. Any time you accomplish something, you get your name mentioned along with some great names."
Winning monthly awards is pretty old hat to Giambi. This is his fifth citation and the third since he joined the Yankees for the 2002 season.
But this is the first time he has been recognized since being implicated in a steroids scandal, since losing most of his strength and numbers to a siege of debilitating injuries, since swinging his hands raw in an attempt to get them back.
"It's nice," he said, not able to totally stray from his habitual understatement. "It's been a long way to come, a lot of hard work to put in."
