Jason would have given Alex props if he said, “Someday, HOPEFULLY, I’ll be able to [be more specific].”

Its all a joke.

““Alex did OK,” Giambi said finally. “The hard part is saying you did it, so at least that’s over for him.””
When did Giambi ever say that HE did it? All he said was sorry, I think Arod’s apology was better then Jason’s, atleast Alex gave some details.
ARod cant win no matter what he does, they all say apoligize, he does, but his apology isnt good enough. We all know he did roids, he admitted it, who cares where he got them or who injected him.

When has Giambi ever even mentioned the words “banned substance”?

So now we’re judging a 7 year contract based on 4 games? That sounds ridiculous to me.

is this a serious question?

if Giambi had broken his hand in an on field accident, NO, of course i wouldn’t feel the same way.

EXCEPT THAT’S NOT WHAT HAPPENED. so why is it relevant?

dude gave himself a tumor from shooting horse piss into his ass for 3 years, and that directly lead to him missing one of the biggest postseasons in franchise history.

are you actually suggesting that if, say, Giambi hurt himself riding a motorcycle while drunk, that he shouldn’t be blamed for that? because “an injury is an injury regardless of the reason”?

i can’t believe this is even being questioned.

I made of game of what Jason was apologizing for. Leaving up the toilet seat, not taking out the garbage, forgetting his wife’s birthday.

An injury is an injury, regardless of the reason. If he had torn his ACL doing something or other on the field, would you have the same sentiment?

except for the one time when the franchise needed him the most, he was out with steroid related health issues.

i like Giambi, but let’s be honest, replace Tony Clark/John Olerud with Jason Giambi and the 2004 ALCS doesn’t happen and the Yankees probably win the WS.

for that, he deserves a shitton of blame that he never gets, and that A-Rod is STILL trying to recover from.
