Jason Giambi was really feeling the need for a hit when he came up with the bases loaded in the fifth inning of last night's game in Toronto.
“I would have been the guy from “An Officer and a Gentleman” in the shower hanging myself if I hadn’t gotten that hit. They would have found me naked in the shower, cashed out.”
The hit he got, a grand slam, broke open a 4-2 game and sent the Yankees off and running to their sixth straight victory. The win also pushed them 20 games above .500 on the season not that Giambi has contributed all that much to the second-half fun. His two hits in 27 at-bats before the grand slam had me wondering if he wasn't trying to count cards in an oxygen-deprivation chamber instead of taking batting practice. Either that or he was concentrating too much on romancing Jeremy Giambi's former fiancee after his brother went off to Vietnam and never came home. Mike Mussina, the Yankees Mayonnaise, has starts tonight for the first time in a couple of weeks because the Bombers have no place else to go when it comes to finding a pitcher.
