If he wasn't a good guy, don't you think the media would be as hard on him as they are on Barry?

To me, being an admitted steroid using cheater doesn't scream 'class', but hey, to each his own..
FWIW, I picked him up in my roto league about 2 weeks ago. Good times.
I'll let the A's fans have their say about him as it relates to him leaving after the 2001 seasonComment

Originally posted by deeman11747When was this?Originally posted by deeman11747Unfortunately I failed to realize that Quantrill can no long get people out... Gordon is streaky... Sturtze is... well... Sturtze.... Groom is 41... Stanton is 38.... RJ is old... Pavano had one good year... Wright is always hurt and thrived under Mazzone... GIAMBI CAN'T HIT WITHOUT HIS STEROIDS... Womacks OBP is lower then down the left field line in Yankee Stadium... Bernie can't throw... and Posadas getting old.
But what I want to know is how you can justify Giambi's use of sterouds since, well, he's hitting pretty damn well at this point.
And a shout-out to Jets for always giving yankee fans a good name and not flipping like a flouder caught off the line.Comment

I never said that I disliked him at the time... because I never have. But after last year, I dont think anyone came into the year expecting him to turn things arounf and look what happened...a very pleasant surprise. I'm not going to lie and make myself out to look like a genious by saying I knew all along he'd come around... because honestly I never thought he would... but now that he has... I'm very pleased. All fans are going to get on guys when they are underperforming... especially a guy getting 13 mil a year... and thats exactly what I did... but I never disliked him personally because he never gave me a reason to.
And no... I am 100% certain he is not on steroids right now. I don't think any human being, including Giambi, would be stupid enough to go back on steroids after being involved in one of the biggest scandals in sports history. I credit it to hard work by him with Don Mattingly.

Originally posted by deeman11747Good find... good find. But people... including myself... get irrational and crazy when there teams are stuggling just as the Yankees were back on that day. There a different team now and yes... I have changed my mind on Giambi as he has proved me along woth most wrong.

Re: Giambi coming back around....
Like I said, I doubt he cools down. He is going to put up insane numbers for the rest of the way.
Walk him. Find a place to put him even if the bases are loaded. His OBP might rise, yea, but it's better than giving up an almost gauranteed home run at this point.Comment
