Dear Jason Giambi, Start a brawl. Get suspended. Please.



I know the Yankees have nothing resembling a power hitter outside of Abreu, Matsui, and Giambi right now, and you generally want a power hitter to hit 5th. But what has Jason Giambi done over the last few seasons, other than get with the above hottie to make anyone think that he's going to start hitting anything close to what is needed out of a #5 hitter?

Does anyone even remember what a Jason Giambi hot streak looks like? I feel like Michael in The Wire, when Dukie reminisces with him about the water balloon incident, but Michael is unable to remember anything positive about his childhood. My guess is that a Giambi hot streak would be something like a 15-20 game streak of .290 and 10-12 hrs. Don't get me wrong, those are some solid numbers. But as far as hot streaks out of your #5 hitter go, a team with a $200 million payroll can't be having that as its ceiling.

There's a big, burning lower case 't' on your front lawn, Giambi. "T"ime to leave. Douchebag.

As for the Wire clip, it's at 1:02 of the video below:
