Jason Giambi had no idea until today that the American Mustache Institute had endorsed him for the All-Star Game.
“Just think, The Big G a fashion icon,” he said.
Meanwhile Giambi said that if he makes the team and is in the Home Run Derby, he could ask former Mets manager Willie Randolph to pitch to him. Willie threw to Giambi in the 2002 Home Run Derby when he won it.
“The Big G likes to stir it up,” he said. “Why not?”
For the sake of colorful quotes for two days, we implore you to vote for Giambi. Click the widget over to the right.
Oh man, didn’t know the Big G was so witty.
Is there no voting limit on the Final Vote? I keep waiting for it to tell me I’ve reached my limit and it doesn’t.
My God I would love Willie to pitch to Bino
no limit…keep going. the authenticating # is annoying.
After Willie is done throwing to Giambi can we bring him in as the 3rd base coach again? Pretty please???
BJ – no limit, keep voting!!
The Big G is the man!! People if for nothing else, help Pete stay funny by supplying him with ‘stache quotes!! VOTE FOR BIG G!!
And where are the updates coming from with Longoria being in the lead??
I want Willie sitting on the bench next to Girardi
I stopped getting the ‘thank you’ responses I would get after voting via text message.

Why do that to Willie ? That’s like a demotion to him and I wouldn’t do that to Girardi either, Willie went through the is this guy gunning for my job phase in his last job why put Girardi through that ?
LOL
The Big G sure is quite a character.
I’ll go vote some more..
On another subject, heard Andy speak highly of “Josey Molina” tonight. Doesn’t it seem that Jose has much better results with all the pitchers this year than Jorge? And they all seem to love Jose game calling.
Good thing Jorge has a better bat or he could be out of a job.
From the MLB All Star game website:
In the American League, the three leaders, Longoria, Jermaine Dye of the White Sox and Jason Giambi of the Yankees, all have more than two million votes each and are separated by just over 10 percent. They are followed by Brian Roberts of the Orioles and Jose Guillen of the Royals.
Anyone with unlimited texting plan text A2 to 36197 about 8000 times
bob – Giambi in 3rd? we have to step our game up people!!!!!!!!!!
PJH, are you still getting responses from your text message votes?
When people ‘go 3rd person’ it usually makes my skin crawl – how many boxers do it ad nauseum? -
HOWEVER! Big G actually makes it work.
TKinDC likes Big G. (nah, it doesn’t really work when I do it!
)
It’s also annoying to have to uncheck the “send me spam emails” boxes. You have to be right every time; they only have to be right once.
Tomorrow should be interesting between Ponson pitching and Jorge behind the plate unless of course Molina catches tomorrow and they have Jorge catch Moose on Thursday (which I doubt) it could spell lots of trouble
Wow, I must have voted at least 300 times today…
nick – if you’re wrong once then the terrorists win
Now I know how Jack Bauer feels.
Damnit, Chloe, send the schematics to my PDA!!!!
i have honestly voted a thousand times.. yeah i have no life, but think of me when the stache wins the derby
Nick, just use a fake email address. That way you don’t have to worry about unchecking the spam email boxes.
I dont have unlimited texting, my brother does, he voted like 40 times and got it each time. How many votes you put in?
See this is why I think its rigged. Are there really Tampa fans going on and voting for Longoria 300 times a day? Hell, they only learned they were Rays fans a month or 2 ago
Come on people! Keep voting. I’ve been voting all night, we have to get the big G to the game. It’ll be awesome to see him in the HR derby. I got to go vote some more.
Oh gosh, didnt uncheck the box for email.
If you guys are serious about getting ‘Stache to the game, you’re going to have to vote like crazy.
Remember when Posednik beat out Jeter?
You also have Red Sox nation trying to keep out the ‘Stache.
Just that picture of Kim Jones in the ‘Stache is worth 100,000 votes!
PJH,
Just unsubscribe when the e-mails come.
i must have voted 600 times scince it started and giambi is in third? wth?
Does it say how far behind he is?
I think the YES and Yankee Stadium promotion tomorrow should give him the push he needs. It’ll probably be all over sports center as long as the people who get the fake staches actually wear them.
Won’t they have to name a replacement for Ortiz in addition to the fan vote winner anyway?
The Big G should be there.
Good call, C. I just became a more efficient voter.
The sportscenter fools wearing fake mustaches..
This is getting outta control..
Bob,
Milton Bradley’s replacing Ortiz.
What’s the rule on the DH? One guy doesn’t do it for the whole game right? Are they allowed to pinch hit for the DH without losing the DH?
they can pinch hit. the only way they lose it is if they make the player who is dhi ng move to the field
u can hit for the DH all you want, just cant put him in the field
Maybe MLB is rigging this.
They don’t want a BALCO guy in the homerun derby?
I don’t know how you could keep voting for some one when you have to keep putting in all the information so I don’t think Red Sox fans would keep voting. Also, on a side note, Pete, I finally got banned from that, “site.” They could dish it but they couldn’t take it. I basically called them phonies because they try to be the thing you call your behind when it’s just an act.
Lost count, but stopped getting them eventually…
Complete game shutout for Justin Ducschererererer.
That’s an All-Star.
saucy, they’re still counting your votes, they’re just not thankful anymore.
sean: What site?
I’d been using my “junk mail” yahoo address, and unchecking that stupid thing each time (bloody annoying) until I realized you could just use a fake address and leave it checked.
I have voted lots and lots of times. The validation thing is annoying, does anyone else find it hard to read the numbers sometimes and have your vote rejected because you enter it wrong? Ugh.
Probably the site that sounds like Nome Ass, Rebecca.
“Maybe MLB is rigging this.
They don’t want a BALCO guy in the homerun derby?”
Bob – You are lost. The Big G is the only guy that came clean. Quit trying to punk him.
If anything youd figure MLB would want the home town slugger in the HR Derby.
I keep hitting resend on a text message addressed to the same number ten times!
that a boy saucy – i would do that but i’m out of the country
Pete
Tell the Big G if we get him in, we want a shout out to the Lohud Blogers during the homerun derby.
Quite a game in KC. Sox went up 7-5 in the top of the 11th, but KC tied it up off Linebrink.
And I finally just got a ton of thank you responses
you probably overloaded their system with votes.
Games back in the loss column….all that matters….to the team that is NOT going to be there in the end, we are 8 games back in the loss column….if those DAMN TWINS knew how to pitch late in a game,,,,we would be only 2 games back in the loss column to the Sux….as it stands, we are only 3 games back in the loss column to Bah-Stahn. After we win the slugfest tomorrow ( Ponson (yuck) against Jackson..)…we are gunna be 1/2 way to that 8 game winning streak we need to hit the ground running after the break. Great win tonight…all around….here’s to Sir Sidney pulling just one more wabbit outta his hat….then he can fade off into the sunset, y’all !!!
“Bob,

But Bradley was already on the team, someone still needs to replace Ortiz on the roster.
When is Horne or IPK going to be ready I assume after the break but how soon after the break. I wish Hughes would come back early and make a real impact this second half a few wins would be nice and set him up for next year.
“Maybe MLB is rigging this.

Bob – You are lost. The Big G is the only guy that came clean. Quit trying to punk him.
What are you talking about? I love the big G.
You don’t think sleaze ball Selig wouldn’t rig it to save himself the embarrassment of having a confirmed steroid user in the home run derby?
Even though it is fun watching Joba in the rotation Joba and Franchise would be even nicer.
i wonder if the runner-up in the final man voting would take ortiz spot
Royals gonna tie it again?
What exactly has Rob Thomson done wrong as the bench coach? He paid his dues why should he lose his job becuase someone else did. Please!
The idea of Willie back at the stadium is too good to pass up. You win, Jason. Voting now…
