Comments on: It’s 10 p.m. Do you know who your GM is? http://yankees.lhblogs.com/2008/09/29/its-10-pm-do-you-know-who-your-gm-is/ A New York Yankees blog by Sam Borden, Chad Jennings and the staff of The Journal News Sun, 21 Mar 2010 21:55:15 -0400 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.8.4 hourly 1 By: STANLEY PANENKA http://yankees.lhblogs.com/2008/09/29/its-10-pm-do-you-know-who-your-gm-is/comment-page-5/#comment-554560 STANLEY PANENKA Tue, 30 Sep 2008 19:53:22 +0000 http://yankees.lhblogs.com/2008/09/29/its-10-pm-do-you-know-who-your-gm-is/#comment-554560 Giambi's gesture is just another reason to bring him back. He is a very classy guy who should be rewarded. If we sign Texeria, we could use Jason as a part time player. From Jason's many remarks he wants to remain and probably finish his career with the Yankees. I would not pick up the option, but I would give him a decent offer. Good guy to have in the clubhouse too! Giambi’s gesture is just another reason to bring him back. He is a very classy guy who should be rewarded.

The only reson they couldn't void his contract is that the players union would have had a S**t fit. Remember when they were trying to send him down to AAA in 2005? I'm sorry, but the guy is a cheater. I'm an Andy Pettitte fan, but he's a cheater too. But at least he's a stand up cheater apologized for exactly wht he was accused of, not a guy who screws his team by getting sick off the juice, and comes back to apologize for nothing. Enough of Giambi already, he'll amke his 5 Mil payout, and go sign somewhere else as a DH.

His interviews always have this "that's the way it goes" tone. like he doesn't care either way. Is it that easy to be apathetic about the Mets? and describing Santana's outing as "gangster" on ESPN was utterly stupid. this isn't even a contact sport! oh yeah...bring back Giambi and Abreu. :) @mel
