Its like leaving the 'hood to the hills...then realizing you didn't belong and moving back to the hood.

I'm reserving judgment. But most of these A's one off signings haven't worked out all that well. One year with Frank Thomas aside.

[TopShelf]

True I agree.

Im trying to have high hopes for the A's hitting this season with the additon of Matt Holliday and Giambi.

Yeah and now he doesn't have BALCO to help him bulk up

what ever happened to jeremy giambi?

He was dumb enough to admit he took steroids to get better at baseball.
THE END.

The problem with Jeremy Giambi is that he couldn't really hit even when he was on the juice.

And Jason Giambi has still put up some decent numbers in the last couple years even though he's been injured:

(2008)
145 games
458 at bats
32 home runs
96 rbi
.247 avg (about the A's team average, )

Good riddance GO YANKEES!!

That fat piece of sh**, all he had to do was slide, just like you're taught in little league, and Jeter doesn't have the play at the plate...

Didn't Jason have something like 37 homers last year? He may still have some pop in his bat, but like his physical stature, he has a somewhat deflated statistical stature since BALCO went out of business. (The Yankees love to "cherry-pick" the A's, but they sure got a pit with him. )

 

[mikev]

He was safe anyway, but he still should have slid.

+1

 

[mikev]

Wait what.

Alayna's a baseball -- nay.. an A's fan?

Don't take this wrong:

I love you.
