What is on Joseph's Mind, Pray Tell?

It looks as if he is thinking about the overpaid team he has to manage again this year .... and lose another Series.

I am a Joe Torre fan by the way - he is a class act

As a baseball and Yankees fan I am not happy that Giambi was on steroids but I do give him a lot of credit for being one of the few players (maybe the only player) to come clean with the Grand Jury. With that said, I doubt Giambi will hit over 30 Homers but if he does it would be great. I am just wondering if Giambi's days with the Yankees are numbered and the Yankees try to weasel out of his contract if he comes up bust. A huge amount of pressure is on Giambi. Also what team would take a chance on him unless the Yankees paid a good portion of his salary.

As long Giambi is healthy, there's no reason he can't have a good season. He was a pretty good player before the juice, I assume.

If giambi was such a stand up guy as you proclaim him to be, why did it take a grand jury testimony to make him say those things? And do you think he would have said them if he had thought his testimony might have been leaked?

What was he sorry for? Was he sorry for having used steroids? Or was he sorry for having been caught?

The yankees have no recourse to void his contract...he violated no rules in injecting himself with steroids, as they were not banned from the game when he did it.

<<The yankees have no recourse to void his contract...he violated no rules in injecting himself with steroids, as they were not banned from the game when he did it.>>

I agree but they wouldn't. The freaking player's union is too strong so I will settle for 2nd best....Giambi to prove himself by having a very solid year but it is going to be hell with the fans since fan favorite Tino is back.

Axtell

What are you talking about? The player's union has nothing to do with this.

Giambi injected himself with steroids, which, prior to 2003, wasn't a banned substance. So as long as he didn't do it after 2003, the yankees have no recourse to do anything to his contract other than pay him.

Axell Rose, how old are you? Serious question.

IF GIAMBI is allowed to take creatine. you can get the size and strenth you need just like juice. creatine works awesome and it is on shelves at gnc.

Is it banned from mlb though??? nfl yes!

Yes it is an illegal substance to take without a prescription.

However, there was nothing in MLB rules that prohibited their use.

Not only do steroids make you bigger, they have you maintaining that size and strength over the course of a season.

Creatine cannot do this.

And anyone who says steroids don't make a difference is delusional. If they didn't, then why would these athletes risk their lives, their health, their careers if steroids didn't make a HUGE difference?

kuhlmann

steroids will not last a season unless you stay on all season! as soon as you get off 2 weeks later you start to decline!

i have taken creatine many times and actually am again. and it does make a huge difference in strenth and size, thats why it is banned from nfl and olympics. i am not sure if it is banned in mlb though.

no creatine will not put on the size testostorone will. however it will make a huge difference in weight training if bonds giambi and all these guys take creatine they will still look big.

Justin

Is there a test for creatinine? Is this one of the things that MLB will test for it?

I got two words for all these guys....
