    Giambi 5th again? Why?

    How bad does he have to do to be moved down in the order?

    Girardi is too damn stubborn for his own good.

    Both Sox lost, Yanks can move to within 5 with a win. Hey, it's a start.

    Come on Carl!

    Hahahaha, isn't it fitting that the day I decide to bring up Giambi's struggles, he starts the night going 2-for-2 with a homer and 3 RBI?

    "Hahahaha, isn't it fitting that the day I decide to bring up Giambi's struggles, he starts the night going 2-for-2 with a homer and 3 RBI?"

    The exception doesn't disprove the rule. It proves it. One example of Giambi doing well doesn't make up for all his garbage and men LOB. He's been killing us.
