Oh sure, we get to boo and grouse in Internet chat rooms and generally denounce the manager to anyone who will give us the time of day. But the manager can tune all that stuff out.

BEAT WRITER 1: MACHA: BEAT WRITER 2: Speaking of the pitching, Ken, why pull Saarlos after the sixth? MACHA: Kirk pitched a really good ball game, but 90, 95 pitches is about his limit this season.

He is the first active player with significant major-league experience to publicly admit that he knowingly used steroids. In an interview with the Kansas City Star he said he was confessing in the hope that it will help keep others from making similar mistakes. "It's something I did," he told the newspaper. "I apologise. I made a mistake. I moved on. I kind of want it in the past. "They're not good for you. I think we need to reach out and let teenagers know they're not good for your body and not good for your health." The younger Giambi broke into the majors with the Kansas City Royals in 1998 but has never enjoyed the success or fame of his older brother.

52. Baseball Musings: Strikeouts So strikeouts aren t as bad as oldschool baseball guys may have believed, The jeremy giambi example is dead on and you may question the wisdom of not http://www.baseballmusings.com/archives/006586.php

Main April 30, 2004 Strikeouts Bryan at Against the Grain brings strikeouts into the unproductive outs argument Strike outs are the worst thing a hitter can do, because even if you ground out weakly or hit a soft-fly you have somechance of getting on-base. Watch a game and see how many jam-shot singles there are. Not every hit is a line-drive. Strike outs are an evil byproduct of drawing walks, because just by nature the more pitches you see the more times you're going to hit with two strikes. So strikeouts aren't as bad as old-school baseball guys may have believed, but they are still probably a lot worse than many SABRmetricians or SABRquixotics or whatever you want to call them believe. The thing that's bothered me for a number of years is that strikeouts appear to matter much more to a pitcher than a hitter. In other words, high strikeouts are one indicator that a pitcher is very good, but high strikeouts are not an indicator that a batter is very bad. I believe the basic reason for this is power; it's hard to hit HR off good pitchers, but players who strike out a lot tend to hit for power, too. As I've written before, I believe there are situations when trying to put the bat on the ball is much for important than trying to hit one out of the park . But in general, it's okay for hitters to swing hard, even if they miss a lot, because the results when they don't miss are so impressive.

Red Sox Patriots Celtics Bruins ... Baseball Giambi testified about his steroid use Yankees slugger told grand jury he took drugs for at least three seasons December 3, 2004 Ripping the shroud further off one of baseball's dirty secrets, Yankees slugger Jason Giambi testified before a federal grand jury that he used performance-enhancing human growth hormone in 2003 and illegal steroids for at least three seasons, the San Francisco Chronicle reported yesterday, citing a transcript of the court proceedings. ADVERTISEMENT Giambi made the admission under a grant of immunity from prosecution Dec. 11, 2003, just eight weeks after he homered twice off Pedro Martinez to help the Yankees defeat the Red Sox in Game 7 of the American League Championship Series. The former AL Most Valuable Player said under oath that he injected himself with steroids he obtained from Barry Bonds's personal trainer, Greg Anderson, one of four men indicted by the grand jury probing the Bay Area Laboratory Co-Operative. Giambi's brother, Jeremy, testified the same day that he injected himself with banned performance-enhancing drugs he obtained from Anderson. Jeremy Giambi said he injected both human growth hormone (hGH) and testosterone before the start of the 2003 season, which he played with the Red Sox. The Giambis, whose testimony contradicted their public denials of steroid use, joined former National League MVP Ken Caminiti and former AL MVP Jose Canseco in admitting their use of illegal substances. Gary Sheffield of the Yankees also has said he unwittingly used a cream that contained anabolic steroids, and the Chronicle reported that Anderson was secretly taped saying Bonds used steroids as recently as 2003.

Red Sox Patriots Celtics Bruins ... Red Sox ON BASEBALL Leaks leave Giambi in tricky waters March 8, 2005 FORT MYERS, Fla. Indestructible? Long before Jason Giambi ever told a grand jury that he'd injected human growth hormone into his stomach and testosterone into his buttocks, rubbed a steroid called "the cream" on his body, and took drops of another steroid known as "the clear" under his tongue, Giambi placed no limits on what his body could withstand. ADVERTISEMENT Fun for Jason and his little brother Jeremy was to hoist their bikes onto a neighbor's roof, take aim at a swimming pool below, pedal to the edge, and launch into the blue void, nervelessly believing there would be an exhilarating splash. But at age 34, the safe landings are far less certain than they were as a child for Giambi, a marked man in baseball's steroid scandal who is also coming off the worst season of his career, something perhaps more egregious in the eyes of indiscriminate fans who expect their superstars to perform on demand, regardless of the means they employ to do so. When Giambi signed a seven-year, $120 million contract with the New York Yankees in December 2001, he was arguably the most devastating hitter in the American League: MVP with the Oakland A's in 2000, runner-up in 2001, a man whose batting average had risen six straight seasons to .342 in '01, a slugger who projected a devil-may-care biker lifestyle while showing a watchmaker's eye at the plate. He cut his hair and cleaned up his look for George Steinbrenner's Yankees, and while he didn't deliver a World Series title in either of his first two seasons, and his surgically repaired left knee was a source of concern, he became just the fourth Yankee to have multiple 40-homer seasons, joining Babe Ruth, Lou Gehrig, and Mickey Mantle.
