Giambi Out of the Home Run Derby

[Bubbles]

Geez, they're dropping like flies. Griffey's out, and now Giambi is, with an "internal parasite."

Did he pull a Red Pollard and swallow a tapeworm? ;) Seriously, I'd like to know exactly what happened here.

He's missed several games lately because of this. I'm sure they want him to rest up as much as possible.

Yeah, yeah,, that's why he lost so much weight from last year.. The parasite was retroactive from before Spring Training..

Nothing to do with getting off the roids..

Noone said anything about lost weight. He missed several games in late June and early July because of this. He doesn't belong at the All Star game anyway.
