Next on my list of people the NY media needs to lay off is..............
Jason Giambi.
Who cares if he said the word steroids yesterday or not?
I don't.
All I care about is the fact that he said he was sorry and that he says that he wants to do right by the fans and his team in the future. As long as his actions back up his words, then I've got no beef with Giambi.
Heck, I'm not going to lie about it. If I were in his position, I probably would have done the same thing. It's not like he broke any of MLB's rules at they time that they were in place when he took THG and whatever else that he ingested and injected into his body to make more money than I'll ever see in my lifetime.
And at least he's being honest about that. I'll give Giambi a longer leash than guys who want to deny things that are becoming increasingly obvious every day.
And as much as the media wants to whine, I view steroid use in baseball prior to the last year or two akin to people driving over the speed limit every day. People know that they shouldn't do it. But, if nobody is going to call them on it, why should they change their behavior?
Especially since speeding saves people what, a minute a day and steriods can put millions of dollars in one's bank account.
The NY media should be hounding Gary Sheffield who continues to act like he didn't know what his trainer told him to take.
But you know that won't happen because Sheffield isn't the guy that hit .208 last season. He wasn't the guy that was hurt most of last season.
Apparently hitting the cover off of a baseball is more important than being a stand up guy and trying to be honest about how you've conducted yourself in the past.
If that's the way the NY media feels, then that tells me more about their moral fiber than it does about Giambi's.
