But Jason is so fat that he's too easy to hit.
I kid.

I think the Yanks are gonna really struggle in the 2nd half of the season.
Their age and crappy pitching is finally starting to catch up to them.

Yankees savior Giambi is first-half MVP Pujols a lock in NL; Santana, Arroyo deserve early Cy Youngs Image: Giambi Frank Franklin Ii / AP Where would the injury-riddled Yankees be without Jason Giambi this season? COMMENTARY By Bob Harkins MSNBC Updated: 10:37 a.m. ET July 3, 2006 The signs are there, clear to the naked eye. Alex Rodriguez is once again under fire for saving his most heroic moments for Yankees blowouts. The Royals are looking ahead to next … uh … decade. And Bud Selig has been spotted preparing to end his hibernation and exit his steroids-proofed cave. It must be that time of year again: the mid-point in baseball’s marathon of a season. But as you listen to Selig spout rosy attendance and revenue figures from the All-Star extravaganza in Pittsburgh (as he surely will), take a moment to remember the foot soldiers who made it all possible. And I’m not talking about Victor Conte. So without further ado, it’s time to honor those who went above and beyond the call of duty to make baseball great — and take attention off Barry Bonds — with our mid-season awards. AL MVP There is no shortage of candidates for the award this season. There is the Manny Ramirez-David Ortiz pair in Boston, and the Jim Thome-Paul Konerko duo in Chicago. Vernon Wells deserves a better exchange rate the way he is crushing the ball in Toronto. And Travis Hafner is wondering where all his help went in Cleveland. But it's time to think outside the box. If you’re looking for the most indispensable player on a contending team (which is who usually wins these things), you’ve got to go with Yankees first baseman Jason Giambi. The Yankees have remained in contention despite a rash of injuries, and Giambi — with a big assist from Derek Jeter — is the biggest reason why. Heading into Monday’s games, Giambi is third in the AL in home runs, sixth in RBIs, and third in slugging percentage. And although the Yankees don’t look like a playoff team right now, George is always willing to make some deadline deals to help his team down the stretch. How is this guy not an All-Star?
