Deodorant Won't Mask That Stench

My buddy Bloody Gamebreak sent me this story:

ESPN.com: Page 2 : Cancun is full of good cheer

And my response to him was that this should surprise no one...

It's been that way for years. It goes back to 2002 when Giambi got here. He hasn't been the player he was in Oakland, even with those back-to-back 41 homer seasons in '02 and '03. He's the single-biggest reason why we're not a championship team anymore. Even without the benefit of hindsight, Giambi's arrival beckoned a fundamental change in how the Yankees approached at-bats and how they approached the game. Giambi is nothing short of the worst free agent acquisition in baseball history, given the money he's being paid and the dearth of production the Yanks have received from him (not even factoring in the 'roids fiasco and all the games he's missed). I have hated him from Day 1 and I honestly wish he'd just go away already. He's like the stench of death in that locker room.
