Giambi is probably through. I don't think the Yankees will want/need him around now, they'll probably pay him to play elsewhere.
To me it's just entertainment. I'm not going to give much thought to the 'integrity' of a game where people hold out because they know they can get 7 million instead of 5 million. Giambi hasn't been playing well so who cares about him. This whole thing is about Bonds, whether anyone admits it or not, and about what he has been doing for the last few years. I don't know or care what Bonds did. Drugs don't make you see the ball better and know what the pitch is, and if they did it really doesn't bother me. All I care about are two things:
1. If I am entertained
2. How my fantasy teams do
Whatever players do to maximize those two things works for me, as long as they don't hurt anyone. And Bonds is damn entertaining. Giambi, not so much anymore. It's really just a game, and if players want to take supplements to get an 'edge' in a game, then that's their risk. Of course, if I played baseball I'd probably be pissed at these guys for cheating, but I don't, so it's hard to get worked up about it.
