Oh how the mighty have fallen. As bad as the past decade has been for the Evil Empire State team, they have now gone from simply pathetic, to ridiculous, and it couldn't happen to a nicer bunch of gays, I mean guys.

It seems that Jason Giambi of the New York Yankees has a "magic"
golden thong he wears whenever he's in a hitting slump, much like 'Nuke' LaLoosh in the movie Bull Durham. And to make matters even more unmanly, he has often left said undergarment in the lockers of teammates in similar straits. Reportedly including, Johnny Damon, Derek Jeter, and Bernie Williams among others. Alex Rodriguez probably has his own collection, perhaps one for each day? They seem to get lost about October though.

Do you suppose they wash the thing before passing it around? And given that Giambi was a juicer, do you think it was a small to allow for shrinkage? The most disturbing thing for me personally is that one of the users was reported to be Robinson Cano, a member of my fantasy team. I feel dirty typing that.

As a Red Sox fan I am proud of the fact that even in our darkest moments of the past, our players never resorted to wearing lingerie.
