Yankees slugger Jason Giambi was out of the starting lineup Wednesday night and went to a hospital for more tests on his bruised right foot. Giambi Giambi was hit by a pitch from Baltimore's Daniel Cabrera in the second inning of New York's 8-5 win Monday night. The designated hitter stayed in but was lifted for a pinch runner in the eighth after his third walk of the game. Manager Joe Torre said he was going to start Giambi at first base Tuesday but the foot was still bothering him. X-rays were negative. "Hopefully, it's just a bruise, because that's what was diagnosed originally," Torre said before the Yankees faced the Orioles on Wednesday night. The 2000 AL MVP with Oakland, Giambi missed more than two months this season because of torn tissue in his left foot. He began the day batting .243 with 14 homers and 35 RBIs in 74 games. Doug Mientkiewicz started at first base and Shelley Duncan was the designated hitter for the finale of the three-game series against Baltimore.

awwwww. Guess you need to shoot up again. Get the roids back in your system and you will feel no pain. I kind of enjoy this, players that are off the juice are much easier getting hurt.

Looks like it's that time of the year when twinsfan gives up on his own team and becomes nothing but a Yankee hater.

Oh wait, that's every time.
