MLB: Giambi to be suspended next week if he does not cooperate with Mitchell investigation
From USA Today and ESPN Radio:
"Commissioner Bud Selig is heading toward suspending Jason Giambi next week if the New York Yankees slugger does not cooperate with former Sen. George Mitchell's investigation on steroid use, according to a high-ranking Major League Baseball official."
"The official, who talked with Selig but has not been granted permission to speak publicly because of ongoing talks, said Selig wants Giambi's decision by Tuesday."

While I assume this would be overturned through appeal, what kind of nonsense is this? Bud Selig should be horsewhipped...

After all these months, Mitchell has
On the bright side, maybe the Yankees can save some payroll while Giambi rehabs. And as long as Cairo continues to bat over .350, who cares what happens to Giambi? (Joke Alert!)

buster olney was right about this: MLB should just declare amnesty from this point back, then go zero-tolerance from this point forward. that's the only way to eradicate this problem and get the focus back on the field.

Selig should be the first in line
Selig reminds me of the kid in school who instigates some chaos and then steps away and lets everyone else get nabbed. I regularly beat the crap outta' kids like that.
Bring on Selig.
It seems
That time in MLB history, people lost alot of interest in the game. So why would he want to stop people from coming to the parks. Let em do steroids he thinks ,the game will gain popularity and everyone will make money. I am not saying that I agree with Selig on anything, I think the guy is a moron. But he is the one to blame for letting it go on for as long as it did. And he wants to be the one who made baseball popular again, so he is trying to go back and clean up his own mess.
Which isn't going to work. Everyone knows he did nothing about roids for years. Yes the players are to blame, however Selig played dumb and did nothing. And looks even more dumb by going on his little witch hunt for steroid users he most likely knew about back then. How do we get this guy canned and who is the future commish going to be?

I've been to Cuba
Give it time, Fidel won't last forever.
The odds of me dating Jessica Alba
That may be the most absurd rumor I've ever heard.
Funny thing ...
The whole time I'm with her (and she is smokin' hot) I'm thinking I've got a shot. I mean, I'm a decent looking guy (6-2, 220), I even found myself plotting ways to dump my wife if Jess (that's what she insisted I call her) suddenly gave me the signal.
Alas, it was a fun afternoon ... but I'm back with my wife, and Jessica is a celluloid dream.
You must've really been around the block
Kudos.
With all due respect to the Captain, Alba is the hottest Jessica in Hollywood.
Lived alot ... and got lucky
Funny, but I sincerely thought I had a shot. Whadda' moron.
What Minor League

Sure
When you are in the minors, you are a piece of meat. I was released following the injury.
I would figure..

Baseball needs a Chelios
That's exactly what Selig needs a good ass kicking. Giambi should say "You want to know what steroids did to my muscles? Come over here and I'll show you first hand."
If a man ran MLB he'd give amnesty to all abuser pre-2003 and instill highly regimented system to catch all forms of cheating in MLB from now on.

JEEBUS!!
Also, I keep reading pseudo-macho loudmouths defending Giambi, yet the poll here on the site shows that the vast majority of those polled think the Yanks are better without him. Does it occur to any of you brilliant sports minds that all your blustering, insulting, bullying and threatening have not helped your position become the most popular one? You call people stupid for stating that the Yanks are better off without Giambroid, yet you're in the minority opinion here on this very site. In other words, you are calling the (silent) majority of people who visit here stupid because they're not afraid to admit the obvious.
You live in a state of denial and you get really cranky when people point that out to you.
Now threaten to "body-slam" me and convince even more people that you're ignorant boobs.

Great post, moron.
What will he get by Giambi here, NOTHING! Everyone knows he did roids, he admitted to doing roids. If anything, Selig/Mitchell should spend their time on trying to find other people.
This investigation so far has cost almost $30 million. You are telling me for $30 million they have found out Giambi did steroids. Thats awesome.
By the way, you are a moron.
I hope Selig tries to suspend him

Too be fair,
Oh, no doubt
Either way, it's not the right decision.

due to the long ball
Also Bud has benefitted from a lot the work that individual teams have done, I'm thinking of a particular team but can't remember their name.
If the Yankees and Red Sox weren't so well run during the last decade plus the MLB would be looking bad right now.
