The New York tabloids are reporting today that Jason Giambi wears a gold lame thong to get him out of a slump. Apparently, he's passed it around to Derek Jeter and Johnny Damon when their bats have not risen to the occasion.
Here's the article in today's Daily News:

Full Version: NY Yankee Jason Giambi's Good Luck Charm
It's nice to see that these athletes can be honest enough to be in touch w/ their inner homoness. 
Actually, I could never see myself wearing something like that. Not only because it's golden lame
but also because it's a thong. Talk about uncomfortable.

A reporter asked Jorge Posada, if Giambi washes it before giving it to the next guy. Posada reacted with a visible shudder, "Ask Jason."
Oh I know thats why he wears it. I just think that I would be in such discomfort that I wouldn't be able to even think about swinging the bat. I'd be thinking, "Get this mofo off me."

You gotta love it when straight macho guys are caught w/ doin something that they would never dare admit to. Talk about an ego-blower.

Yankee outfielder Bobby Abreu recoiled and threw his arms up in the air when a reporter waved a variation of Giambi's shiny underwear in his face.
"I don't know anything about that," Abreu insisted, though his bulging eyes said otherwise.
The question that appeared to get Abreu's boxers in a bunch made Mets catcher Brian Schneider chuckle before last night's Subway Series opener was rained out.

If he wants to hit better, couldn't he just take steroids instead and...oops, he's already tried that...
Would've loooved to see ubersexy Robin Ventura in it when he borrowed it...
This is funny, on ESPN radio this morning Greeny was telling Mike Golic, that there is no way the Johnny Damon could wear that after Giambi, had it on. He said have you seen Giambi's tuccus? It would fall right down on Damon.
