I'm jealous of those Jason Giambi bobble heads they were passing out
yesterday, a month after they dumped him. That was quite hilarious. You
must be really suck to be released by a last place team in midseason. Then
they have a bobble head day for him. That's like adding insult to injury.
:-D

I was assuming that Jason Giambi bobble head day was the As way of
saying farewell to him, like a retirement party.

Should have sent all the bobbleheads to Colorado Springs.....Gman signed
a minor league contract with the Rockies.Just admit your career is over
and ease on down the road.

When the A's play the Angels, why don't the Angels fans chant "Beat Oak
(land)/A's", and why don't the A's fans chant "Beat LA/California/
Aniheim/Angels"?
