The Oakland A's released former Yankees Jason Giambi today (hat-tip to WasWatching.com). His body has quickly broken down, and this year he stopped hitting all together. He was hitting just .193/.332/.364 with 11 HR and 40 RBI in 83 games this season for Oakland. It's looks like this could be the end of the road for The Big G.

The A’s were quick to point out, 38 year old Jason Giambi (above) held the majors’ lowest batting average upon hitting the DL on July 20, but does a Billy Beane-run club really need to be told that batting average isn’t everything? Oakland gave Giambi his walking papers earlier today, a heartless move that’s [...]

Poor steroid abuser, Jason Giambi. He got cut by the Oakland A’s because he sucks. He had the lowest batting average in the major leagues and he’s 38. He’s old but I’m sure if he was still on the juice he’d still be good. Steroids made him and steroids ruined him. Good job nitwit.
