The Yankees continue to lose and currently they sit 9 1/2 games behind the surging Red Sox, but apparently that hasn't stopped them from having plenty of free time to shoot out some interesting quotes to the media.

Giambi: The Juice Was No Use
The Hall-of-Fame would disagree, Jason. Not to mention the rest of America.
Giambi Wants Apology, MLB Listening?
Jason Giambi came out and said that Major League Baseball needs to apologize to the American public for the current steroid problem.
"Steroids and all of that was a part of history. But it was a topic that everybody wanted to avoid. Nobody wanted to talk about it," said Giambi who admitted in 2003 that he had used performance inhancers in his career.

Joe Girardi: New Manager of The Yankees?
Each time talk heats up about Joe Torre being fired, the name that most comes up as a replacement is Joe Girardi's. It won't happen:

If you'll recall, in the 1980s, no one in New York gave a hoot about the team from the Bronx. Most likely it's too early for all of this talk, but it's fun nonetheless.
