You Call that a Slump Buster?


Ew.Jason Giambi is not afraid to show his feminine side.

The New York Yankees’ first baseman let a little secret out Saturday when the Daily News wondered how he plans out getting out of his current slump, where he is batting just .181.

He wears a gold thong under his uniform.

This story only gets weirder when several teammates acknowledged trying to wear it, too, including Derek Jeter and Johnny Damon.

"Giambi’s a little freaky," said New York Mets skipper Willie Randolph before the Subway series. "I wouldn’t go there."

Some sources believe the thong came from an actual slump buster in 2005, when the Giambino won the Comeback Player of the Year award.

Then again, it takes a man, or something, to admit that sort of thing.

Either way, I'm not sure anyone needed to know about it.

Well, it's obviously not working now. Time to move to hot pink panties I guess.

They all tried wearing the same one??

When your thong hits the warning track, it's time to hang it up...

1. They don't wash it.
2. A-rod has been trying to steal it after he heard that Jeter wore it.

It worked in "Bull Durham".

I guess it is better than the blow-up doll thing.

Maybe he could start taking batting practice in the nude instead? After all, it worked for Mike Redmond.
