		<description>So again, commentary from non-Yankee fans is unwelcome.  Change the Standards, Steve!</description>

		<description>That Giambi is injury prone is obvious. We don&#039;t need a Sox fan to tell us that. That&#039;s why he is a troll.</description>

		<description>Even if what the person is saying is true?  Last time I checked, Giambi was brittle.

I have to disagree with you on this one.

If a Sox fan posts something here along the lines of...and coming out of the blue...with comments like &quot;Yankees choked in &#039;04 and have been choking ever since&quot; or &quot;All Yankees fans are spoiled&quot; or &quot;Hey Yankees fans, how many rings have you won since 2004?&quot;  Sure, THAT, I can see as someone being a troll - looking to start trouble.

But, I&#039;m not seeing that here.

Granted, saying &quot;Oh blow it out your ass&quot; is not acceptable.  But, then again, saying &quot;Thanks for giving us that all-important Sox point of view, which was not asked for&quot; is rude as well.  That&#039;s why I&#039;m asking EVERYONE here to read the Community Standards and to follow them...or lose their rights to post here.

And, this is the last I will comment on this topic.</description>

		<description>With all due respect, comparing someone who had cancer to someone as injury prone as Giambi is somewhat wrong, IMHO.

Now, J.D. Drew, well, that would be a good comp for Giambi....</description>

		<description>Joel Sherman is a mediot.

Giambi and Lester&#039;s situations are exactly the same in terms of how it affects fans and the games they watch, that is, recurrence or re-injury would cause each player to miss games and impact their team&#039;s chances of winning.

Doctors are wrong so often it&#039;s comical.

Next time you bring up Yankee injuries, it&#039;s fair to bring up Lester, and I will.</description>

		<description>he brought up Giambi’s propensity for injuries. That’s like one of us going to a Sox blog and bringing up the recurrence rates for Lester’s physical problems.
_______________________________

It just so happens that Post blogger Sherman talked about Giambi&#039;s latest resurgence and what thought came into his head?  The likelihood it would end when he gets injured.  Its a concern every Yankee fan has and you are just pissed because it came from a Red Sox fan!

And it is not remotely the same as talking about Lester&#039;s chance of a recurrence of cancer.  That chance is vanishingly small, according to his doctors.

Is the chance of Giambi being injured the same?  Or is it the exact opposite:  the odds are vanishingly small that Giambi will play the rest of the season without injury.</description>
