Testify!

Batgirl's intern has found some of Jason "Word Smith" Giambi's actual testimony, courtesy of The Chronicle

Giambi also described for the grand jury how he had injected the testosterone and human growth hormone, which he said Anderson told him he could provide if Giambi couldn't get it elsewhere.

The growth hormone was taken "subcutaneous ... so like you would pinch the fat on your stomach" and inject the substance just below the skin, Giambi testified.

Asked whether the same were true for testosterone, Giambi told the prosecutor that it called for a regular injection.

"So, you would put it in your arm?" Nedrow asked.

"No, you wouldn't," Giambi said. "You'd put it in your ass."

I especially liked the part about
"You'd put it in your ass."

Truer words have never been spoken. Does anyone else imagine Giambi partially turning in his seat on the witness stand and pointing at said area?

Answers soooooo many questions about the Yankees!

"Answers soooooo many questions about the Yankees!"

No it doesn't. He started back in Oakland, and Bonds plays in SF.

Man I hope this doesn't turn into a bash the Yankees session

That was seriously the funniest thing I have read in a while! Way to make it clear, Giambi!

lmfao, that is awesome. I didn't believe he actually said that till good old stacy pointed it out to me.

Ummmm, I guess what I've learned more than anything out of this is that ol Jason is quite the detail oriented guy.

Thanks to Espn Radio.. I guess Bonds also testified [article at sfgate.com] but unknowingly thought it was "flax seed oil". Thanks Balco boys... times like these I need all this amusement!

Mike,
I wasn't intending to create a Yankee-bashing session. It was definitely not my intention. They have a high payroll because they are successful and can afford good players. It's unfortunate ANY player resorts to steroids.
Is anyone else concerned of a drug called "the cream"??

"Is anyone else concerned of a drug called "the cream"??"

Probably similar to the Drug called The Pill. ;-)

Sorry, couldn't resist!
