The Newark Star Ledger is reporting that Giambi is being tested for a potentially fatal condition sometimes caused by internal parasites and could miss the rest of the season.The newspaper reported that Giambi, who last played in Friday?s 8-7 win over the Boston Red Sox, will return to New York on Tuesday for further tests.

 

Giambi?s trainer, Bob Alejo, told the newspaper that Giambi is being tested for a parasite called entamoeba histolytica, which can be transmitted through water and food and get embedded in the intentistal lining, making it difficult to detect. ?He told me, ?I don?t care about hitting .220, I just want to feel better,?", Alejo told Newsday. ?He?s exhausted, and it?s not getting any better.? - From Sports Ticker

luckily brown has regained all his weight, so i guess he hass no killer parasite

what the hell is in the water at Yankee stadium?

I just drank a mexican pepsi...will i get what giambi has?

Ouch. I hope he'll be okay.

I didn't like Giambi how he sold out, and the thought of roids bothers me, tambien, but I hope he's allright, he seems like a nice guy.

damn thats pretty scary. makes you think twice next time you drink from a water fountain.....

i doubt its at a deadly stage though, almost anything that goes untreated could become deadly. most people that die from something like this is probably poor people in 3rd world countries. so i dont think its serious to that extent for giambi.

i hope he and his 15 inch forehead and bulging eyesballs are ok.

i'm telling you guys, they are covering up a major coke problem

I'm his dealer...duh!

 

I'm just talking about his family's background of drug problems, the crazed eyeballs poking out look of his eyes, and a sudden and dramatic decline of skill (like strawberry.)

Come on Giambi pull through, you can do it.... damn that's pretty scary, considering I just watched Cabin Fever Saturday night on Cinemax.... don't drink the water... if you've seen the movie you know what I'm talkin about

Hope he gets better soon, scary stuff.

Scary stuff for him, I hope he is ok he passed the cancer and HIV tests so taht was a positive sign.

I think they're going to diagnose him with "Steinbrenner Syndrome"

lol, tonyi said "fudgepackers"
