Stellar company

Jason Giambi just hit a solo HR into the lower level of the right field stands at The Stadium. That was his 13th for the month of July. The last time a Yankee hit that many homeruns in a month?

July 1961.

14 by Mickey Mantle.

13 by Roger Maris.

Very nice.

Now where are those idiots who earlier in the season thought Giambi might be done?

UPDATE, about four hours later: Giambi would hit his 14th of the month in the seventh inning; 300 for his career.

And the Yankees would win in the 11th with a base hit by my usual bête noir, scording Matsui who'd led off the inning with a triple. The Yankees rallied from a four-run deficit after seven to go on and win the game for the second day in a row. Especially satisfying as they came against the Halo'd ones. In yesterday's game, it was Godzilla who got the game winning RBIs.
