 There are many legends in the world of baseball and there are also many superstitions. But the most hysterical one I came across today was the “golden thong.” That’s right the legend of the tiger striped gold thong! It’s a little sliver of material that has joined the jockstraps of many of the Yankees. And who does it belong to? Well the Big G himself Jason Giambi.

Jason said to Franz Lidz of Portfolio.com that he wears the thong to get out of hitting slumps. He also said that he passes the thong around to his teammates for a little luck. And who’s been lucky enough to feel the tight burn of glitter on their groins? Well that’d be Bernie Williams, Derek Jeter, Robin Ventura, Johnny Damon, and Robinson Cano. And those are the only names that Jason spilled!

Now clearly Jason was wearing the tiger striped golden-lame’ loin cloth because he was 2 for 4 with a HR today versus the cross-town rivals the New York Mets, thus bringing his batting average to a whooping .193! Maybe the Yankees should consider that they buy a team shipment of Gold thongs so they all can recover from respected slumps! It’s not coaching, conditioning, or psychiatry … all you need to turn your season around is one of these bad boys, you knew!

ps- yes the photo above is photoshopped! the chick can work many wonders, but getting a pic of Giambi in a thong is no easy task!!

 In a world full of Brangelina, Bennifer, and TomKat, my favorite Yoko Romo is caput! That’s right! Jessica Simpson and Tony Romo have OFFICIALLY split! Now everyone can go place your Super Bowl bets on Dallas this year!

Looks like Romo got the chills when Jess referred to him as her “future husband” in a recent Glamour magazine article.

Rule #725 in dating a sports star: don’t ever ever refer to your bachelor hunky boyfriend as your “future husband.” Dummy!

 A former agent/friend of OJ Simpson, Mike Gilbert, has a new book coming out. In “How I Helped O.J. Get Away With Murder: The Shocking Inside Story of Violence, Loyalty, Regret and Remorse” Gilbert tells the story of how OJ somewhat confessed. Gilbert says that during a drunken-high night after the trial OJ solemnly admitted to Gilbert that he DID kill his ex-wife Nicole Brown Simpson. ESPN.com reports,

“He said Simpson had smoked pot, took a sleeping pill and was drinking beer when he confided at his Brentwood home weeks after his trial what happened the night of June 12, 1994. Simpson said he went to his ex-wife’s condominium, but did not bring a knife with him. Simpson told him Nicole Brown Simpson had one in her hand when she opened the door.

In a soft mumble, Simpson told him: ‘If she hadn’t opened that door with a knife in her hand … she’d still be alive.’

‘Nothing more needed to be said,’ Gilbert writes. ‘O.J. had confessed to me. There’s no doubt in my mind.’

Nicole Brown Simpson and her friend Ronald Goldman were stabbed to death at the entrance to her condominium. The knife was never found.”

Gilbert also states in his book that OJ also admitted that he found a way to bloat his hands before the infamous glove incident at the 1994 trial.

OJ Simpson’s lawyer, Yale Galanter, stated “[Gilbert is] a delusional drug addict who needs money. He’s fallen on very hard times. He is in trouble with the IRS.”

 Deadspin had a funny post today about Derek Jeter and his vast love life. It seems that Jeet has been romantically involved with (**I don’t say linked because I believe everything I read ) 6 of the top sexiest women in Maxim’s Top 100. So I genuinely feel sorry for all you guys out there you strive to be The Captain, because be honest can the guy do any wrong?

Oh ps- To relate to all the guys out there, how unfair is Jessica Beil? She goes from Jeter to Justin Timberlake!!! WTF?!?! Spread the wealth hunny!!

 God people love a conspiracy! It was made public late last night that Tiger Woods is undergoing athroscopic knee surgery just a few days after he finished runner-up to some South Africian guy we all have never heard of (sorry, Trevor Immelman)! Now, some people are speculating that IF Tiger were to be in perfect health during the Master’s, then he would have easily beat the South African dude (again, sorry Trevor). PEOPLE!! Tiger was hurt, he lost, the no-name won!!! Get over it Augusta oldies!!! Click below for the full, but tiny, report.

ps- I heard on ESPN’s PTI today that Detroit Tigers (i guess i’m in a Tiger mood today! ) skipper, Jim Leyland, has playing Augusta on his “Things to Do Before I Die List.” It makes me think, what would I put on my list???

So one of my favorite websites On The DL is FINALLY back posting their scandalous blind items! This one caught my eye immediately and if you read this blog often, then you know why! Enjoy -Chicky

 oh! ps- visit Trixie and the girls of On The DL here!

Crossword Time:
1 Across: Nine-letters; emotional pain or distress brought on by a recent breakup

The two sexy pitchers (one of them cute and boyish, the other seasoned and handsome) featured in this item play for the same AL East team. Our insider tells us that they’re good friends, with one of them serving as a mentor to the other. Both have suffered relatively recent breakups with their significant others; the older with his illicit mistress and the younger with his girlfriend. Supposedly, the recent decline of the grizzled veteran’s skills is not only due to aging, but also due to his heartache over losing his long-time woman on the side (we were the first to report this relationship years ago). On the other hand, the younger pitcher is harnessing the despair from his own breakup, caused in part by problems between his over-bearing mother and gorgeous ex, and transforming it into positive energy. He looks more ready than ever to take on other teams and finally lead his boys to their first title in a handful of years.

Just who is our *Heartache* Duo? That’s for you to figure out!

 Tiger Woods has just signed a new deal with Gatorade to develop his own sports drink. His compensation for the new deal is … $100 MILLION!

The 2005 Yankee season has been over for 2 years now. But did you know that they had players such as Johnny Drama, Simon Phoenix, Bruce Almighty, Ricky Ricardo, Joe Saturday, Sam Adams, Richard Long, Turd Ferguson, and Austin Powers playing for them? It’s true according to Seattle Hotel records!

Right now the face of Cleveland sports is Cavaliers superstar LeBron James. However, when the Cleveland Indians faced the New York Yankees last night King James was wearing the interlocking N Y on his navy blue cap. Yup that’s right, he was wearing a Yankee hat! LeBron said that he wore the hat because he’s a huge Yankee/Derek Jeter fan and always will be. Unforunately for LeBron the Yanks got hammered and he was heckled all the way home. (more…)

When the New York Post broke the Strippergate Scandal this summer everyone assumed that it would be a distraction for Third Baseman Alex Rodriguez, and more importantly the New York Yankees. But that all turned out to be false! When Stripper Jocelyn Morse was revealed as the women with the Yankee Slugger in Toronto everyone was shocked, but I wasn’t! I knew for weeks about the affair thanks to my girls at On The DL. One blogger on the infamous baseball groupie site even posted that there was a rumor that A-Rod’s Wifey was trying to get pregnant to keep Alex close. Well it worked! Wifey, Cynthia, is preggers with baby #2 due in the Spring. If you do the math correctly then you can figure when she got pregnant … RIGHT AFTER STRIPPERGATE BROKE!! Clearly the scandal didn’t cause as much as a ruckus then people expected, because A-Rod is well on the way to a third AL MVP, and the Yanks made the playoffs. Can a World Series Title cap off a great year for A-Rod? I hope so! (more…)
