Yankees slugger Jason Giambi admitted to Portfolio's Franz Lidz that when he goes into a slump he wears a lucky thong. Not a jockstrap. A thong. Sometimes when other Yankees go into slumps—like Derek Jeter, Bernie Williams, Johnny Damon, Robinson Cano and Robin Ventura—they've worn his tiger-striped thong too.

And here's how the papers and blogs headlined it over the weekend:

Why a thong instead of a jockstrap? Easy, you have to have something to put in a jockstrap.

On second thought, I guess nothing makes you want to hit balls like the feel of something crawling up your ass crack.
