Did You Support The Stache??

I found it pretty cool how the Yankees had an impromptu giveaway day on June 9th when they gave the first 20,000 fans in attendence Jason Giambi replica mustaches. The campaign was part of the Yankees' "Support the Stache" campaign to get fans to vote in first baseman Jason Giambi for the final All Star spot in Tuesday's Mid-Season Classic.

I supported the stache campaign by voting for him about 60 times on MLB.com. Did you Support the Stache? ...

Because you did not Support the Stache, Jason Giambi was not voted in as the final All Star.

Instead, the honor went to Evan "not Eva" Longoria.

Now I may be "Desperate", but I think that this is a great injustice...

Let's compare the cold, hard stats:

• Giambi: .257 AVG, 18 HR, 54 RBI, 45 Runs, 44 BBs, 47 Ks, .534 SLG, .394 OBP
• Longoria: .281 AVG, 16 HRs, 53 RBIs, 44 Runs, 33 BBs, 76 Ks, .527 SLG, .352 OBP

While Giambi is 24 points below Longoria in average, he's beating him in every other category. He also has multiple game winning hits for the Yankees this season and he has pretty much been the team's most valuable player this season.

I have no doubt that Longoria defeated Giambi in the final All-Star fan voting because Giambi admitted that he used steroid and human growth hormone in the past. (and also because some girls voted for him because they thought he was related to Eva.)

The simple fact that Giambi didn't lie about his drug usage to the grand jury (like Bonds did), admitted to the NY media that he used it and has asked for forgiveness to the public should have been enough for people to forgive his mistakes.

Who among us hasn't made mistakes?

And who among us didn't Support the Stache...? (you hairless lip freaks)...
