Don't believe me? Just have a look at this. WARNING: Nightmare fuel prominent throughout this post.

So the White Sox have their blowup dolls as a means to slump bust and Jason Giambi has his uhhh.... thongs!?

Yankee slugger Jason Giambi wears a gold lamé, tiger-stripe thong under his uniform when he wants to break out of a slump - and he shares it with hitless teammates who want to get back on track.

"I only put it on when I'm desperate to get out of a big slump," he tells Portfolio.com.

Over the years, the 37-year-old All-Star has left the "golden thong" in the lockers of slumping teammates Derek Jeter, Bernie Williams, Johnny Damon,Robin Ventura and Robinson Cano.

"All of them wore it and got hits," he reports. "The thong works every time.

Hrmmmmfff. Excuse me I need to clean up all the vomit.

Say it ain't so, Derek! Really? You wore a mong... that somebody else wore? I thought the blowup doll thing was over the top but it clearly has the advantage over SHARING UNDERWEAR WITH YOUR TEAMMATES. This is just so fucking gross I don't even have the words to elaborate. Also, it clearly isn't working because the Yankees still suck and Giambi still can't hit for shit. Please try a different pattern, Jason, the tiger stripes must have lost their charm. Or better yet, don't fucking do it all and just swing the bat better. I don't want to have to think about this image every time your at the plate.
