pk1 Posted July 27 Author Report Share Posted July 27 well it seems like the yankees are lookin to bring tino bak or maybe even delgado (shit i hope not)....if it turns out giambi will miss the remainder of the seasonI would love to have Tino back but Lou Pinnella has made it clear he wants Tino to retire as a Devil Ray. He said that Tino is very important to that ball club and would do whatever it takes to bring him back next year. They were talking about him during one of the games against the Devil Rays last week.

pk1 Posted July 28 Author Report Share Posted July 28 Which is the worst one? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Codica3 Posted July 28 Report Share Posted July 28 Which is the worst one?Most of them suck pretty bad if they're in large enough quantities. But there are tons of other reasons that a person might react more harshly to a normally mild parasitic infection, i.e. immunocompromised, allergic reaction to some of their secretions, etc..It's wierd though, most intestinal parasites are easily treatable. Parasites are a big problem overseas, especially in third world areas because they don't have the money to treat them. But I don't think $ is a problem for Giambi.

bxbomb Posted July 28 Report Share Posted July 28 BY SAM BORDENDAILY NEWS SPORTS WRITER Jason Giambi, who hopes to get some answers today, says he believes he will play for Yanks again this season. Jason Giambi's recovery from a parasite has taken much longer than anyone expected, but the Yankee first baseman hopes to get some answers today when he meets with an infectious disease specialist in New York.Giambi, who is still fatigued despite being diagnosed with the parasite on June 29, also will get the results of several blood tests today that could help determine the seriousness of his illness. One published report said Giambi was being tested for a "potentially fatal" parasite, entamoeba histolytica, but a renowned microbiologist said yesterday that was overstating the s*****ty of the condition."If he does have entamoeba histolytica, I would say that's overblown," said Dr. Philip Tierno, director of clinical microbiology and immunology at NYU Medical Center. "... Only around 4-8% of cases (are fatal) and (Giambi) could have another condition entirely."Tierno also said it's possible Giambi may not have anything more than the intestinal parasite he was initially diagnosed with, because antibiotics used to treat parasites often fail. When that happens, the prescription is simply a different antibiotic.Two Yankees officials said yesterday they had not been told that Giambi's illness was life-threatening and GM Brian Cashman said last week he believed preliminary tests showed that Giambi's body was parasite-free.While Giambi said yesterday in Toronto that he was not concerned about any serious developments in his condition because he doesn't live in a "third-world country," Tierno said entamoeba histolytica - and many other parasites - aren't uncommon in America. If diagnosed and treated, entamoeba histolytica is generally easily treated. In its rarest form, the parasite can infiltrate an organ - the liver, for example - and begin eating away, but that is extremely rare, Tierno said.As for recovery time, Giambi has said recently he thinks a stint on the disabled list could be helpful. He believes he has hurt his comeback by resting a day or two, then trying to work out and play, and thinks the DL could give him the time off he needs to regain his strength."Without knowing the extent of the problem, it's impossible to say how long or how short his recovery would take," Tierno said. "His ability to play ball will depend on what exactly his problem is."Cashman agreed with that sentiment, declining to answer questions on potential diagnoses and saying a decision on Giambi's status wouldn't be made before the Yankees review his test results today."The only people who should be talking are the professionals and Jason himself," Cashman said, perhaps making a reference to Giambi's trainer, Bob Alejo, who was quoted in the report about Giambi being tested for entamoeba histolytica."We've just got to wait for the tests to come back. Anyone else who is talking is being irresponsible," Cashman added.Giambi stressed that he believes he will play again this year. The Yankees will have a much clearer picture about exactly when that might be later today. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Codica3 Posted July 28 Report Share Posted July 28 Damn, he got like the one amoeba that's pathogenic. I wonder how many other players on the team are carrying the entamoeba trophozoites and passing on cysts.He should be fine, they can give him several medications that tend to work fairly well like metronidazole or diiodohydroxyquin. In very few cases it can turn into fatal coagulative necrosis of the liver but I don't think it'll get that bad.I'll tell you one thing though. If Giambi has entamoeba histolytica, he's got diarrhea like no other. Ewwies. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Codica3 Posted July 28 Report Share Posted July 28 P.S. Entamoeba histolytica is transmitted via cysts in feces. So it wasn't sushi from Japan that made him sick. It would have had to been something like a dirty house fly landing on his food and transmitting the cysts, him not washing his hands after he dropped a load and then eating, or him eating uncleaned vegetation that was grown in infected feces. So they should probally stop trying to blame everything on Japan. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
