State Trooper Giambi makes triumphant return

This shot from Camden Yards last night confirms the rumors that have been circulating throughout all of baseball -- State Trooper Giambi is back.

This time the eccentric, no nonsense cop is sporting shorter locks to go along with his mustache, and without those customary aviators on, he's looking less like a statie and more like Sean Penn after eating Robert Duvall in the sequel to Colors.

Johnny Damon is doing an excellent job here of playing the unintelligible sidekick who is too mentally scarred to look up and make eye contact, but provides the necessary muscle when needed; especially if you touch his only loyal friend, State Trooper Giambi.

Sidenote:  The 2008 State Trooper Giambi is doing something that the 2007 version couldn't do, actually hit, which is leading to fewer unwarranted tickets at first base.
