One moment, you're crying and cursing out for blowing the game by giving up two home runs. The next moment, you're crying and hugging the person in the seat next to you, or hugging and dancing with your brother or your wife or maybe just your dog: , old man Giambi,<a name="http://dayconstruction.com/projects_discount-authentic-nfl-jerseys.html">discount nba jerseys</a>, just hit a dramatic, walk-off, two-run, emotionally draining home run to help get your one game closer to the playoffs. Or maybe you're not an Indians fan. Maybe you're just a baseball fan,[http://dayconstruction.com/projects_discount-authentic-nfl-jerseys.html <strike>discount football jerseys</strike>], rooting for drama and surprise and fantastical things. Giambi's home run was all of those. Considering the circumstances, it was the game of the year so far: the Indians going from a heartbreaking blown lead in the top of the ninth to Giambi swatting a two-out, pinch-hit home run to and stun -- in a deliciously good way -- a Cleveland fan base that has understandably grown accustomed to expecting the worst kind of misery, no matter the sport. [+] EnlargeJason Miller/Getty ImagesJason Giambi's blast might be his last, but it's one to remember.But it happened. Believe it, Cleveland. Terry Francona sent up .177-hitting, gray-haired, one-homer-since-July Jason Giambi to do one thing, and Giambi did it, belting a 1-1 slider from deep to right field. Maybe it's difficult to get sentimental over a player like Giambi, with his steroids-stained past, but call me sentimental: It was one final great moment from a player I've always enjoyed watching. It very well may be the last home run Giambi ever hits in the major leagues, and if so, what a way to go out. The Indians could still miss the playoffs, or they could make the wild-card game and lose it, or maybe Giambi doesn't even make the postseason roster (he'd had just 19 plate appearances in September before Tuesday). Maybe Reed shouldn't have thrown that 1-1 slider; Giambi's bat speed obviously isn't what it was during his MVP days with the A's,[http://www.brighthope.com.au/en/forum.php?mod=viewthread&tid=41019&extra= Report- Chargers LB Manti Te’o to make NFL debut Sunday vs. Cowboys]
