There are times I'm legitimately surprised at how there is absolutely nobody out there who thinks Jason Giambi is anything other than a great guy, albeit a great guy who screwed up. But it was truly cool after Giambi's monster walkoff the other night when Jeter, A-Rod, and Bernie all took the time after the celebration at home plate to take him aside for a hug and some words. Giambi may be on his way down (which I would actually argue at this point - since mid-May, he's something like .290/.420/.450), but moments like that make me proud to be watching.
Kind of started rambling there. As for the rest, I agree that one meeting doesn't necessarily mean anything, of course. I just figured I'd toss out the story. Of course, when info does seem to coincide with what everyone else says (Garcia as prick or Giambi as nice guy), it's a little easier for it to have an effect on our view of the player.
