The Other Way

I just saw Jason Giambi take Al Leiter deep to the opposite field. This is the second time in recent weeks where I saw Giambi homer into the monuments. Last year, Giambi hit five of his 41 HR to the left of second base. This year, he's hit 7 of 22 there. I wonder if the eye problem or the shift has caused him to make an adjustment to take outside pitches the other way? If so, he may have become an even more dangerous hitter, as he now showing power as well to the opposite field.

Matsui and Posada also homered in the inning, giving the Yankees a 5-3 lead.
