Luca: "but he was flailing his arms giving the slide signal but Giambi ignored him or didn't hear his yells...he said he saw the whole scene in slo-mo but couldn't get Giambi's attention."
Thanks for posting that. I never heard that before. Giambi was out in space coming down that third base line. I think the play caught him completely off guard.
And BTW, considering the fact that Posada didn't miss the tag (we know this right?), then that picture depicts it perfectly: OUT! The question was if Posada tagged him late, not if he missed it.

I still think he would have been out had he slid.
I think that would have slowed him down a bit. |

Quite possible...should have lowered the shoulder.
But hindsight always makes for easy decisions...

That is true.
Still doesn't change the fact that some "dudes" and I use that term VERY loosely, on this site watch American Idol.  |

The flip was a great play. He was even aware enough to block the photographer's view of the tag after he tossed the ball to the catcher. 
The dive is overrated. He caught the ball a long ways from the stands.

Couldn't agree more with that statement Bill.
"Ooooh look at me with my bloddy chin from diving into the stands, I'm such a tough guy, blah, blah, blah."
The press is so in love with him I can't believe they don't do daily reports on his bowel movements.
