Courtesy of TheDirty.com and their report that exposes MLB players and their dirty ways. Turns out the Giles bros like to drop a lot of cash on drinks and skanks. Read more at The Dirty to find out how BG tried to slump bust in March.
The Dirty (some content/ads NSFW):
Brian Giles had pulled out his big bat (AMEX Black Card) to pay for the $12k Bourbon experience.
Brian and Marcus didn’t want to stop the party there. They solicited Chanel St. James and Claudia Valentine to help them shag balls in some extra innings. Add another $10k in the form of a personal check (as pictured) for the off-field activities. They all met back at the hotel where the World Series began.

Those AmEx
black cards are apparently like the most difficult status symbol in the world to attain. They have a yearly fee of over $100,000 and celebs literally beg AmEx to issue them. I’m actually pretty surprised Giles has one of these, as AmEx very carefully plots out who they provide these cards to.

AmEx is full of crap
They’ve tried to perpetuate that myth, but its not true. If you’ve got the money, you can get one. They started out that way – really difficult to obtain – but once the demand for them went up and they realized people would pay the yearly fee, they started handing them out like candy.

LOL
It’s a brilliant marketing technique on AmEx’s part. But I think they found it difficult to turn away anyone who was willing to fork over 100K annually.

its not 100K annually
you just need to have a certain percentage of volume. I met someone who had one and was talking to him about it, he said that they waive his annual fee but he spends 50K+ a month on the card. I got to touch it, its not made of plastic but some other exotic material.

Yeah
I think you have to spend like 250K annually on it or somewhere in that neighborhood.

What is the incentive
to paying 100,000 just to have this card? The prestige?

What a stupid website
You would have to be 13 or younger to even take that site serioulsy.
Oh, and is that breaking news? I’m sure that stuff like that happens every single day of the year with professional athletes.

I know, huh.
This is like the National Enquirer of SB Nation sites. Half of the time we’re talking about about whether or not Justin Huber is married or looking at photos of Kouz making out with hot chicks.

AMEX Black
was designed for whores and booze. Giles FTW!

Is anyone surprised
that Giles didn’t hire at least ONE male prostitute?
Fred Garvin must be pisssssssssssed.

Hey
I thought this was a family blog. And anyway, who cares? The only thing trashier than what they were doing is talking about it.

About the Giles bros?
...Or about the illegitimate Arizona spawn and their hardworking mothers? At least we have something to talk about, because last night’s game doesn’t make for very good conversation.

I think what's most offensive
is the egregious use of hackneyed baseball-as-sex metaphors. It’s disgusting, really.
by Dalton on Jun 11, 2008 2:10 PM PDT reply actions 0 recs
Most offensive to me
The pictures of the whores are too small.

So rec'd
I would’ve appreciated more content. Start by including more pics of the whores, especially in provocative poses.

and naked
of course.

Update
Just heard Nik Richie (owner of The Dirty) on the radio describing some more details about brothers Giles. He said that the reason the checks came to surface was because the Pimp that controlled the prostitutes was upset with Brian because Brian fell in love with the call girl and took her away from the “life”. Apparently the girl, and her kid, are living with Giles now. The pimp thought he’d get some revenge for stealing away his girl.
He also dropped a hint that Luis Gonzalez is the next one to be outed.
A funny aside, Richie was on NPR with Buzz Bissinger, and they got into (surprise)...Richie called Buzz, “Mr. VHS” and told him to stay out of the BluRay world.
