I don't think Mattingly would be doing a better job. I think the Yankees would be in the same place under him. I just like it when the jerks of the world go down in flames. I always enjoyed it when someone got the better of that cheap shot artist Billy Martin. I don't put Girardi in Martin's category of jerk, but he also has not had Martin's success yet. Martin was a jerk, but he was a winner. He was a major jerk. He didn't have to transform to easy-going, but I believe that if he dialed it back just a bit, he would have still been fiery and much more successful. He was often out of control in his personal and professional lives. That is never a good thing.
