It would be nice to see Tek hit one out
-
Drew wants that pitch back.
-
The Yankees would get better if Melky went on the DL.
-
Is Beckett getting squeezed?
-
Ellsbury is a tremendous athletic talent.

I stand by my opinion. I think you are over-analyzing this event. Girardi was reacting emotionally and was not applying any carefully considered or studied style of management. In short, he got pissed. I have had plenty of managers who unsuccessfully employed that style. -
Have you ever seen a ball sit on the top of the wall like that and come back into the park? Damon gave up the body on that play. Maybe Girardi should not have inspired Damon so much. He is one of the yankees that did not need to be inspired to play hard.

Love that speed. Beautiful bunt hit by jacoby.
-
Okay, it is time for the top of our lineup to beat up Rasner.
-
It would be nice to win today's game. I don't have much confidence in masterson against the Yankee lefties tomorrow.

Bill, you are way out on a limb with this analogy to military management. This is not the military. Individually the Yankees are not failing to perform. Most of their veterans are having good years. Damon, ARod, Giambi, Abreu, Posada, Mo, and Moose are all performing at or above expectations. They are performing. The Yankees are just not winning enough. Because they are performing, Joe Girardi cannot hurt their earning ability. The theoretical underpinnings of this coercive style do not have any application to this situation.

He wasn't the right manager for the '78 team. For all the talented Yankee teams that he managed, he only won one world championship. I don't think that is anything to squawk about Jayhawk. He had the skill set to teach young inexperienced players and to intimidate them into over-performing, but let's not forget how he wrecked that young A's staff by reckless overuse. Veteran teams did not respond very well to him.

I thought this was surprising despite his struggles at the plate. http://sports.yahoo.com/mlb/news?slug=ap-braves-francoeur&prov=ap&type=lgns

He had his moments (winning a championship in 1977) while being fired 5 times. He probably would have been much more successful if he hadn't been such a dick. He probably would have been the manager in 1978 for the second championship and he might have gotten fired a few less times.

Girardi had a half hour closed door session with his team and then acted like a royal ass having a hissy fit during his press conference. It was a real douche bag performance. I find it curious thta he picked tonight to throw a hissy fit. His most reliable starter had a bad night, and his offense ran up against the Red Sox hottest and possibly best pitcher. The World Champs and their hottest pitcher beat his team, so what the f*** was his problem. I'm sure he beat his team up for not making Lester throw more pitches, so if the Sox coaching staff and Beckett are smart the game plan tomorrow should include first pitch 95 mph fastball strikes. Edit: Like I have said from the beginning, he's a dick.

What a beautiful game pitched by Lester. When there was the occasional base runner, he threw a DP ball.
-
They are sending Lester out for the CG.
-
Let Timlin pitch the 9th.
-
A hit and an RBI for Varitek! To quote Jack Buck. I don't believe what I just saw.
-
He said the ball hit off the wall.
-
Posada is complaining like a **** after being robbed by Drew.
-
What a play by Drew! He gets back to the wall just as the ball comes down aqnd basically puts his glove between the wall and the ball at the last split second.

I guess the Yankee fan members of this site are hiding and they will come out like trolls.
