Good to see you Jackson.

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. -
The last couple of games the yankee fans have disappeared from this site. They will reappear like the trolls they are if the Sox bullpen falters.
-
To my eye it looked like Ellsbury beat ARod's throw. Did anyone get a better look?
-
Top of the order due again. ARod will be standing in the batters box with Ellsbury.
-
Nice play by the black cloud to end the inning.
-
He just missed an upper tank job and then did some nice hitting on the next pitch to single. Here comes the black cloud, Lugo.
-
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.
