New York Yankees: Can the Bombers Win World Series »
Almost a year ago, September 13, Joe Girardi was a ticked off manager. Even though the Yankees had the best record in the game (92-52) and a seven-game lead in the AL East over the Boston Red Sox, Girardi had been tossed out of a close game against the Orioles for arguing balls and strikes. The bases were loaded in the bottom of the [...]

New York Yankees: Plenty of Blame To Go Around at »
I suppose the expected move today is to go on a rant about what a fool Joe Girardi is for bringing in Sergio Mitre last night against the Rays.I'm supposed to be livid that David Robertson was overlooked, that Mariano Rivera was left on ice, that the unimpeachable Joba Chamberlain wasn't there to stop Carl Crawford Carlos Pena Evan Longoria Reid [...]
New York Yankees: Losing Seven of Eight Is Not the End »

Yankees-Rays: Joe Girardi Lies When Saying Winning the »
