Can't disagree with you there. Forgot about that. Absolutely!

As for his analysis as a broadcaster, I was not impressed. He went on and on about Manny not running out a ball that looked like a HR in Cleveland, but Manny only got to 1B. The announcers got on him when he did it and rightly so. In the end his failure to run didn't cost the Red Sox, and in fact his hit drove in the winning run of the game. Girardi's post game analysis should have focused on how the Red Sox won the game, but instead he raved and ranted about something that had no impact upon the outcome of the game. He never once mentioned that manny drove in the game winner.

Was this during a Fox game that he did? Otherwise why would he be calling a Sox game in Cleveland? I always enjoyed listening to him on YES. Either way, that's one game. Not much of a barometer. I'm sure that's not the only basis for your opinion, but I can't help but disagree overall. I'm not saying he was perfect all the time, but considering he has limited experience in the booth, I think he did pretty well when up there. Whatever though, agree to disagree.
