2. Pitching Joba for 2 innings when the Yankees were not ahead and on the road.
3. Pitching to Joe Crede, one of the hottest RH hitters in this young season, with the winning run on second, one out and an open first base. The guy on deck was a very, very light hitting IF.
Another Girardi decision: How do you feel about banning candy from the Yankee clubhouse? What next... A ban on beer?
Are you starting to see why I think Girardi is a boob.

His decision to not return Hughes to the mound was fine. It was the second rain delay of the night. The first resulted in the game starting over 30 minutes late.
As for Joba, who else would you pitch in that situation? Farnsworth had already been used, Hawkins and Ohlendorf had already been used, Bruney was not available. Why not pitch to Joe Crede in April - if it was September, same situation and the race for the penant was close, maybe you walk or pitch around him, but not in April.
Who is Candy??
