Re: Joe Girardi and Dave Eiland need to go
I don't know who hired Girardi.
But if i find the person directly responsible for the best gift Red Sox Nation has ever received, i'm sending him plane tickets with a 1-week stay to the best beach resort in the Dominican.
Plus the best hookers, booze, and blow money can buy.

Also constant failure at situational hitting.

Re: Joe Girardi and Dave Eiland need to go
Girardi is a terrible manager. I've been saying it from day one. His so-called success in Fla was not really a success when you start to analyze the results and when you take into account that he alienated 3/4 of that team by August. I want the Yankees to extend him for 10 years.

Re: Joe Girardi and Dave Eiland need to go
Girardis claim to fame is he almost had the Marlins playing 500 ball.
Immediately the yankees fire their manager who won 13-14 divisions in a row and replace him with the ass clown of the day, this being Joe Girardi...I dont think the vets like him, i dont think the kids respect him and I dont think he has confidence in being in NY long.
Girardi is an inferior manager to Francona and francona pulled a hit and run 2 nights ago with lowell running to 2nd and tek up..A worse hit and run combo has never been attempted.

The string attaching Chien-Ming Wang to the Yankees' rotation is very short and severely frayed. After watching a video of Wang's miserable outing Wednesday night against the Red Sox at Fenway Park, manager Joe Girardi opted to keep the struggling right-hander in the rotation. Girardi said Wang will start Wednesday against the putrid Nationals at Yankee Stadium.
|
And Girardi is sticking with Wang in the rotation after his "one pump chump" effort in his last outing LOL

Re: Joe Girardi and Dave Eiland need to go
I blame the GM for not having the foresight to see that this bullpen is terrible. I blame him for not making the moves that he needs to do.
I blame the GM for overvaluing his own players such as Hughes and Kennedy. Anyone can make the big splash when you have the money like Tex and CC.
It takes a quality GM to get a Smoltz and a Penny.
He sucks at player evaluation, he hired the manager [the Steinbrenners wanted Mattingly], he's to blame. I give him credit when he does something good, and I'll blame him when he sucks.
He sucks.
I blame him. I don't blame Girardi as much as I do Cashman. Veras, Edwar, Tomko, Aceves, Coke....let's not forget giving Marte a three year deal for 12 million.
Now he'll let Damon go at the end of the year...and take a chance on another young player who will suck. This team, if it EVER wins again, will win in spite of the GM.

Re: Joe Girardi and Dave Eiland need to go
See, Jacko loves little boys who suck, which explains his love for Brian Cashman. They're kindred spirits.

So wait......what you're implying here is that Jacko is a little boy who sucks??
Never would've figured that one out myself.

Re: Joe Girardi and Dave Eiland need to go
So, Girardi lets Gardner hit vs KRod with Damon on the bench. Then, he pinch hits for our second best OPS+ hitter on the team with Damon 2 batters later? What the fuck? It worked out due to the drop, but that is a ridiculous decision.

Re: Joe Girardi and Dave Eiland need to go
Yeah, that was curious. But it's not quite as bad as walking the winning run to face Alex fucking Rodriguez.

Re: Joe Girardi and Dave Eiland need to go
It worked (well, should have), but I don't think it was the right decision. I don't like the IBB in general.
