    I was just thinking the same thing Ron. And yet you wonder why I think Girardi is an asshole. NOTHING this moron does surprises me anymore.

    ...I'm sure he had his reasons and he obviously knows things we don't...I was just wondering why.

    ...fwiw, just because I don't understand some decisions doesn't mean I think Joe is an idiot.

    ...there's a reason why he's in the dugout and I'm sitting here banging away on a laptop and second guessing him.

    Of course he has his reasons, like he has with all the clownish moves he makes.....................he's an idiot. And with all due respect Ron, there's just no way that you or anyone else is going to convince me that this guy deserves to manage a baseball team.

    On a positive note we may actually pull this game out.

    ...sorry rick, but Girardi is anything but an idiot.

    ...can you name ONE manager that has never been second guessed by fans who think they know more about the players and the game by watching it on a TV and hiding behind a computer?

    ...is Joe the greatest manager ever?...probably not, but referring to him as "an idiot" makes no sense at all.

    Beyond baseball he's actually a very well educated and intelligent man. I have to be honest I don't really have problems with how he manages the club. A collection of trash with two legit starting pitches is one game above .500.

    Bingo, he's is the right man for the job, the only other individual I'd like to see manage the Yankees has a job in Baltimore.

    Yes, he did. Rick has hated him for a while and everybody is entitled to their opinion.

    ...thought so...and yes, everyone is entitled to their opinion, but it's a 2-way street. Opinions can be questioned by others...that's pretty much the crux of a message board.

    ...wouldn't make much sense if everyone agreed on everything.

    BS in Industrial Engineering, his brothers are Doctors, must be some good genes in that family. Personally I think Girardi is under rated as a manager given what he was handed last year and doing what he did.

    For sure. That's why it also seems like sports talk radio guys always take the against the norm stance. If they agreed with all the callers what kind of show would it be?

    Wait...are we talking about uninfringed 1st Amendment rights?

    Sorry, not for Rick until he shows the rest of the Bill of Rights love too.

    And that's why we all get along so well. And why I don't get offended when you disagree with me about clueless Joe, even though you're all wrong. (sorry, I couldn't resist). But I'll tell you what, to be fair, going forward I'll only point out the the questionable moves he makes or doesn't make during a game. And that should happen any more then say (at the least) 162 times a year. You see how reasonable I can be.

    ...I've brought up the same thing before too. I mean otherwise, how do we explain Skip fucking Bayless, and those like him?...I think a lot of these talking heads say things that even they don't really believe, just to provoke people and generate banter.
