Joe Girardi and Yanks part ways

[navamind]

that's pretty shocking. This team exceeded projections by a good margin by winning over 90 games and they were one win away from returning to the WS.

 

[navamind]

Maybe they came to this conclusion before the season started? Or midway through?

Just bizarre.

Too bad Jeets is now involved in the Marlins ownership....

He's gonna be the Michael Jordan of MLB owners

 

[black francis]

John Farrell, come on down!!!

 

[Cyder]

It was his call apparently.......Everyone felt he wanted to walk away these past few weeks

It wasn't, Cashman made the call not to offer him a contract

 

[black francis]

Jeter is mad he bought a 1% share of the Marlins

 

[black francis]

A-Rod is getting the job

 

[Cyder]

I wonder if Joe got the pictures of his family off his desk before his phone rang with an offer?

 

[black francis]

or maybe Jim Fregosi

 

[tducey]

Bit surprised here. The season they had Girardi should have got another shot next yr. That said if he doesn't have another job soon I'll be surprised.

Vegas had the Yanks at 82.5 to 83 wins depending on where you placed the bet and they were 300-1 to make the ALCS. And they fire the manager

 

[Nasty_Magician]

Terry Collins is available...

Lol, y'all must own your own businesses, you're fired or you resign! If the Boss was here girardi , gone years ago!

I think back to the day girardi changed his jersey# from 27 to 28 lol, that alone should tell you something about his way of thinking....

 

[Pastafazul]

I'm thinking A-Rod for the job

I was thinking big poopy!

Imagine taking your team to within 1 game of the WS, in a rebuilding year, and then not being invited back

 

[black francis]

When do they retire his number?

I think they retired #28 for David Justice.

Steinbrenner changed managers 21 times in 19 years before Buck so he wasn't exactly balanced when it came to managers

 

[Cyder]

I think they retired #28 for David Justice.

No, they retired it for Luis Soho. I was at the retirement ceremony
