Joe Girardi Is A Big Fat Idiot
boogiedownbaseball.blogspot.com 10/20/2009 — Tonight's loss to the Angels has me so frustrated. I had to go to the store to pick up a few things right after the game and the whole time I was there I kept uttering some not so nice things under my breath while shaking my head in disbelief. Tonight's loss was purely on Joe Girardi and his ...

Marc Carig had this quote from Girardi, which told ...
One more look at the ALDS roster
nydailynews.com 10/6/2009 — We’ve taken a couple of cracks at the postseason roster in recent weeks, but with the regular season behind us, I figured it made sense to take one more look before the Yankees announce it sometime Tuesday night or Wednesday.

Girardi made a costly mistake
lennysyankees.com 10/20/2009 — All year, Yankees fans like me have seen Joe Girardi use a short leash on relief pitchers.
