Lupica: Joe manages to give one away
Lupica: Joe manages to give one away
Dave Robertson was breezing along. A kid who wants the ball. Had it Monday. Until the Yankee manager took it away from him. One move too many. One game for the Angels now. And Howie Kendrick is 1-for-1 vs. Alfredo Aceves now.

Girardi deserves the heat
New York Yankees Fan Blog — Girardi deserves the heat By Aziz October 20, 2009, 7:03AM Joe Girardi generally makes good decisions. Yesterday, he did not . Girardi exhibited a classic case of overmanaging yesterday in the 11th inning, and the Angels basically got a gift-wrapped victory a few innings earlier than you would have expected that game to go. The Yankees were rolling, and appeared to be settling in for another long haul extra inning game. But David Robertson just wasn't good enough, and in came Alfredo Aceves. With two outs. Two hits later, the game was over. ...

Girardi Will Spend the Day Getting Roasted; Phils Send Dodgers Home in a Body Bag
The Big Lead — ... Angels 5, Yankees 4: It will be impossible to avoid all the Joe Girardi criticism today, but most of it will be deserved. If Joe Torre appears at times to be asleep at the wheel, Girardi just can’t help himself from doing too much. In the bottom of the 11th, after David Robertson retired the first two batters he faced, Girardi removed him ...

Girardi Blows Game, Rivera Cheats
Fenway West - A Boston Red Sox Blog — ... If the Angels win the ALCS there will be a great deal of blame thrown at Joe Girardi. By subbing for Johnny Damon he gave up the DH spot and had to pull Rivera out of the game to pinch hit for him.  He later replaced Robinson with Alfredo Aceves who gave up the winning hit. ...

"It's like aura and mystique have made a comeback."
Surviving Grady — ... Rosenthal truly did not want to get "far ahead of ourselves," then he would have kept his mouth shut. The outcome of Game 3 was still very much in doubt. And it wasn't like the Yankees had bludgeoned the Twins or stomped on the Angels in the first two games. When the New York papers start criticizing you for tongue-bathing their own team, you might want to kick it down a notch. Meanwhile, writers from both The Post and The Daily News are all over Joe Girardi for over-managing game three. It will be very interesting to see the ...
