When are the Yankee bats going to wake up?
Subway Squawkers —
... On the other hand, Sports Illustrated reporter Tom Verducci completely eviscerates Girardi today. I don't have a problem with a writer slamming Joe G - that's what he gets the big bucks for - but it's a bit much to see Verducci do it, given that Verducci has been quiet over how his co-author Joe Torre has done in the playoffs.

Yanks vs. Angels: Will Joe Girardi Have an Aneurysm In The Dugout?
The Big Lead —
... Manic Mode: Joe Girardi made 14 pitching changes in 18 innings. Even more impressively, he forfeited the DH in an American League game. Who even knew that was possible? Considering he’s managed and played hundreds of games in New York, this is an anomaly.
