Earlier today, the Yankees made an offer to Joe Girardi to take over for Joe Torre in New York. This is a good move as Girardi would be a better Manager than the other top choice, Don Mattingly. Girardi has a ton of experience as a Manager as well as a host of awards and accolades to his credit. Don Mattingly has a ton of a fanfare and a presumed curse that he can’t win the big one (he never won the Series as a player and he hasn’t won yet as a Bench Coach).
Girardi is the right choice here, guys. Actually, Torre would have been the right choice, but since that bridge is nothing but ashes at this point – I’ll take Girardi. Hey, did you guys know that Boston won the World Series last night? I swear I didn’t know until I read the USA Today story a little while ago that talked about how A-Rod is FINALLY gone from New York (thank God for that!).
Anyway, we’re good with Girardi, glad that A-Rod is history, and surprised that there’s still a baseball team up in Boston. Good for them for winning the Series.
