That's fine. I would love to get Girardi.

They won 100 games this year. The manager sucks. Fire him!

Why? Girardi did his best work more than a decade ago. He became a curmudgeon in New York and isn't the same manager he used to be. You're chasing a name.

He claimed he always starts his bullpen 7-10 minutes before game time. I dont follow how long pitchers warm up and his first time thru the order he was fine.

The only thing reasonable about it is Maddon got his start in the Angels organization.

I disagree with this. I'm a Maddon guy but if the Cubs did move on Girardi would be my choice. Dude didn't have a losing record in ten years and a lot of that stuff that came out about not using analytics and having a hard time with young players literally came out of the blue when he was let go. The Yankees moved on because they didn't want to pay a manager $5 mil per and they embellished to justify it. As a player Girardi was one of the early proponents of using analytics to prepare and if you listen to him speak on it he has a solid grasp and is very supportive of the approach. As far as young players, maybe he's better with veterans but other guys that played for him as young players disputed the Yankees assertions. The guy just wins. A year ago I would have had the Joes neck and neck and 3-4 as far as the best managers in the game.

I can't speak for fatbeard, but I think you missed the point of the word "curmudgeon". There were some tensions between him and the FO. The Yankees didn't let him go because they didn't want to pay him $5 mil. That's chump change for that organization.

Not from what I've been hearing. Hank Steinbrenner is apparently quite cheap when it comes to money for anything other than players and even there he's not George. He apparently cut the office budget in half of all things. So many people that covered that team said that the justifications came out of the blue. There are always tensions with the FO. That's how you know someone is doing their job.

I’m pretty sure he will go on in life. You seem to have some weird obsession on this message board. Go rub one out. It will make you feel better

No, but speaking of bodily functions, I wouldn't piss on you, if you were on fire.

That's the best news I've heard all week. Don't want your disgusting bodily fluids anywhere near me.

Nothing wrong with that. I'm long time Girardi fan. That said I'm a bigger Maddon fan at this point so I hope, and truly believe, this is all a bunch of internet nonsense.

He would have been a great fit for the Cubs many long years ago pre-Ricketts ownership.
