Is that a recent development (like today), or more long term.

I just find him sooooo boring. I can listen to most coaches and managers in those press-conferences, but Girardi has me groping for the mute button.

If they win the WS, Burnette should give him a pie in the face. He needs it.

LOL ^^^.


Well, it's back the The Bronx. The way I see it: The Yanks have to finish the Phills off tomorrow. You do not want this thing to go to a Game 7. If you're the Phills, just worry about Game 6. I know it sounds all cliche, but you can't worry about 7, without getting through 6. Yanks better have Pedro figured out, or the pressure is really going to be on them for Game 7.

Long term. I have progressively come to despise him and his moves.

He is such a stick-in-the-mud, so to speak. He always plays by the numbers, lefty-righty match-ups, regardless of the situation.

If you're going to do that, then why do we need him? We can just use a computer to manage the team and make moves.

Get there early. At the Giants Super Bowl parade, side streets were shut down early. In any case, the surrounding area will have a big Yankee vibe.

One more late-night bar session...I hope. Already took off Thursday.

Well, off I go.

Enjoy the game all you fanatics.

Got a bad vibe about tonight. Hope it doesn't amount to anything.

As much as I hate the Yanks, I will say Congrats on winning the WS. What a team. It's good to see the Phills loose.

Thanks Hideki. Too old for another night like this.

You were probably just channeling Jimmy Rollins...

So is this a Philadelphia thing then? You hate the Yankees, but can't stand Philadelphia? I can respect that -- Philadelphia, Greater Camden...
