Yardbarker: Joe Girardi

Joe Girardi has a dirty mouth

Tue, 05 May 2009 09:20:42 -0500

Let’s get this out there right away: I do not like Joe Girardi. I’m not sure why, maybe it’s because I think he got way too much credit for his job in Florida or maybe it’s because he has a loud mouth and doesn’t seem too baseball-smart. That being said, during last night’s game my [...]

Breaking Out, Stealing Signs, Scott Boras, Catching Dilemma

Tue, 05 May 2009 05:31:37 -0500

- Joe Girardi is blaming Tim Bogar for stealing signs. Want to know a solution? Brent Manye brought this situation up at his blog on brentmayne.com. Apparently he thought the Indians were stealing signs during a game in his career so he didn’t use signs the rest of the game. Yes you heard me right. [...]

The Idiot File: Hank Steinbrenner, Please Shut Up...

Sat, 15 Mar 2008 21:26:09 -0500

Ah, good ol' Hank Steinbrenner in less than 6 or months or so of being in charge of the Yankees is now known for his mouth as much as good old dad, George. Giving his two cents on the Rays-Yankees dust-up, here's what he says... From ESPN: This time, Yankees general partner Hank Steinbrenner took up the charge, reaffirming the front office's support of manager Joe Girardi, backing the players and making a comment that clearly was directed at the small-market Rays. "I ...

What next for the Yankees?

Joe Girardi is the new manager of the New York Yankees. What kind of team will he be guiding? Nobody knows for sure, but here is one man's plan.

A Cruel Business - Grady Little and Joe Torre

Wed, 31 Oct 2007 15:46:14 -0500

I feel sorry for Grady Little. It's like deja vu all over again, this time this departure may be even more cruel. I can understand why the Dodgers did what they did, but you just do not do that to a long-tenured baseball guy, especially when he's been a winner. Based on rumors of Torre being hired as manager of the Dodgers, and Joe Girardi apparently spurning them too, rather than have the carpet swept from under him, Little resigned as manager of the Dodgers.

Girardi's Coaching Staff

Wed, 31 Oct 2007 11:45:01 -0500

Mid '80s Yankee short-stop Bobby Meacham might end up being Joe Girardi's third base coach. Kind of humorous if you know anything about a baserunning blunder Meacham made while rounding third base one day:

Joe Girardi: Congrats But No Congrats

Tue, 30 Oct 2007 14:47:37 -0500

I'm torn. I'm acting like a selfish little brat right now. I should be happy for Joe Girardi on grabbing the New York Yankees managerial position, but I'm not. Call me a bitter Marlins fan, but what should have been a follow up season to build on turned out to be a major step backwards. I can't help but wonder if it's partially the managers fault. It's not Joe Girardi's fault, he was shoved out the door by the puppet master nor his fault the Marlins took a step bac...

From One Joe To Another?

Sun, 28 Oct 2007 15:45:49 -0500

If reports are correct, Joe Girardi will be the next manager of the New York Yankees. The team could announce his hiring by tomorrow. Of the three candidates I think Girardi is the wisest choice. Why? He's not afraid to get up in someone's grill:
