Joe brought in pitchers like he was changing wet socks... constantly, but all the while, treating it not like a must win, but instead, a bridge game to get to Friday...warm everyone up and get through the game. It seemed very lazy to me, it seemed like he was going through the motions.
I sit here now, watching a game in extra innings in Tampa, in our last game of the season with our last pitcher...Scott Proctor and while the Yankees can lose this game, I don't like to lose ever, no one does, not even the Yankees. The Yankees didn't get into this spot though, Girardi did and when you're stuck with 1 pitcher in an extra inning game, you didn't think like a manager, you thought like an amateur.

Suddenly, Joe Girardi's back's against the wall and while the Yankees are going to the playoffs, bringing in 11 pitchers in a single game for the sake of pitching them may be one of the most idiotic managerial decisions I've ever witnessed, because if we lose this game tonight, it's not a big deal in the record books, we still go to the playoffs, but it's a big deal to any players mentality. No one wants to leave on a low note and this loss in my opinion is not a Yankee loss, it's a Girardi loss. Hey, just an observation though, what the hell do I know.
Let's hope Joe thinks more clearly on Friday.
