He needs to be tough when appropriate (why did he wait until September to bench Cano?) and relaxed when appropriate (give the players their junk food).

Regarding Girardi, I supported his hiring but was dissappointed the way he responded to many situations this past season, hopefully he uses last season as a learning experience but if Manny joins the yankees he won't know which end is up. My Christmas wish would be to add Mark<BR/>Teixiera and that piece to the 09 puzzle should put us back in the thick of things in the AL East. Also if Pettitte goes elsewhere, lets give Hughes a shot at #5, or if Pettitte returns alternate Hughes/Joba to control thier innings pitched.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8624254435992330014.post-49097899880851388022008-12-22T18:33:00.000-05:002008-12-22T18:33:00.000-05:00I know letting my mind run away with me, but imagi...I know letting my mind run away with me, but imagine if the Yankees wind up getting both Tex AND Manny???<BR/><BR/>That would be really something.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8624254435992330014.post-45724084264573897052008-12-22T18:07:00.000-05:002008-12-22T18:07:00.000-05:00I think Joe should relax just a little on his junk...I think Joe should relax just a little on his junk food ban. Maybe it's okay if some of the players can snack on a SNickers bar once in a while. I wouldn't advise having a vending machine in the clubhosue, but if a few candy bars are lying around occasionaly I don't see the harm in it. These guys work out every single day. They won't go into cardiac arrest of they eat a popsicle once in a while.<BR/><BR/>By the way, I took that quiz - I was able to name 28 teams with 46 seconds remaining, but like you Lisa I got stuck. I didn't remember to list the Tigers and the Royals.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8624254435992330014.post-46115012197183347882008-12-22T10:39:00.000-05:002008-12-22T10:39:00.000-05:00That was great to see the man Jimmy Cannon (who wr...That was great to see the man Jimmy Cannon (who wrote for the New York Post when that paper was worth something) called "Santa Claus drinking his whiskey straight" actually playing St. Nick. Even though he was sick, he never gave up on his love for kids. And "a rabbit"? "A baby brother"? Not things that are easy even for Santa to bring, but he handled it pretty well.<BR/><BR/>Now, if the Babe were to come back, and check out The House That Steinbrenner Built to Replace The House That Ruth Built, and bring a few of the other ghosts with him, I wonder if he'd tell Joe Girardi to bring back the junk food? Especially if one of the ghosts is Phil Rizzuto: "Holy Cow, where's the cannoli? Girardi, I thought you were Italian! You huckleberry!" While Mickey Mantle, Billy Martin and Bobby Murcer laugh it up over in the corner.Uncle Mikehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11618876073064128027noreply@blogger.com
