In response to Handy's comments on my criticism of Joe Girardi:

Yes, he was at one point the National League Manager of the Year. It was well deserved, he did a lot with a young, overachieving Marlins team, and it was a shame the way he got run out of town.

However

Managing in the AL is far different than the NL. Many think managing in the NL is much harder, myself included, and it's certainly not too hard to manage that lineup. Not the '27 Yankees, that's for sure, but seriously? ARod, Jeter, Giambi, Abreu (best hitter in the lineup in my opinion), Matsui, Cano, Posada. I mean damn, even Damon has a little left in the tank...

Figure it out Joe, it's certainly not that hard.
