Im kind of shocked by the Girardi firing. Ive had my issues with him but overall hes obviously done an excellent job overall.

Is this an opening for Mattingly??

Only if he has pictures of Cashman with live boys and dead girls. Donnie hasn't exactly blown away the baseball world with his managing successes.

Great rosters that never got over the hump in the playoffs. Generally, he has the stink of loser on him if you ask me. He retired just as the Yankees re-emerged as world beaters in the 90s, then rejoined them in 2004 as the Torre years went south. He leaves when Girardi comes in and the Yankees win it all in 2009. Sure, coincidence, bad timing, and all, but, man, it's hard not to think that he's a cooler.

Cashman's not going to send the Marlins prospects compensation for hiring Mattingly. No way. Nobody's worth that.

Apparently Girardi's been openly pining for a league-office job and trying to get off the field altogether. Maybe that's why Cashman gave him a shove without any help from the Stein-sons or Randy Levine's Mob Ties™.

Holy stink, Girardi not coming back next year: http://www.espn.com/mlb/story/_/id/2116 ... rk-yankees

Ten years is a long time to manage a club, but still, after doing a pretty damned good job dealing with teams that often had lots of guys on the wrong side of their prime years, not being part of a team that has tons of young guys emerging is surprising.

Sad, but not surprised. I love Joe, but he's made some boneheaded calls through the years that leave me surprised he lasted this long. When the Yankees lost to the Astros, I had a feeling this was coming.

It's only the second, but this feels like when the Jays lit up Darvish in the ALDS a few years ago.

And Yuuuuuuuuuu're outta here.

Is Houston's late game heroics in Game 2 going to be like when Gibson hit the walk-off against Eck in '88, and that pretty much broke the A's spirit?

Good news, he just became affordable.

Doyers have used 17 pitchers in the last 20 innings

He just cemented his White House invitation

Major props to Darvish for his grace here.

I saw that as well this morning. I wonder how much of that is Darvish's personality and how much is culture. That is, I can't recall Japanese players responding to racist language and gestures while playing in North America, so I wonder if it's learned response not to escalate when someone acts like an ass in that way.
