NEW YORK — Joe Girardi was reminded by a reporter Wednesday that in a bygone era, Yogi Berra was once fired as the Yankees manager after 16 games.
The year was 1985 and George Steinbrenner was changing managers the way the rest of us change underwear.
Those Yankees lost their first five games against the hated Red Sox, a Bronx tragedy that hadn’t repeated itself since Girardi’s Bombers did it again this year.
So, does Girardi worry for his job security?
And find out who Brian Bruney is blaming for his elbow soreness.
On another note, I don’t know how Major League Baseball beat writers do it. I was out at Yankee Stadium yesterday for nine hours and I’m exhausted. The beat writers do that day after day after day. Must be very on hard on their personal lives.
Give me basketball any day. Games take two hours, and your back home or on the bar stool before the night is out.
