Is this a case of Joltin' Joe Girardi legitimately getting pissed off because his team has been sucking ass lately or did he finally realize that his "deer in headlights" routine was not gonna work anymore?
I'm nowhere near a Yankees fan, but I love how most in the baseball media (see: ESPN, NY Post, mlb.com) are eating this latest ejection up as a reason that the Yankees and their gazillion dollar asses turned it around last night. In reality, it's probably because the pitcher they faced for the Braves has a problem harnessing his Adrenaline in and felt that running a half marathon in 90+ degree heat/90% humidity before pitching was a good idea. That and they're the billion dollar wonders who decided to show up. Take your pick.
All in all, what are the odds on Joe G. getting the axe by the All-Star break? And how often does B Cash fellate the Boss in order for him to still have a job? I just have a feeling that if this were Billy Martin he would have been fired/rehired/fired again by now.
As I Red Sox fan, I really hope that the Yanks keep Girardi. It's so much fun to watch.

I second that. And now that Michael Jackson kicked the bucket they have to give him a raise too.
