This is ridiculous.
Absolutely ridiculous.
Has the Joe Girardi era been deemed a smashing success so far? Obviously no, since the Yankees are 13-13 this season following their first non-playoff season since 1995.
But if anybody thinks that the manager is the person culpable for this start, seriously get your frigin heads examined.
Let us count the ways why the Yankees are 13-13:
One of the top 3 hitters in baseball hasn't registered a plate appearance this season(Alex Rodriguez, or Bitch Tits)
Their next best hitter, Mark Texiera(198 average) has encountered the typical crappy New York first season troubles that everyone from Carlos Beltran to A-Rod ran into.
So the top 2 hitters on the team who combined for 68 homers and 224 RBI's, have combined to practically not show up. And two other position players, Jorge Posada and Xavier Nady are on the DL. And you expect this team to be good Yankee fans?
But those are just the sticks. Now to the arms. No. 1 starter C.C. Sabathia, the 500-billion dollar man: 1-3, 4.85 ERA. No. 2 starter Chien-Ming Wang: 0-3, 34.50 ERA, now on the Disabled/what the bleep is going on List. No. 3 starter A.J. Burnett: 2-0, 5.40 ERA.
So the top 3 starting pitchers, combining for a robust 3-6, 7.39 ERA. And since that means more work for Girardi's bullpen, what does the skipper have to work with? Oh yeah, his top 2 set-up men Brian Bruney and Damaso Marte? Also on the DL.
Just to review, the New York Yankees are 13-13 because 3 of their 8 starting hitters are hurt, their best player hasn't gotten an AB, their 2nd best hitter has sucked, as have their top 3 starting hurlers and their top 2 setup men are banged up.
And that's Joe Girardi's fault? Please......
