Girardi is hot!

[JDRex05]

Yeah, the sense of entitlement by Boston and New York, the franchises themselves and their fans is what makes me alsolutely despise them. It's not that they spends tons and tons more money than everyone else but that they want to play by their own set of rules as well. If you don't bow to them it's nothing but *****ing and moaning.

I've actually got a die hard yankee fan friend who got so sick of that mentality that before the season he decided to root for the worst team out there.

He's a Pirates "fan" now.

Yep just more entitlement issues for the Yankees.

I loved Buck's response:

Asked about tomorrow's postponement and having to play two games Sunday, Showalter replied, "The attitude I've had and I think our players have is, they say play, we play. I know earlier in my career in the minor leagues, you'd get an early rainout and you're going, 'This is pretty good,' In the minors, you have seven-inning doubleheaders makeup. In the major leagues, you want to play those games in April and May.

"We've really had a challenge with the weather. You just take it. You say, 'OK, when do you want us to play?' And you play. Our guys just want to know what time the game starts and when we're playing.

"My gosh, we travel on great planes and buses and have traveling secretaries and great hotels. This isn't really that tough, OK? Let's try to keep reality in line here."

The Yankees could use that dose of reality.

Plus, who cares? F the Yankees.

Exactly. Which is why I love this from Buck:

Whoops. Already posted 2 up.

Girardi is the biggest cry-baby in baseball.

I swear I have never seen a manager moan about so much as I have seen in his tenure with the Yankees.

[nevadaO]

Who cares, Girardi? Girardi is a b***h and so are the Yankees. They get a freakin' off day tomorrow instead of Thursday. Boo-freakin'-hoo. Anything we can do piss them off is all the more satisfying for me, especially since we handed it to them tonight.

I think we should all chip in and buy Joe some Loctite so his ***** doesn't come unscrewed again.

The New York Yankees: Assuming that they get whatever they want since 1973.

[Orioles West]

If we can't take the season series, we may as well try to make them as uncomfortable as possible.

Why should the Orioles feel obligated to bend over backwards to accommodate their desires? And if the ensuing scheduling issues mean they have to keep sending Burnett out to the mound in a pennant race, then all the better, I say! I wouldn't piss on Girardi if he burst into flames.

Joe Girardi is a bottom of Bill Ripken's bat.

While I agree 100% with everything you wrote... I don't even think the O's are at fault. MLB does the scheduling, and the RE-scheduling. Girardi is *****ing at US and it's not even our fault!

Idiot! :laughlol:

I know the Commisioner's Office has the final say, but I thought that the home team (e.g. the team with the revenues at stake) has a great deal of input as to the rescheduling of postponed games....in this instance, the Orioles.

I fart in his general direction.

It was great listening to Thorne and Palmer talk about it during the game. Thorne laid it out, read Granderson's expose (which you know he wasn't capable of penning - Palmer asked if he was a lawyer) and was making fun of the Skankees the whole time. Basically saying the Skanks wanted it their way and cried when it didn't happen. Basically the Skanks wanted to call the shots and Palmer finished by saying "it just doesn't work that way!" They both laughed!

An Orioles sweep would be the ultimate. Anything else that aggravates them will be a bonus! I'm hoping for a game in Balt on Sept, the off day, 8th.

BTW, another poster spoke of a Yankee fan saying the Orioles were thought of as A-holes by others around the league for this. Where did that Skanks fan get that impression? More Skankee imagination. I doubt anybody else other than Orioles folks are giving the Orioles much thought.
