I hate you Joe Girardi

Joe Girardi is an idiot.

Phil Hughes goes 2 innings. Two and #@$%& rain comes. Our brain dead manager believes a 21 year old can't sit for 15 minutes or 20 minutes, get warm again and go get 'em.

Hughes was having arguably his best start of the season, throwing strikes getting ahead. Gavin Floyd can go back out, Hughes can't. Sense = zero.

The future is now Girardi! Now!! What are you protecting these guys from? Joe Torre was saddled with awful relievers for too long, so he relied on and probably wore out Mo Rivera - although you couldn't tell this year. Girardi, it was suggested, is gun shy from wearing down young arms in Florida. Nonsense. You let these guys throw. Let them build arm strength. Let them succeed when they're on the verge of it.

But no. Two innings.

By the way, Joba isn't unhittable, he's just crazy good most of the time. He had to fail some time, it's just a shame it happened last night, magnifying Girardi's awful decision making. Maybe if Joe relied less on stats and "the book" and went more with his gut ... oh wait, this is modern, progressive baseball.

Puke.

I'm loving Paul O'Neill and David Cone in the booth with Michael Kay. A hitter, and pitcher, a bloviator. Modern Yankees who still have ties to the team and old school sensibilities. Can't beat it.
