Comments on: Girardi’s past revisited before the big day http://riveraveblues.com/2008/03/29/girardis-past-revisited-before-the-big-day-2431/ A New York Yankees Blog Thu, 20 Nov 2008 11:36:59 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.6 By: LiveFromNewYork http://riveraveblues.com/2008/03/29/girardis-past-revisited-before-the-big-day-2431/#comment-60750 LiveFromNewYork Sun, 30 Mar 2008 00:19:11 +0000 http://riveraveblues.com/2008/03/29/girardis-past-revisited-before-the-big-day-2431/#comment-60750 Although a lot of us were tired of the Torre (last few) years and many of us wanted to see Donnie stay in pinstripes, a great many of us (myself included) had a feeling that Girardi was the right guy at the right time. He's on the world's biggest stage but he knows this. He's played here and knows the pressure involved. Between it being New York, being the Yankees and the first manager after Torre and being such a young manager with a team made up of half aging veterans and half wet behind the ears youngsters, well good luck to him. He is one smart baseball mind and has nerves of steel. I think (hope and pray) he can handle it. I really think he can. He's going to be under the microscope until he wins a WS and hopefully that happens SOON.
