The Yankees have gone 8 years without a World Series title. Probably time for a change. The team did very well this year though.

Yankees are lucky to have Joe Girardi. Game 2 of ALDS probably did it.

The team was performing at least one year ‘ahead of schedule’ with all the young players.

Dusty Baker to Yankees, Girardi to Nationals. Isn’t that how these manager musical chairs usually work?

This was really an odd story. The story makes it sound like the Yankees decided not to bring him back, but over the last couple of months there was some question about whether Girardi even wanted to return. It sounded like he was getting burned out from the job.

Guy is a real class act. Looks like he has a great relationship with his players. Guessing he is putting family first.

Sorry to see him go!

Don Mattingly would look great in a Yankee uniform once again.

Wonder if the Nats will take a flyer on Girardi. Although the Nats are notorious for not spending the money on managers.

A whole 8 years!

The Dodgers have a shot this year and they were just there 29 years ago! Some of the players on the Dodgers World Series team were not even born the last time the Dodgers won the world series.

Girardi is clearly as good as they come.

I’m surprised the Angels haven’t canned Scioscia yet.

(1) Showalter - Get him! NOW! He built that Core Four Team that Torre had the good fortune of making into the dynasty of the late 90's and beyond. He deserves a ring and would have the young team in place to get them over the hump.

(2) Mattingly - Same idea ... deserves a ring or two. Probably not as good as Showalter, but would definitely be a Yankee legend in the locker room and a fan favorite.

He will turn up in DC managing the Nationals.
