Girardi was a teammate of some of these guys just 10 years ago, and let's face it, he's still a spanking new manager learning on the job. No one wanted him more than me at the time, but I'm now learning that you need someone with experience and already respected to manage the New York Yankees. It's a unique job that requires it. Also, if we had the GM of the Marlins, we'd be in a hell of a lot better shape.

A big one that I thought you should add is "releasing" Joe Torre... that did it for me and a lot of Yankees fans.. Excellent sources and I completely agreed with you.
