Comments on: Girardi tells O’s ‘no thanks’ http://www.scoresreport.com/2007/06/21/1888/ The National Sports Blog Tue, 14 Feb 2012 04:33:48 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.1.2 By: Bay24 http://www.scoresreport.com/2007/06/21/1888/#comment-35882 Bay24 Sat, 23 Jun 2007 12:19:11 +0000 http://www.scoresreport.com/2007/06/21/1888/#comment-35882 I think he WANTS the Cubs job. But, I still think he is unproven after only one year in the National League - and he had Major problems with the Organization. Pick and chose who he wants to coach ? He is not exactly Jimmy Leyland yet. I also think the Cubs will give Lou a long look at Wrigley. I will agree - I wouldn't take the O's job though. In fact why would anyone want to coach in a division with the yankees ? What did they win the division 37 strait years or something ? I think he WANTS the Cubs job.

Since '01, they've backed down a lot and have tried to develop talent, but they're still not touching the Yankees or Red Sox. That's why they targeted Girardi - to try and breed a new line of thinking (a more hard-nosed style).

He's in the driver's seat and he knows it. More power to him if he can pick and choose his opportunities. Watch out Sweet Lou doesn't get fed up losing in Chicago and Joe goes home to Chitown............ Da Bear Oh, come on now, Bay24. He’s in the driver’s seat and he knows it.

Are they ready to lay out the cash to compete against the bottomless back account? I also wish he took the job. Mattingly, the other choice, is a Torre prototype, doesn't get fired up to rally the troops, not a good motivator. I think Girardi is a motivator and therefore I don't want him in Da Bronx.

Who does he think he is ? He was the manager for one year at the Marlins. Sure, they had a decent year, but so is the guy thats coaching them this year. Hey Joe - it's a big League gig - you should have taken it - you are one of what 5 x-coaches on the yankees - good luck holding out for a better job. You might be drinking coffee in the Crankee dougout for a long time dude. I think he should have taken the job. Who does he think he is ? He was the manager for one year at the Marlins.

Like I said, it's not like the Baltimore job is an attractive one, but still, he wants the Yankee job and at least a part of his decision had to be based on that... The Rockies sweep was bad, but if they somehow get swept by the Giants (losers of 10 straight and owners of zero offense), then Torre might be gone by first pitch of the All-Star Game!
