In a crowded interview after the game, Girardi, clearly upset from the loss and the bad call, was asked several times if Sabathia was healthy, in part because it was difficult to hear. Upon the third time, he grew irritated and was then told by Sherman that it was part of the job of being the Yankees’ manager to answer questions.
Girardi seemed to think the repeated questions were more about getting him to tell the truth than the difficulty hearing, and he did not want to be told his job description.
“No, I’m not lying,” he said. “One time is sufficient.”
Later, he invited Sherman into his office to discuss the situation, and it quickly escalated and could be heard throughout the clubhouse by players, reporters and clubhouse attendants.
Girardi doesn’t challenge the sightless umpire but screams at joel sherman of ny post instead. #losingit
Girardi won’t back up his own player on a game-ending call, but gets tough w/@JoelSherman1. Good to know he’s got his priorities straight.

What is happening? While I have ripped Girardi for game strategy and other things I will not rip him for telling the media, especially rat faced douchebag, Joel Sherman to fuck off. He answered the question & Sherman kept pushing. This town has more media members that are in love with their face & voices than any other and yes that includes Boston. Sherman, Lupica, Klapisch, Matthews, O’connor, Raismann, Bondy. Serby all of them truly think that they are more important than the teams or sports they cover. God I hate this city sometimes. Oh I forgot king fat ass Francessa.

This is the best post of the year.
All Girardi was doing was trying to defend CC from a harassing idiot.
This is the only place where most of the lineup could hit .180 with no power for ten straight games, and a significant segment of the “fans” and media idiots like Sherman would say from every possible angle that the fault lies with the Manager.
The other Truth is that only huge money would entice a successor to him to come here, because that person is certain to receive the same treatment.

You, my friend, hit the nail on the head. What’s cute is how all the cockroaches come out supporting their fellow parasite after he got a treatment from Girardi.

I happen to like sucking Sherm’s dirty balls, and he’s gentle when he pounds me in the pooper.

Oh and for Heyman & Klapisch’s information he was defending a player, CC Sabathia. By not saying he was hurt or using the DL as an excuse for him. Hey fellas to qoute Warren Sapp “you so tough, put a jersey on.”

Not sure what they expected Girardi to do about the call. MLB, along with all other sports, get their panties in a tangle when someone aside from themselves exposes the incompetence of their refs and umps. Girardi has already been ejected from a game in the past week, that combined with the national Yankees bias against, and Girardi was probably looking at a ton of fines, possibly suspension for a period of time.
They don’t want replay for whatever reason, fine whatever. But in football, of a call its close, all officials will gather with their angles to attempt to make the right call. You mean to tell me there was no other umpire in that whole game who didn’t watch the pay of the ball, that didn’t see that play and how close it wasn’t?
Of course, if Sabathia hadn’t let the great Lew Ford bend him over all night, then the game might not have come down to the word of one retard.

Today, if Joba had imploded, I would have called him a moron for prematurely taking out Sweaty Freddie.
I know everything!!!
