I didn't see any thread discussing the Yankees manager. For most teams, that would be a good sign - if you're not worthy of being remarked on, you're probably not fucking up too badly.
Last night he got thrown out of a game after umpire Laz Diaz (who, to be fair, is a bit of a hot-head) "Gave him the Mutombo". Apparently he meant wagging his finger at Girardi, though for a second I hoped he had wandered towards Girardi in front of all of Yankee Stadium drunkenly shouting "WHO WANTS TO SEX DIAZ?". Anyway - unprofessional of Diaz? sure. But what was Girardi doing arguing balls and strikes in the first place, especially for something non-egregious?
And then there's the broader question: do fans (of any team) regard him as a good manager? He certainly seems to not be abysmally detrimental to the team's success, but I've also never really seen him in the Joe Maddon / Mike Scioscia "meddling and egotistical but competent" category, nevermind the Terry Francona / Bob Melvin / Bruce Bochy division of "actual value added as a manager". How is he doing? How is he regarded?
