For years, Joe Girardi has driven fans bananas by micro-managing the lineup, vis-a-vis lefty/righty or this guy hits that guy or so and so hit great in the rain, no matter whose place he was taking in the lineup. Ironically, I think the worst thing to happen to the Yankees looking back on it is the Raul Ibanez pinch-hit home run against the Orioles, which gave Girardi license to become even MORE overly-precious with the lineup, trying to tweak together a World Series run with machinations instead of the studs that got them there in the first place. Thanks, Joe. You're fucking awesome.
