So far, Joe good
There is almost no way to praise the new manager without it coming across as a slam on his predecessor.
So let's deal with that up front. Joe Torre was great as Yankees New York Yankees manager. I am on record in this paper stating that the Yankees should have done what was necessary to keep him. And I am not going to fully change that opinion until examining how Joe Girardi copes with crisis, until we see the new Yankees manager operate in the heated forum in which the previous Yankees manager proved masterly. Torre was a high priest of extinguishing controversy and tension, a quality that soothed his team and routed him to Cooperstown. Continue

Girardi is going to have a very short leash by Yankee fans. Under Torre they always made the playoffs, even when they got off to horrid starts on several occasions. Joe needs to get them winning early.
