Joe Girardi: A Class Act

I'm a fourth generation citizen of the Red Sox Nation and proud of it. I'm among those who refer to the Damned Yankees as 'the Evil Empire' and worse. As far as I'm concerned, it's a good day in baseball when the Sox win, the Mets win and the Damned Yankees lose. It's a great day in baseball when either the Red Sox or the Mets beat the Damned Yankees and the other team wins too.

That said, I have to say Joe Girardi is a class act. I can't imagine the Evil Emperor Steinbrenner doing this.

I'm a Rockies fan and he was a class act as a player as well. Never heard a bad thing about him when he played for us.

... as a Yankees fan, I just wish we could 'fire' Steinbrenner. Girardi IS a class act, I certainly agree.

That is just how I feel about the Steelers, Browns and the Michigan Wolverines.

It's a great day in Football when they lose also.

Go Bengals!

As a Yankees fan I can't stand the bandwagon jumpers either. Bet they sell a lot of hats this year!!!!! Joe Girardi is a class act!
