The Difference Between Girardi and Torre: Music

From George A. King III:

March 23, 2008 -- TAMPA - Now here is a real difference between Joe Torre and Joe Girardi. The perception is that Girardi's camp is different than Torre's. However, bench coach Rob Thomson ran Torre's camp and does the same thing for Girardi, so there is very little difference.

However, under Torre, clubhouse music was limited to personal earphones. Now, if players don't compete for the system and refrain from arguing about what's being played, Girardi will allow music before and after games.

"As long as it's on and nobody is fighting over it," said Johnny Damon , whose amplifier kicked out the tunes that were playing prior and after yesterday's game against the Blue Jays at Legends Field was washed out. "Joe said he likes music."

"As long as they don't compete," Girardi said. "I think music is good."

I think music is good too, at least until Kyle Farnsworth punches someone in the head for turning off Ted Nugent.
