NOTES:
- Joe Girardi told the media that Jeter will not play in the Royals series and they hope he will be able to play in the Boston series.

Where is all the NL baseball everyone said Girardi would bring? They looks more laid back than they did with Torre running the show.

I have no idea, there have been many chances so far this year for Girardi to push buttons, and he hasn't. I think he might be afraid to make a mistake, which would be pathetic on his part.

And people forget, the Yankees led the AL in sac bunts last year, Torre did a lot more than most remember.

I agree with you greg, it does seem that girardi is tentative.

I hope that changes, and changes soon.

Geeez look at these Royals running, I wish the Yankees played this brand of baseball.
