Tex: Girardi is the best manager I've ever had

From George A. King III:

"The good thing about Joe is that he is consistent. He expects a lot out of us but you look at him and you can't tell if we won or lost," Teixeira said. "Your leader needs to show confidence. The manager can't be upset after every loss. He can't be angry all the time."

Then Teixeira paid Girardi the supreme compliment.

"Out of all the managers I have had, he is the best I have had by far," Teixeira said.

Reminded he played for future Hall of Famer Bobby Cox in Atlanta and World Series champion Mike Scioscia in Los Angeles, Teixeira said, "[Girardi] is No. 1."

That's high praise, especially with Bobby Cox (15 division titles, five pennants, one world series win.) and Mike Scioscia (four divsion titles, one pennant and one world series win.) in the conversation.

Good fot Teix this team will only get better as soon as you get rid of the Torre zombies.

I would have thought they would DH Posada today.

I hope they DFA Angel Berroa. I like having 3 catchers because you could pinch hit Posada on his days off and not bring him in to catch. Also Kevin Cash can play third so Berroa is useless.

Posada should be the permanent DH, then again, Cashman has about 8 of those....
