He'll get a lot more ro play elsewhere, and there will be rimes that we miss him. Grandy's days are numbered here, as are ARod's. I predict the Yanks will eat around $50-60 mill to move on this winter. 304) yeah, Swisher played himself out of another longterm parking space with his habitual postseason futility.

I thought earlier it would be Girardi, but I think his job is now safe, since they made it into the playoffs and survived the first round. So now I figure Swisher is gone for sure (he may have left anyway, but it's convenient excuse not to bring him back). I winder if Granderson is cut loose too? I doubt it.

He mentioned at least twice that they only struck out three times against Verlander. But Joe, you scored ONE run. And that didn't come until the ninth. How are any of us supposed to take solace from only three strikeouts? Bottom line is five runs in three games. Four of those runs came in one inning. And the Yankees have not scored in a game before the ninth. Girardi really talks a lot of flowery nonsense after these losses.
