Here’s what Joe had to say about it at YES.com

“I’m okay with it because Sori can basically get at least halfway down the line; it’s a read by Sori and it may have shocked him, but I don’t have a problem with it,” Girardi said. “I’m not giving him the bunt sign, but if they’re going to give Curtis a base, we have some guys now who can hit the ball out of the ballpark behind him, so I’m okay with it.”

“It surprised me; my mind said stay but my body said go, and it was too late,” Soriano said of the play. “Next time I have to be more ready.”

If it was Joe’s call and blown read by Soriano, then I’d say good idea, bad execution. If it was a surprise by Grandy, I’d say bad ideas all around.

On the fifth or so replay you could see ARod was waving at the perplexed Soriano to run. So yeah, it was ARod’s fault.

I agree Jon that CC’s so-so season is the most confounding storyline this year. I love the guy, and what’s happening with him is hard to watch, and understand.

Yogi looks great in that photo. He’s everyone’s Yankee grandpa.

Unfortunately, I don’t think it’s happening this year. But here’s to a nice bobbly headed Labor Day weekend winning streak.
