I don't even care about the details of the argument. I don't think Girardi is right. But I just like the fact that he didn't refer to the manager of the Rays as "Joey" or offer to give him a reacharound.
When Derek Jeter was taken out by Ken Huckaby, Torre did nothing about it.
When Manny Ramirez showed up Scott Proctor, Torre did nothing about it.
When David Ortiz hit fifty homeruns off Yankee pitchers, Torre referred to Ortiz as "Big Papi" and never dusted him once.
Jeter and ARod lead the league in getting hit by pitches and it's not "classy" to complain about it.
It's not "classy" to complain about Joba Chamberlain enduring Exodus:8 on a pitcher's mound in Cleveland during a playoff game.
Here's Girardi, during a Spring Training game, defending a minor league catcher who won't even make the team.
