So, that happened
I can’t say for sure how Joe Girardi imagined his tenure as Yankee manager beginning. Taking two out of three from the Blue Jays was probably about what he had in mind. Losing the next two games to Tampa Bay by a combined score of 19-7--while the manager himself was so sick he couldn’t make it to the dugout--probably was not.
But never mind. Five games is hardly enough to get worried about, even for someone like the Tigers, who seem to be channeling their 2003 selves. For the Yankees, 2-3 is hardly an ideal start. Just in case anyone thinks that means bigger things are not to come, they should take a deep breath and take a look at some past standings.
