Yankees fans might have been caught somewhat off-guard by Joe Girardi's departure, but WFAN's Mike Francesa said it shouldn't be all that surprising.

Yankees fans are no doubt disappointed after their team fell one game short of the World Series. But when the pain subsides, they should feel nothing but optimism about the future, WFAN's Mike Francesa said.

Justin Verlander stayed perfect with the Houston Astros when they couldn't afford anything else.
