Silverman: Girardi Showed Plenty Of Guts With A-Rod Benching

Girardi's detractors have to give the manager full marks for making the decision, executing it and doing it in such a manner that didn't cause angst in the clubhouse.
Pettitte hopes to ride the wave of good pitching -- and he's a guy who knows a little something about playoff success.
Granderson had a career year in 2012 -- both good and bad. Against the Orioles in the division series he was just plain bad. That is, until Game 5.
CC Sabathia turned and looked over his right shoulder, watching intently after Nate McLouth turned on a 93 mph fastball and sent it soaring down the right-field line. Yankees-Orioles. Playoffs. Disputed home run. Again.
Alex Rodriguez started the Yankees' biggest game of the year on the bench. After being pinch-hit for in Games 3 and 4 against the Baltimore Orioles, the $275 million third baseman was removed from the starting lineup for Game 5 on Friday.
It all comes down to this: a do-or-die Game 5 at Yankee Stadium. New York has to like its chances with Sabathia on the mound.
A-Rod is suddenly expendable. And moveable. Not good. We'll see what happens this afternoon in Game 5 -- he could look back on this series as the beginning of the end.
Yankees manager Joe Girardi won't know until Friday whether his bullpen will include Chamberlain, who has had enough mound misfortunes to fill a horror film.
Desperate times call for desperate measures. Formerly fearsome hitters Curtis Granderson and Alex Rodriguez could both be sacrificed in a drastically different Yankees lineup Friday.
With midnight approaching, the Baltimore Orioles' bats awoke one more time. Now they have a last shot to finally overtake the New York Yankees.
Derek Jeter doesn't like to talk about injuries. Either he'll play or he won't -- and he will. The captain is leading off for the Bronx Bombers in Game 4 of the ALDS against the Orioles.
I heard Yankees fans whine about Russell Martin, Joe Girardi, Ichiro Suzuki and, well, everyone but the sainted captain at shortstop. I had to roll my window down a foot in case of car (and fan) sickness.
Joe Girardi must finish the job. He took the first step when he put Alex Rodriguez (.083 in the series) on the bench in the ninth inning on Wednesday night and had Raul Ibanez pinch-hit for him. He must now leave him there.
Carmelo Anthony is the undisputed leader of the Knicks, but does his sports loyalty spread across New York City? Not necessarily. The five-time NBA All-Star, who moved from Brooklyn to Baltimore when he was eight years old, is a diehard Orioles fan.
"It's a great opportunity," said Hughes. "I've been looking forward to this, and it's going to be exciting. It's going to be a good atmosphere here and something I really look forward to."
Joe Girardi, so often criticized for relying his trusty stats binder, just had a feeling. And it worked. Boy, did it ever.
"I trust our guys," Yankees manager Joe Girardi said. "I'm with them every day. I'm with their approach every day, and it's important that they trust me."
We're told that pitching wins World Series titles. Yet we refuse to listen when we find a proper punching bag, preferably swathed in pinstripes and No. 13 bulging from his back.
Though the 37-year-old has thrown more innings -- 219 1/3 -- in 2012 than in any other of his big league seasons, he'll be taking the hill on six days' rest. And he'd be lying if he said the extra days aren't to his advantage.
With every swing and miss, memories of A-Rod's amazing run during the Yankees' championship season in 2009 fade even further.
What is it with the Yankees and transportation? The Bronx Bombers got a taste of the commuter's life following their Game 2 loss in the division series against the Orioles.
I know you're feeling the anxiety during these games. It's okay. That's what you're supposed to feel. It's October baseball.
He has to give a lineup change serious consideration. It's not about ego at this point. It's about surviving and advancing. Chavez could launch a homer or two over the right-field porch, and there's little doubt that Ibanez would hit the ball hard.
There's nowhere for A-Rod to hide -- Joe Girardi isn't ready to drop him in the batting order. As the Yankees' No. 3 hitter, he's going to have to start carrying his share of the load.
If Commissioner Selig is so insistent on having an extra Wild Card team in each league, then I have a solution. Is it a perfect solution? By no stretch of the imagination. It has its holes, and many would cry foul if it was ever implemented, but I can guarantee than it's far more fair than what's currently in place.
