Morning Bits: Girardi, Hughes, C.C. vs Shields and more…
Hope many of you are enjoying a nice day off from work as summer ends. The playoff push is getting interesting as the Yankee continue to struggle. An important next two series begins today with Tampa and after them will be at Baltimore. A-Rod should be back in the lineup today. Hopefully that helps the lineup.

ode to derek jeter
I’ve been swinging these bats so long
Singin’ the same old song
I know every crack in these dirty sidewalks of Broadway
Where hustle’s the name of the game
And nice guys get washed away
Like the snow and the rain
There’s been a load of compromisin’
On the road to my horizon
But I’m gonna be where the lights are shinin’ on me
Like a new york yankee
Riding out at home plate in a star-spangled baseball game
Like a new york yankee
Singing cards and bats for people I don’t even know
And offers comin’ over the phone
Well, I really don’t mind the game
And a smile can hide all the pain
But you’re down when you’re ridin’ the 7 train taking the long way
And I dream of the plays I’ll make
With a subway token
And taking my pitches at the plate
There’ll be a load of compromisin’
On the road to my horizon
But I’m gonna be where the lights are shinin’ on me
Like a new york yankee
Getting hits at home plate in a star-spangled baseball game
new york yankee
signing cards and bats for people I don’t even know
And offers comin’ over the phone
Like a new york yankee
Riding out at home plate in a star-spangled baseball game
new york yankee
signing cards and bats for people I don’t even know

Why do you want Glen Campbell to manage the Yankees? Is he on WPIX?
I could see him maybe playing the National anthemn or god bless America. Or even riding a mounted police horse like Wayne Boggs….but manage?
