Talk:Joe Girardi

message: All right. Is a a Cub or a Yankee?
For Cub, he's a native Illinois person; played more years for Chicago.
For Yankee, his New York team had a spot light, he won a World Series and caught a perfect game. He works for YES.

message: I think it is also important to remember that besides playing many more years in Chicago, he had his best years as a Cub.  His only All-Star selection was in 2002 for the Cubs. Joeidaho 17:28, 17 July 2007 (UTC)

text: I love Girardi, and I hope someday he's hired as manager for the Cubs, but the All-Star selection wasn't all that special. Girardi was chosen to the All-Star game (2000, not 2002) only after Mike Piazza suffered a concussion three days before the game, Javy López turned down the spot to head home to Puerto Rico, AND Todd Hundley turned down the spot due to a sickness in his family.  The Chicago Sun-Times has the story here. Girardi ended up being the only position player (on either team, I believe) not to get into the game that year. Jpers36 17:38, 17 July 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Team colors 

message: I suggest that everyone involved in this edit war take a step back and lay off the article for a while before the 3RR blocks start being given out (if it's not too late). As a neutral party, I'm going to take out the work "primarily" as it seems non-NPOV, (and he played 578 games for the Cubs and 878 for other teams, I just added it up), but leave the colors as is. Of course, if someone reverts me, I won't revert back, but it may move you closer to a block if you've made multiple reversions in the past 24 hours. Try and decide how important this really is.

thread_title: Attempt to diffuse this

message: Any debate over what colors should be on this profile is over now - it's, of course, the Yankees, considering he's now a member (once again) of the New York Yankees.  Thus, they must be changed.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 150.108.94.35 (talk) 17:39, 29 October 2007 (UTC)

message: I believe that the incident between Loria and Girardi occurred at a Dodger's game in Dolphin Stadium, not at St. Louis.  I recall that Vanover was calling VERY poorly against the Marlins, and that Loria started mouthing off.  Girardi had been tossed the day before, and wanted to avoid further negative Ump interaction, even though Vanover was deserving of it.  He should have been more respectful of Loria in asking him to tone it down, but was more direct.  However, I do not have a link handy, so I will not change it until I find a link...

thread_title:  In St. Louis? 

message: This quote has gone back and forth between "shut the fuck up" and "shut the f*** up" a number of times, and now just recently someone changed it to "shut the freak up." My feeling is that there's no reason to censor anything unless it's quoted from a source which is censored. But there's certainly no reason to ever actually change the words people have said, is there?
Having said all of that, can someone find a good source for the actual quote (partly so I can know that Girardi didn't actually say 'shut the freak up')?  --Greybean (talk) 04:39, 19 May 2008 (UTC)

message: Why don't the succession boxes and list boxes (e.g., New York Yankees managers, Florida Marlins managers) show up on the page? I look in the edit file and it appears they should, but I can't figure out what is wrong to make the edit myself. Sorry, I tried. Can someone else help? —  Michael J  22:09, 5 August 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: Never mind. I didn't realize they were all hidden under one box. I wonder why that isn't so on other pages. Oh well. Sorry for the trouble. —  Michael J  22:19, 5 August 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: It should be whenever there are enough boxes that it's beneficial for the appearance of the article. --Muboshgu (talk) 12:03, 19 August 2009 (UTC)

replies: text: First off, that source is some sort of blog, and not reliable.  Second, the article it cites, which is reliable, says the switch is "likely", meaning it hasn't happened, and though probable, might not happen.  We won't change his humber to #28 until it's verified.--Muboshgu (talk) 18:19, 28 December 2009 (UTC)
thread_title:  Number 28 

message: From Miami Herald Wire Services, printed in the Miami Herald of Sunday, May 27, 2012:  According to the story, When Girardi was a kid, about eight years old, in the state of Illinois, a freight train derailed behind the farm of Girardi's maternal grandparents.   The train spilled a load of boxes of Cap'n Crunch, and Girardi and his four siblings ate Cap'n Crunch cereal for a year.  According to Girardi, he and his siblings usually ate sugary cereals only on weekends.   The accidental bonanza of Cap'n Crunch was eaten during weekdays, according to the article.  I attempted to research this incident.   My research yields the following train derailment: Thirty railcars of an L&N freight train derailed in the small village of Addieville, IL June 15, 1973.    Maybe the Cap'n Crunch incident can be added to the Joe Girardi Wikipedia article?   If Girardi sees this, its time for you to do the right thing, Joe.   Baseball's been good to Joe.  He has the means to pay for the Cap'n Crunch.  Marc S., Dania Florida  74.166.156.250 (talk) 00:46, 28 May 2012 (UTC)
