Yankees Fire Joe Girardi After Slow Start to the Year

Yankees fired manager Joe Girardi this morning, blaming his horrific start of the season that resulted in them having the worst record in the league heading into today's play.

"We haven't won a game all year" said Yankee GM Brian Cashman. "I am hoping that our new manager can improve over the remaining 161 games of the year."

The Yankees offense played well under Girardi, having won a World Series last year and averaging 7 runs per game. However, the pitching staff had a 9.00 era and were giving up an average of one run per inning. It was not known who would replace Girardi, however there are rumors that the Yankees will overpay like they normally do.
