Joe Girardi Ejected for Blowing Up At Home Plate Umpire

A Trick From The Managing School Of Billy Martin and Lou Piniella

The Yankees are in last place in the AL East, having lost six out of their last eight while playing what could best be described as uninspiring baseball.

What's a manager to do?

Some threaten a big lineup shakeup through the media, others actually follow through with it and hope to change the mojo. Then there's the Billy Martin and Lou Piniella school of managing: completely loose your head, kick some dirt, throw your hat and put on a big show for your team and fans.

After the home plate ump decided that the base of Jason Giambi's bat tipped a pitch, watch Girardi's beg for an ejection.

He gets some solid points as the Yankees went on to win in his absence, but I really think he could have kicked his hat a little better and went for the sweep dirt on home plate technique. That's always a nice touch.
