After the way the Yankees have played the past two weeks, I am not even a little bit surprised that Boston knocked them out of first place last night.  Another game, another questionable managerial decision and another loss.  Jonathan Albaladejo has been a closer all season long at AAA.  On top of that Girardi has rarely used him since he was called up.  So what in the world was he doing in the game in the 4th innning and pitching multiple innings?  He is not and never has been a long man.  Some of the things Girardi does, I just cannot understand.  Chad Gaudin in a one run game?  Jonathan Albaladejo in the fourth inning?  I just don’t get it. Is it really Joe Girardi managing or has Joe Torre snuck back into the dugout?  Many of the games the Yankees have lost over the past couple weeks were winnable.  Granted, last night was a blowout, but take away the runs Albaladejo allowed and it was a tie game.  I understand that it is not the end of the world if the Yankees do not win the division, but right now it looks like they are consciously trying to give it away.  I’m sure that they will make the playoffs, and maybe even make some noise in the post season, but they are going to have to do a lot better than they have in the past two weeks or they are going nowhere fast.
