Brian Cashman chooses not to support Joe Girardi, forces him to apologize for nothing

On WFAN, Mike Francesa played audio of Joe Girardi apologizing to the media for telling a "lie" about Mariano Rivera's own feeling about his physical condition. Which of course was not a "lie." I think Girardi should resign over Cashman's failure to back him.

• This is yet another sign of weak or non-existent front office leadership in the organization.

Girardi said he made a mistake and will improve his performance next year. If what he did is a "lie," then every team "lies."

• Cashman embarrassed Girardi by forcing him to apologize to reporters. For doing nothing except protecting a confidentiality requested of him by a player--which every team does. In this case, it's meaningless since the season is over.

The Yankee organization, lacking character and leadership, makes it easier to prepare myself for many years of failure.

• What a bunch of losers.
