Joe Girardi and his New York Yankees will face the team that fired him tonight, the Florida Marlins. Jeffrey Loria, the owner of the Marlins, fired Joe Girardi after Joe had them in the wild card race for the last month of the season and after being named manager of the year. It seems the reason why Girardi got fired was the ego of the owner, Loria. Loria was yelling at an umpire during a game about a missed pitch and Girardi took offense to that and told his boss to be quiet and his boss felt insulted so this is probably why Joe was fired. I’m sure Joe Girardi would like his club to put a pounding on the Marlins so it should make for an interesting game. The Yankees will play their 28th game of spring training when they take on the Florida Marlins at Dolphin Stadium in Miami, Fla, 7:10 p.m. Eastern Time. Starting for the New York Yankees is right-hander Mike Mussina who is looking to sharpen up for the regular season and he will face left-hander Andrew Miller of the Florida Marlins.
