Bye Bye Joe?

"I don't think there is any chance" Girardi's staying, says source...Bringing back Josh Johnson to pitch after rain delay said to be last straw...Joe and 'Larry Beinfest "barely speak" and have "no relationship at all.' (SunSentinel)

'For instance, in the infamous August squabble that began with Loria shouting from his field-side seat about the umpiring, it wasn't Girardi's reaction that made Loria erupt, a Marlins witness said.

'Yes, Loria was upset when Girardi asked him from the dugout not to yell at the umpires. But it was Girardi's bench lieutenant, Gary Tuck, that sent the situation into orbit and caused all the clubhouse commotion afterward.

'"If you don't f------ like it, get someone else," Tuck shouted from the dugout to Loria.

'Who talks to their boss like that, much less their boss's boss?

'That snippet tells plenty about how this marriage has never been the Lucy and Ricky of baseball. Girardi backed up Tuck in the yelling afterward. And Loria probably sided once and for all with Beinfest that day.' (SunSentinel)
