New York Yankees manager Joe Girardi got quite irritated when asked questions regarding the playing time of soon-to-be-released slugger Alex Rodriguez.
Prior to tonight’s game Joe Girardi told reporters that his, “Job description does not entail a farewell tour.”
Clearly frustrated by the constant questions about A-Rod, he defended himself and admittedly blamed himself for promising playing time. Girardi had recently said that he would, “find a way” to get the former superstar time on the field in his final four games.

“I’m disappointed. When I heard him say I can actually play in all four games, I was really excited to get some at-bats. I don’t know what happened.”
After appearing to be on the same terms, it appears as if the organization is headed towards a rocky finish with their 41-year-old slugger.
