The Joe Girardi Show
Via the YES Network site with a hat tip to BaseballThinkFactory.org:
The Joe Girardi Show, a weekly half-hour show presented in high-definition featuring first-year New York Yankees manager Joe Girardi, will premiere on the YES Network (www.yesnetwork.com) on Sunday, April 6, at 5 pm ET, immediately following the Tampa Bay-Yankees post-game show. A new episode of The Joe Girardi Show will premiere each Sunday during the season.
On his show, Girardi, a former Yankees analyst on YES, will discuss the overall state of the Yankees, review the team’s previous performances and dissect its upcoming schedule. In addition to his weekly YES show, Girardi will participate in weekly chat sessions on YESNetwork.com.
Let’s just hope this is not something that gives Randy Levine an excuse to whisper into Kim Jones’ ear. O.K., seriously, I’m looking forward to this – it could be very interesting. Or, then again, it could be a weekly puff piece – like a Yankees On Deck for adults. Time will tell.
In all seriousness, do you have an worries about Girardi’s show being a distraction like Phil Hughes’ blog?
Kim Jones never asked a Torre too tough a question whether or not anyone was feeding them to her.

Girardi won the MOTY award in the big leagues. He’s proven. When Hughes is very good, for a full big league season, then he should do a blog. I’m not worried about Joe.
