We should find out by Tuesday at the latest who is the new manager of the New York Yankees. Many analysts predict it will be Don Mattingly, but we are leaning towards Joe Girardi here at SportsUnderground.com. Girardi has much tougher skin and the leadership qualities necessary for success under the bright lights in the Big Apple. Hire Girardi and continue with the same success if not more, but if you hire Mattingly you get Yankee mediocrity which George won’t put up with for long. 

Boston doesn’t dominate in the same fashion as last night, but they do cover -1.5 at Fenway. 😉

NBA 6-4

Check out the video clip below to see Papelbon do his best Riverdance impersonation. I don’t think we will ever see the Sox stud reliever on Dancing with the Stars based on this celebration dance from last night.

The Boston Red Sox capped off their ALCS comeback last night with a 11-2 victory over the Cleveland Indians. The Sox were down 3 games to 1, but then outscored the Indians 30-5 in the final three games to win the pennant. Sabbathia and Carmona were 0-3 in this series and this was ultimately the downfall for the Tribe. I know MLB is happy the Sox made the World Series and I think this has the makings of a good series. The blazing hot Rockies will have cooled off from their 8 day rest when the Series starts this Wednesday, but they have to be competitive. I don’t see them winning Game 1 against Beckett, but just don’t get blown out so your confidence isn’t shaken. Make sure you check back with us Wednesday for our MLB Bet of the Day. 😉

Joe Torre has just turned down a one-year offer from the Yankees. The offer was for $5 million with $3 million in incentives. I’m so glad he punked George and tweedle dee and tweedle dumb (Hank and Hal) after they took so long to make a decision. I hope they get stuck with former Yankee Steve Howe as their manager. You da man Joe!

The Red Sox will live to see another day so take the Sox and the moneyline -122 tonight.
