Girardi offends baseball gods, costs Yankees series?

Normally, I’m not one to want to fire a manager mid-season, let alone mid-playoffs, but this year I would honestly consider making an exception.  Now I know, I know he won a world series last year. But we’re not Detroit fans, we are fans of the New York Yankees!  I realize that if everything went exactly right, the Yankees could still have lost this series. I realize that the Rangers are probably better than the Yankees as a sum of its parts than the Yankees.

Every Yankee Flaw Being Exposed

The Yankees have a powerful roster.
The Yankees can score a ton of runs.

They have multiple H.O.F. future inductees on their roster. Beyond that, they have a lot of players that will go down in history as really good players if not Hall members. They are close to the best record in baseball and have held that position at various points throughout the year.  The worst thing that can happen to them is that they will have to play a play-off game to get into the playoffs–if they lose every game for the rest of the season. How likely is that to happen? It would seem nigh onto impossible.
