Joe Girardi's name has been coming up a lot as some MLB teams look for a new manager, including the Mets. Here is an interview Girardi did with "Mike and the Mad Dog" in October 2006, a year before he was hired to manage the Yankees and shortly after he was fired as the Marlins’ skipper (despite being the 2006 Manager of the Year). He was part of the TV broadcast team for the 2006 World Series and discussed the series with Mike Francesa and Chris “Mad Dog” Russo, including his take on Tony LaRussa not getting Kenny Rogers ejected for pine tar, as well as his future managerial prospects.
