1. I have always liked him since he was a player.
I hate Steinbrenner and the entire family but I am a Yankees fan since childhood.

2. Yeah, he's still a jerk.
Never liked him even when he was the manager for the Marlins down here (needlessly confrontational), and his snub of the Orioles when they offered him the managerial postion was rather rude.

3. Can't do it
I don't care if he saved a dozen kittens from a blazing fire, he's a Yankee.

5. I do like him.
Loved him when he was a Cub. Wish they would have made him manager instead of Lou Piniella. Maybe it would've been the Cubs with the Series win last night had they made a different choice.

7. When Girardi was with the Rockies...
He was a strong union man and was the player representative of the team.
