Gardy gets 2 year Extension

[DTro]

I hear the Yankees are throwing a party.

[TR21HP]

Last time I checked Yankees didn't make the World Series either.

12-2 playoff record vs Gardy

dtro, although i got a good laugh out of your "yankees throwing a party comment", i really dont think you can blame gardy for the twins recent poor performances in the post season... take this year for example, gardy put the same players that got us to 94 wins on the field for the post season... it's not his fault that our players choke when the main spotlight is on them. i really dont see one logical way you can put the blame square on gardy's shoulders. gardy is putting the right players on the field... the players that got us to the post season... they are just not coming through in the clutch.

It's ALWAYS the managers fault...even when it's not! That's why players are never fired.

[fishersofmen]

Yep, same thing in other sports. You would think athletes who are paid millions of dollars and cheered by thousands of fans would perform at the same level regardless of who is the coach or manager. Its the manager-coaches job to put there team in a position to win not light a fire under their a$$.

There is something about those Yankees though.......

Did you guys know that Gardy holds the University of Texas baseball record for RBI's in a game at an amazing 10...?

Fire Childress..... Uhh, I meant Fire Gardy!!!! While we are at it, Fire Frazier!!! He is horrible! Fire Brewster!! Oh wait, already done.

Stop blaming the coaches. Gardy is a great coach. If you don't believe me, go ahead and cheer for some cleveland teams for a few years. Let me know how that works out.

Thank you! I get soooo sick and tired of listening to people all over the internet and everywhere else complain about every single coach in Minnesota. The team loses...oh well I guess we should probably go ahead and blame the coach...yeah great idea! FIRE ____! FIRE _____!

i agree with gardy being a good coach, chilly and brewster not to much

Gardy was just selected the 3rd best Manager in All of baseball by an expert panel on MLB Network....pretty good show if you have the channel and Harold Reynolds was PO-ed that Gardy wasn't #1.....he thought it was a no-brainer all things considered.

[harvey lee]

Gardy has done a wonderful job with what he has to work with.

Very happy for the extension.

The Yanks have been a pain but that will turn around.

Must not have considered post-season success then.......

[Trucks]

Does anyone remember what the twins were before Gardy took over for Tom Kelly? We all know Tom won the two world series but the twins were just awful during the late 90s. He helped turn around the twins to what they are today.

[greebs]

nobody could have done well with that group of misfits on some of those tk managed teams. we all know how well tk did once he had a team that had some players on it.

gardy had done well though with the players and division placement that he's been given. I think I'll be a lot happier with him this year now that lnp isn't there to seduce him into so much undeserved playing time.

They absolutely took the play-offs into consideration and mentioned it would be silly to judge him adversely by losing 3 5 game series to one of if not the greatest teams money can buy year in and year out!

It will be tough to replace N Punto but Gardy will find a way and the tunnel vision batting average only guys will be a lot happier too!

Go Twins/Gardy!

[zepman]

How many World Series have the Yankees won in that time-frame...seems other teams don't have a problem beating the big bad Yanks.

I like Gardy...he just doesn't get enough heat for being like 2-22 (estimate, but close) in playoff action.

Show me the money Gardy!!!
