As thou being on the make was an off the cuff impromptu for a Supreme Court nominee..
Girardi never ever second guessing himself imaginative adjustments to his self defeating syndrome.
When Phil Hughes was pulled in the 5th, he went screaming into the tunnel....his frayed psyche climbing the walls. Girardi never the father figure to youthful dreams of being and becoming his binder and “gimme the ball, kid” playing out his “30 lashes with a wet noodle” syndrome.
He couldn’t dominate an inning no less mine his pitch count . Finito to David Robertson’s home run gafes and his whupping boy A.J.

In the annals of literature gay bashing evolving in cyber bullying
In the annals of literate humanity, gay bashing morphing as cyber bullying was an anachronism ... on our shores aside from Crete, Theseus slaying the Minotaur, the Prince’s father missing a cue, took his own life in Athens...
An eighteen year old freshman violinist at New Jersey’s Rutgers University, took his own by leaping off the George Washington Bridge , his computer cell phone found in his parked car.. A dorm roommate betrayed his sexuality, using a web con cam streaming his privacy for a hundred and forty eight other voyeurs.
Il
Goethe’s “Werther” living under the slashing ebbs and tides of conformity took his life...and Andre Gide claimed a false accusation may be more promiscuous than rumor and innuendo. That remaining in the closet is a life preserver in a ocean of self serving humans who gave up on themselves in search of a vicarious cheap thrill.
Why impeach a macho society and pop culture for being a waste land......out of touch with the needs of growing up in a tech savvy reality scene gone bonkers ( “don’t ask don’t tell”)
III
Robert Anderson’s “Tea and sympathy” had John Kerr playing out the role at a boarding school, being caught skinny dipping with a teacher hankering for Andre Gide’s Parisian proclivities...
”All you can give the victims is tea and sympathy” quoteth Deborah Kerr’s alter ego at “living a lie”. sewing circle off campus on Gayly, across the tennis courts.
“Nother shot of Jack Daniels, sweetie?”
IV
“Deja Vu all over again” may be a cliche but in this instance the banality of any morality. Merely lip service and con..failing to get to the insecurities underlying human fraility ...their whupping scent.... failing to come to grips with their own moments of abusive loss. Not finding their own way..
V
But Jascha Heifitz and Isaac Stern virtuoso violinists in their own personas did....throwing up their hands in consternation. Didn’t they fight out the struggle on their imperial strings?... Jascha noshing a pastrami at the deli on North Canon Drive.” The grub, waiter..”
Isaac Stern exhausted at salvaging Carnegie Hall from the wrecking cranes “Could I save his soul from jumping? ... my own reputation at stake? I have northing more to prove.”
VI
Goethe may have thought of rewriting the Magna Carta. Dante and the Bard grabbling with their own personas in a cosmos of dissembling 21st century cyber bullying. .
