To start things off, CBS Sports NFL analyst Jeff Kerr tweeted a controversial comment last night. In his opinion, Girardi should've been fired today.
Joe Girardi has to be fired by Monday right?

Philadelphia Phillies fans get upset pretty easily. Just ask Alec Bohm. But if Girardi isn't fired after today's game, this fan will be fuming.

Before quoting him on this, take note: Girardi did not say this. This was a fake quote made up by a fan for comedic purposes. The most hilarious part? Girardi probably did utter this word after watching his bullpen blow the game.
