Joe Girardi is fighting for his job. The Philadelphia Phillies skipper has managed his team to a 21-27 record so far, despite having one of the league's most potent offenses at his disposal. At the time of writing, the Phillies are teetering on the edge of a 3-5 loss at the hands of the San Francisco Giants. The game is in the bottom of the tenth inning.
Philadelphia Phillies fans aren't waiting around for a final score. They want Joe Girardi fired immediately. In fact, they've been wanting it for a few days now. Here are some of the best Twitter reactions calling for Joe Girardi's dismissal.

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.
