Former New York Yankees manager Joe Girardi may be a broadcaster now, but he's not done coaching.
Just ask his partner with the Yankees Entertainment and Sports Network, Michael Kay, who got an earful from Girardi during Tuesday's game.
'You Were Really Upset'
In the top of the fifth inning in the Yankees game against the Chicago White Sox, Girardi harkened back to the bottom of the fourth to highlight what they thought was bizarre behavior from Kay.

“Let’s talk about what you did last half inning,” Girardi said. “You ask for tea, hot tea. Not sure why; I don’t know if you’re cold. And Jennifer was nice enough to give you your tea and your Equal. And you steeped, and then you added your Equal. That dissolves, that dissolves! And you stirred it with your glasses.”
Girardi was referencing Kay using the arm of his glasses to better mix the sugar substitute into his tea, something Kay argued is necessary to ensure all the sweetener makes its way into the beverage.

He added that he let the arm of his glasses dry naturally instead of wiping them on his pants or a napkin, which further confounded Girardi.
That said, Kay wasn't about to give up on the main argument, and he had a fact-check for Girardi as well.
"You have to stir, and it was Splenda, not Equal," Kay said.
The two broadcasters seemed to come to a détente, though it was more of a "agree to disagree" situation.
"That's a first for me. I've never seen anyone do that. That's why I was so taken aback," Girardi said.
Kay still wasn't backing down.
"Settle in. If we work together another 10 years, you're going to see it a lot," Kay said.
Oh yeah, and the Yankees beat the White Sox 3-2.
