Strange Girardi Move...

Anyone see what Yankee manager Joe Girardi did wih starter Ian Kennedy last night? I've never seen it happen before. Because the start of the game looked in question, he didn't want his starter, Kennedy, to warm-up for a game whose completion looked in jeopardy. So he starts reliever Brian Bruney who goes two innnings before giving the ball to Billy Traber and finally to Kyle Farnsworthless, who proceeds to give up a homerun. But in the sixth innning, he brings in Kennedy in the rain.

Can someone explain this to me? Was this a case of Girardi over-managing? This move was more convoluted than last night's Idol Gives Back....

And BTW, if Hughes and Kennedy continue their slow starts, it will be a long season in the Bronx. Joba's doing fine in the bullpen in the early going...
