Guccione nailed it

That was a bit more than "good timing" IMO. It seemed to take him a couple of seconds to realize what had happened. Not suprising, but it allowed F2 to make a big enough scene so when Guccione finally did make the call, it looked like he was persuaded into it by F2. Good call, decent sell, but delayed beyond what would be considered "good timing".

Girardi threw a big league tantrum not seen in Yankee Stadium for years. Welke came in from 3rd and said "Ok Joe, you've made your point." He sure did.
