I just had to share
The news of last night's game that BGW brings is so revealing and his summary comment so perfect in its contempt for Torre that I wanted it on the main page:
BGW:
If you listened to the radio broadcast of last night's game, you'll recall the announcers kept talking about how Torre was a genius for batting A-Rod fifth; according to the NY Times, it was a mistake! I quote from the article:"Rodriguez was batting fifth, the result of a lineup snafu. Torre had told the bench coach Lee Mazzilli to insert Gary Sheffield into the lineup and bump everybody down. That resulted in Rodriguez dropping to fifth for the first time this season.Torre did not tell Rodriguez initially, but he later found him and explained the mix-up. Rodriguez had no problem with it, and Torre saw no reason to change.
"To me, lineups aren't as important as they are to other people," Torre said." You mean, the same way actually managing the team isn't as important to you as it is to other people?
