F*&! Joe Torre

Since Joe Torre breaks our hearts, this blog will break his balls. Every day of the season I will detail the errors, misjudgements, and omissions that make him the most overrated manger in the history of the game (even more than Tommy Lasorda!). But Joe Torre is not just one bum in hero's clothing (i.e. the pinstripes); he is the quintessential counterfeit of excellence, a figure who embodies the triumph of the ersatz that pervades every aspect of our culture. No organization in sport, nay in civilization generally, has manifested a committment to continuing greatness like the New York Yankees, a beacon to all, in every field of endeavor, that the best is always possible. How intolerable is it then that the Yankees should be managed by a mediocrity on stilts, a figure with a reputation for greatness without any of the attributes thereof. Beginning with Torre and ending with Torre, this blog will look to smash idols we create out of inadvertence, ignorance, and complacency.

In Game Comment IV

Top of the ninth. Pinch hit Giambi for Cairo, and when they put on the shift, have Giambi bunt his way on. Pinch run the minor league infielder for Giambi. Have Damon bunt him over. Look to get a game tying single out of Jeter or AROD. By the way, I will sign off by noting that if the Yankees lose this game, the blame falls not only on the shoulders of Farnsworth, but on Err-Rod, who cost them the tying run with his fucking eleventh error of the season.
