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.

Lucky

The Yanks showed alot of fight in their 9-7 win 2 nights ago, but they were awfully lucky as well. first torre all but blew the game by taking a sharp Villone out just to get a right-right match up with Proctor, who combined with Meyers to allow what should have been the winning runs. Then AROd hits atypical double play ball that happens to find a seam for an RBI. Then Charlie Manuel (OK he is worse than Torre) decides to pitch the sad Arthur Rhodes for the third night in a row, and of course he gets shelled. Well, we'll take it.
