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.

Just Change the Name of the Show

to Red sox Tonight and give over the pretense of being a national broadcast. After Ortiz's walk-off tonight, Kruk effused that he and the assembled shiteaters--Ravech, Olney and Phillips--were "praying that Loretta didn't hit into a DP" so that Ortiz could win the game for the Red Sox. In other words he openly proclaimed their rooting interest in seeing the Sox win and the rookie closer for the Indians blow up so that they would lose (yet again). You couldn't see greater chowderheadism if you were watching NESN. Do these schmos have any idea how unprofessional they have become? Is there any way of telling them?
