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.

WE TEND TO FORGET

because Farnsworth and Vizcaino are even worse that Scott Proctor still sucks. Today he reminded us forcefully, giving up a double to his first batter, walking the second to load the bases and then proceediing to walk two more to lose the game. The Yankees bats helped, of course, by failing to score in the seventh with 2 men on and less than one out and then scoring only one in the ninth with 2 men on and nobody out. I have no words to express just how bad this team is, surely the worse assemblage of high-talent players in modern baseball history.
