If the Yankees were not so stupid as to let Joe Torre go they would not be
on vacation now.

How stupid can you possibly be? Torre won the division simply because
there was no competition. C'mon. 84 wins? That's barely .500 and he
still won by only 2 games. If you were paying attention at all
(doubtful), it would be obvious to see why Girardi is ten times the
manager that Torre ever dreamed of being. Girardi is not in the post-
season because he lost 60% of his starting rotation but it was the 20%
called Wang that really made the difference.

Once Joe Torre acquired Manny Ramirez there was no stopping the Dodgers from
fulfilling their destiny to return to the post season. Meanwhile the
Yankees sort of messed up the season and are going nowhere. At least Sir
Alex went for .302 with 35 home runs and 103 RBI on his way to having the
best stats of any hitter ever to play in any era.

I find it hilarious that it took you two tries to post this drivel. The
Dodgers play in the weakest division of a weaker league (their NLW
rivals are a combined 66 games under .500 whereas the Yankees ALE rivals
are a combined 45 games *OVER* .500 and that's a 111 game swing in case
you are mathematically challenged) and yet the Yankees, despite losing
all their starting pitchers for some length of time (other than Mussina)
still finished with a 5 games better record than the Dodgers.

The dodgers made the playoffs by default. There are 3 other NL teams
with better records than theirs. The Yankees in contrast have the best
record of all non-playoff AL teams. And that's despite their injuries.

I hope you enjoy the Dodgers 3 extra games. Go Blue!

What you said had pretty much nothing at all to do with what I said. If you
think that Hankenstein knows more about how to win at Major League Baseball
than Joe Torre more power to you.

What I said had everything to do with what you said. Your last response
here says a lot about your ability to comprehend.

I love how he changed from earlier comparing Torre to Girardi to now
comparing Torre to Hank. Like Sarah Palin, RickyBobby needs to be
protected from actually opening his mouth.

In the Dodgers' defense, once they clinched, they basically treated
the last four regular season games like spring training. Look at who
was marched out in the series finale against San Diego and the first
game against San Francisco. And Torre continuing the tradition of
player-coaches in the last game? So, had they attempted to remain
competitive, the margin would have been greater.

Was it Torre? Clearly not. The Dodgers lost MANY games because of
Joe's insistence on standing pat. During the last eight-game slide, I
recall at least two occasions where Juan Pierre led off an inning, as
the tying run, with a walk or single. Not once did he take a third
step away from first base. The man is a walking triple and Joe didn't
move him. He insisted on riding Broxton, despite the fact that Jumbo
Johnny blew as many saves this season as Rivera did in his career. He
was brought in to deal with the clubhouse issues that felled Grady
Little last year. Yet, even after Manny and Casey joined up, the
fortune of the team was dictated by Jeff Kent's attitude, same as last
year. Note that only when Kent went on the DL did the Dodgers finally
start playing like a playoff team.

The turn-around came because a disgruntled Red Sox player came over
with something to prove. He has proven it and will continue to do so
when he signs with the Yankees next year. I wonder, once Manny joins
the Yankee line-up, how many of these Red Sox trolls (pulling double-
duty here and in the Angel NG) will be heard from.
