[Don Jacob]

I posted this in another thread about Torre and Arod but I will post it here.....

Torre is not a good manager, I dont know why LA wants him.  The guy did jack shit before he came to the bronx.  And those years the yanks were dominate the hardest decision he had to make was who starts in LF... shane spencer or ricky ledee.  What have the Yanks won since Paul O'Neil and Don Zimmer left.... jack shit.

LOL aren't u a mets fan you probably hate the Yankees, fuck yeah I want Torre in LA and Arod its about time we started winning some championships

Hes right, Torre really isn't a good manager. How hard is it to manage the yankees, really?

He is horrible when it comes to the bullpen.  He wasn't very good at small ball when he was a NL manager.  He didn't play any small ball in the AL, even though you really dont have too.  What makes you think he will be able to play small ball now.  When times get bad in the clubhouse he is not good at keeping shit in check which is evident with AROD in 06.  When there is bad call against his team isn't one to go out and have his players back.  Though Wee Willie Randope makes him look like Sweet Lou.  A lot of this stuff never really gets mentioned b/c at one point the Yanks were dominate. And two, b/c the media loves him.  If he had the arrogance of Bobby Valentine (mets old manager and twice the manager Torre is) the media would of hated him and the fans as well and Torre would of been driven out of town a few years ago.  And like Anthony said, those late 90's yankee teams how hard was it to manage.  hell even the past few season with all the injuries he still was able to fill those holes with good ball players unlike most teams who have to use AAA players.

show me some great in game decisions he made.  Show me somewhere b4 being handed one of the greatest rosters in baseball where anyone ever mentioned Torre as even a decent manager.  Show me what the yanks have one since the heart and soul (Paul O'Neil) and the brains (Don Zimmer) have left the team, jack shit.

One thing I will give Torre is the fact he was good at keeping management away from the team.

you have to understand that ANYTHING is an upgrade from little...even a damn beat up ford pinto would have been a better manager  than grady little...and now we have one of the best out there..

joe torre is number 8 on the all time winningest manager list, with 2,067 victories, youre saying thats a fluke?

[Sanford - V. President of the Dangerous Crew Movement]

the baseball manager has the least influence on their team than all the US major sports manager/coaches combined.

dodgers stay suckin more than anna nicole.

He got there because of all the great teams he was handed.

If that's the case then why hire Torre and not a cheaper manager?  It's gonna be like 5x the salary of Little.  It's just an expensive PR move to keep the dumb Dodger fans happy...I give him until the ALl Star break till people start bitching about him too...

The La Bums will still under achieve.

If your gonna call any1 bums it should be your pacers buddy 

[herpes]

the one thing Torre might do is attract potential free agents.  But besides that you're basically getting a manager just like Little.

because joe torre is a future HOF manager, and he is the motherfucking man!

ill let our 08 season speak for itself.

[Javier]

It's all going to be how our GM does in the off-season...the fucking manager is so insignificant.  All those Yankees World Series rings are thanks to Cashman and money.  That's why Cashman is a Senior Vice President and Torre got offered a one year deal.
