Yeah, Gonzalez was going to be able to execute a squeeze bunt against Rivera!! You really are an idiot; maybe in the pee wee league you played in it was possible for the slowest guy on the team to drop perfectly executed bunts against 12 year old pitchers, but it's a bit different in Game 7 of the World Series against the best closer in baseball history. ...[text shortened]... agers/torrejo01.shtml
In 14 years before the Yankees, he went 894-1003.
You are very predictable. When you are cornered and wrong, you begin the name calling. That is useless here because I guarantee you I have forgotten more baseball than you will ever know. Don't ever make the mistake of believing that your bully tactics are going to win anything with me. You always believe that your opinion is correct, but here's a newsflash for you WRONG!!!!!
I have news for you sport...there are all different types of managers in PROFESSIONAL baseball. There are strict disciplinarians and managers who "let 'em play". There are also many in between. There have been many of all genres fired too. The key to being a great manager is to the the right kind of manager for a particular team. When you have a team of kids (all PROFESSIONALS) like Tampa has, the manager has to be much more of a strict disciplinarian, and that is what they have. The Yankees have a predominantly veteran club and you will often ruffle feathers with a strict disciplinarian due to the egos involved. You are smart enough to figure this out, aren't you?
Regarding not getting in your face on your "bold" super bowl prediction....how much did you win on that? I bet $500.00 on the Giants in Vegas. I must have agreed with you. Perhaps that is why I didn't get in your face? Duh!!!
I love that you picked the Celtics in "upsets" against the Pistons and the Lakers. I don't recall the Celtics being underdogs in either series. Furthermore, I thought you extolled the Celtics as the best team all year long. I have never professed to know basketball as well as baseball, but I have a fan basis to argue from. I was supporting the Rockets efforts all year, as I will this year. We'll see how good the Celtics are this year. I think the Rockets will be better. We will see.
Torre will be in the HOF when his managing days are done. Mark it down. I have told you it will happen. You want to argue the contrary, let's get it on. This will be yet another time you stepped on your tongue.
