Torre nanages the dodgers like he still has the hame run power that he
had with the yanks.He really stinks as when to take the pitcher out.
When you can’t beat teams like washington and pittsburgh you have
got a problem.

I liked it when Bonds patted, who was it, Robinson Cano? or Jeter? on the cheek when he (Bonds) stole second base the other night.

Torre didn’t win those World Series – Buck Schowalter built a great team out of crap, was fired, then Torre stayed out of their way. Then Schowalter went to Arizona, built a good team out of nothing, was fired, and Bob Brenley stayed out of their way. The baseball universe owes Buck Schowalter 5 World Series rings.

If you want to know why Joe Torre sucks as a manager look at the bench. Those are his guys. Tonight at first base: Miguel Cairo.

Hey retarded donut, your joke somehow snuck between my legs, under my glove, and rolled slowly into right field.

Ooooh. And YOUR joke would have hurt too, if it wasn’t for the, you know, the Yanks’ epic choke, the World Series win and the current ownership of the best record in baseball. When the Yanks or the Mets win a Series this century, I figure you’ll let us know.

Maybe he was hoping to make win number 350 an easy one.

Best Rod Beck moment I remember was someone asking him at some point about his….erm, lack of physical training. His response?

“I’ve never seen anyone go on the DL with pulled fat.”

Rod Beck played for the Red Sox too. Don’t think we aren’t sad.

“for what he’s being paid”?

For what he’s being paid, Clemens should go from player to player on the opposing team and systematically bribe them into throwing the game.

Don’t get me started on what he’s being paid.

If this was Clemens’s side day (two days after his last start, where a pitcher has a throwing session in the bullpen to keep his arm in good shape), it wasn’t a bad thing to use him. Especially if, as D.A. pointed out, Torre was otherwise out of pitchers.

The Hon. knows shit about baseball. Clemens needed to work a few innings and he flew all the way to SF, the game is all about killing two balls with one strike. Torre is a great manager, and I dislike the Yankees.
Go Giants! (Sob, it’s so cold in the cellar.)

I (casually) watched the Saturday game while doing some housework, and was quite pleased by workout the NYY bullpen got, and all for a loss!

So, how about those Bears? That was a sweet eagle that the handler scored from the safety zone, eh!

Hating the Yankees unites as many people as loving the Yankees. We can all be proud of our idiot tribalism.

Hating the Yankees is a hobby.

Hating the Pistons is a duty.

Lousy Pistons.

Jesus, Rod Beck died? Man … him and Mike Jackson were one of the great 1-2 closing punches in the mid-90s for the Giants. The Fu Manchu, the beer gut, the swinging arm … Rod Beck. That’s really too bad.

I saw “R. Clemens” in the boxscore today, and I spent 20 minutes trying to find out who *really* pitched for the Yanks in relief. Like, maybe they signed some journeyman named Richard Clemens or something.

But, comically, there was no mistake.
