Comments on: Coming soon: Why Joe Torre deserves to go http://riveraveblues.com/2007/04/coming-soon-why-joe-torre-deserves-to-go-248/ A New York Yankees Blog Sat, 26 May 2012 07:02:03 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.2 By: the Feudmeister http://riveraveblues.com/2007/04/coming-soon-why-joe-torre-deserves-to-go-248/#comment-1067 the Feudmeister Sat, 21 Apr 2007 13:46:07 +0000 http://riveraveblues.com/2007/04/20/coming-soon-why-joe-torre-deserves-to-go/#comment-1067 I could understand pulling Giambi late in a game in that situation if he's playing first base and if you're playing for one run. But with a 4-run lead? Even if Kevin Thompson were The Flash, he only scores one run, and that's if the bottom of the order can drive him home from first base. What's more likely? That? -- or Giambi hitting a 3-run homer in his next at-bat? The sooner Torre rides off into the sunset, the better. I don't know about Girardi taking over, though. He did great managing a team full of young players, but how well would he handle a team of veterans, some of whom played alongside him not that long ago? My vote goes to Mattingly; he may not be ready, but he'll have the players' respect for sure. Besides, what does he really have to do besides write the lineup every day, and hopefully pencil in the Rocket every 5th day come summertime?

I can already see the NY Post headline tomorrow NO MO JOE! That was really stupid of Torre to think the game was in the bag and take Giambi out. And Rivera in after giving Myers and Vizcaino one batter each? Double-You-Tee-Eff is that about? Girardi for Yankees Manager 2008! Terrible loss. I can already see the NY Post headline tomorrow

NO MO JOE!
