You wanted Torre gone. And the organization listened. Disrespected him on the way out, too. You got what you wanted. New manager. Younger manager. A fiery new young manager. Everything fell into place for you. But look what happened. Whose season ended in early September? Who's about to get to the NLCS with a good chance to reach the World Series? :shhh: |

Posted Image VICTORY BUKKAKE! Is it a surprise that Torre leaves the Yankees and gets out of the first round? Is it a surprise that Torre leaves the Yankees and they can't even reach the first round? Does that not make it perfectly clear for you that Torre, for at least the last three years, had been willing a weak Yankee team to playoff appearances? Like the Dodgers, the Yankees would be on the verge of something special had they only shown the Skipper some respect. This is what being ungrateful gets you. But then again, this is what you wanted.
After he blessed us with four championships, we should all be. You know what else loves Torre? The postseason. That's become more obvious than ever. |

Girardi has sucked....but Torre still needed to go. The only REASON LA is in it is Manny! |

Its not just Manny. I said at the start of the year LA would go to the world series and Torre would get WAY too much credit because of everything that happened here. That team had Martin, Loney, Kemp, Eitheir, Billingsley, Broxton, Penny (who isn't even playing well), Saito, Kershaw, Lowe, payroll flexibility, the young players to make a big (Manny) trade, and they were in a terrible division. That team is stacked and was the perfect situation for any manager going into the season. |

Oh, will you give it up! Just give Mr. Torre his deserved credit. Because I'm sure if the Dodgers had won 60 games, you would be blaming him. It works both ways, guys. |

Why would I be sarcastic? Torre brought four championships here, the organization treated him like crap, he went elsewhere and lifted a team from last year's mediocrity to this year's NLDS. Meanwhile, the Yankees are watching the playoffs from the stands or at home. It's not a stretch to say that the Yankees, with their talent and payroll advantages over the Dodgers, would be poised to claim another World Series if Torre was still at the helm. No sarcasm here, guy. Just facts. |

He doesn't and never will get credit from me for being a great field decision maker! He is a good politician who sells the team concept above the disease of self.....but that doesn't mean he deserves credit for the Dodgers.....which he clearly doesn't. I also maintain that had he stayed, we still would not have made the playoffs and in all likelyhood would have had a sorrier record and definitely an imploded bullpen! |

Is the team concept not what matters most? The Dodgers are winning because they've bought into the team concept. Mr. Torre has cured them of that disease of self. They're no longer divisive. They're a collective; a group operating as one. When that happens, special things can happen. Joe Torre understands this and that's why he manages like he does. That's why he's had the success that he's had. Unfortunately, the Yankees and some of you guys didn't understand that.
So the turnaround just happened? They plucked a playoff berth out of thin air and an NLDS win over the heavily favored Cubs was delivered by the yellow unicorn that came trotting down the rainbow road. Mr. Torre's trying to steal credit from the unicorns. And the pixies!
Based on what? Based on Mr. Torre missing the playoffs and leading sorry teams in his years here? Well, that never happened. And I don't recall the Dodgers bullpen imploding. Do you? Just admit it. What this year's Yankee team needed was what it had but threw away. That's Mr. Torre. It's true what they say. You never really know what you've got until it's gone. And, unfortunately, with the way the front office burned that bridge, Mr. Torre isn't coming back. :no1: |

The turnaround happened because of the acquisition of Manny....prior to that they were sliding down a slippery slope to mediocrity. The bullpen was as sorry as it gets under Torre.......don't pretend you forgot how badly it was managed by him already! And beating the Cubs in the playoffs is no big feat. Its the equivalent of the drubbings the Red Sox took for decades....an expected result! |

Am surprised at you strider.... if you're serious. And if you're not... you almost had me. BUT ~ either way.... I agree with what you said. Give Torre what he deserves... the Congrats he deserves. Manny didn't do this ~ some of you are so blindsighted. Manny helped ~ definitely agree on that but Torre managed his ego perfectly. Torre may not be the best on field manager and makes some moves that you sit there and say wtf... but one thing Torre does better than any other manager is take big headed jerks and turn them into a winning team. Sorry... you'll never know if the Yankees would have made the playoffs if he was here because he wasn't. So that's just a stupid assumption. |

Hunny.... :angel: Did I say Manny couldn't hit before Torre??? Noooooooooo did not say that. That statement of yours implies that the Yankees should be winning the WS every year since A~Rod has been here because he is the best player in baseball. Silliness. Correct me if I'm wrong... but a team effort is a team effort starting with the manager and how he handles a team of big heads. |

The Dodgers were a .500 team that couldn't score before Manny got there. He totally turned that team around, Torre did nothing but sit in the dugout and pick his nose while Manny went on a two month tear not seen in baseball since the days of a juicing Barry Bonds. Manny is the reason the Dodgers are in the playoffs. |

I'd like to agree with these statements. If the Dodgers hadn't lucked out because the people in Boston got sick of Manny's act, none of this would've happened for them. |

While Manny is the reason, Torre is still going to get his credit and deserves it. The Dodgers are in the NLCS and we are at home. Now he gets mad props if they win it all, but I dought they will. I hope they don't, already it looks bad from the outside looking in (even though we all know the truth) that the Yankees missed out because Torre was gone and the Dodgers are where they are because of him. Let's go Phillies! :rock: |

Joe Torre just willed a 3 run HR out of Manny to get the Dodgers back in the game! From 8-2 to 8-5, that Torre is some motivator! :rock: |

So Torre deserves credit because Manny went there, hit the hell out of the ball and got them into the playoffs? :please: If they didn't make that trade, Torre is at home too. I give credit where it's due and for the Dodgers the only one who should get the credit it Manny, period. |
