Bases loaded with nobody out and Twins can't pull the trigger. Jeezus.

Yeah but Mauer would have been home already were it not for that missed line call.

yeah but, yeah but... yeah buts are little brown furry things that hop in the grass and eat lettuce and carrots.

It was a blown call, but the Twins made up for and had the bases loaded with no outs.

The ump blew it but so did the Twins. Let's move on to Game 3.

I know but I reserve the right to bitch.

True.

I wonder if the union will fine the LF ump. Or maybe he will be taken off the crew for the rest of the series. Either way, he'll never call a post season game again.

Pavano has pitched well except for the two solo shots by A Rod and Posada.

Its too bad the Red Sox were swept earlier today.

Classic Twins ninth against the Yankees. Ooh, I'm afraid to throw a strike...walk. Repeat. Repeat. Ooh, now I have to throw a strike...run. Repeat.

I swear the Twins play the Yankees like a AA team plays a major league team. Expecting to lose and afraid to do anything wrong.

OK buddy last time I'm adressing this. I never said I'm rooting for the Dodgers. I never said I hope the Dodgers beat the Yankees. I said I hope Torre out manages Girardi.

La Russa is by far the best manager, but it would be great to see Torre get back to the WS and play against NY. Of course he doesn't care who his team plays but it would be nice to see him back in the Bronx and I'm sure the crowd would cheer for him.

Of all the NL I have never rooted for (I don't hate pro sports teams, that's silly, it's a business) is Atlanta. Calling themselves America's Team is just stupid.

You're delusional. You really think the crowd would cheer for him? Hell no. Do you even LIVE in New York? And know what the perception about Torre is around here?

You don't think Torre would think it extra special to beat the Yankees in the WS? Once again, you're not thinking very clearly.

And why do you want Torre to outmanage Girardi? Girardi is the Yankees manager. As a Yankees fan, you should want the manager to maximize the team's chances of winning.

Oh wait I get it. You want the Yankees to win, but for Girardi to start Phil Coke in Game 1, then use CC as a LOOGY late in the game. And for Melky to play catcher and Molina to lead off. But the Yankees pull it out in the end !!!

Squirrel, calm down. I'm not delusional.

Yes the crowd will applaud when he's announced with the line-up.

No, I don't live in New York. I couldn't even afford an 850 sq foot appartment in Brooklyn let alone 500 on the UES.

Of course Torre would think it would be extra special to beat NY. They screwed him big time. I'm thinking clearly.

But Torre has far more managerial experience than Girardi and eventhough strength will be small ball, it will all come down to pitching and when to make the switches.

ok I'm calm now. It's just that you said that Torre wouldn't care who he plays. of course, if he gets the world series, he gets to the world series, but to think he doesn't care who he plays is ridiculous. bobby abreu just said yesterday that he's been waiting all year to play the yankees. umm..i didn't know abreu had such a grudge. imagine torre. and with torre's book he'll get both boos and applause.

both managers are equally bad. but as a yanks fan, you should pray and hope that girardi finds a stroke of brilliance and that torre falters with one of his silly moves yet again (assuming, of course they meet in the WS).

dunno- Are you still planning to run Phillie Nov 22?

Hope he manages against Scioscia better than he plays chess.

I also posted the mathematical correction 30 minutes before your reply. Thanks buddy.

You still haven't addressed my main point--why the hell are you rooting for the Dodgers? Of all NL teams, they should be the one you should hate MOST (besides mets of course). You think Torre would like anything better than beating the Yankees in Game 7 at Yankee Stadium? He would revel in it. He doesn't give a sh*t about the Yankees anymore. He hates them.

You aren't a Yankees fan if you root for another team. Like I said, you're a Torre fan and not a Yankees fan.

Yay, I'm glad the Yankees won! And I'm glad Torre had a great turn out of New York big names for his Safe At Home Foundation. It's great to see that he was rooting for NY in the Series, too!!
