Sonora :: Torre Ejecutiva

All year he never let any pitcher get beyond the 6th inning. They could never develop arm strengt now they are all falling apart. The bullpen has been overworked. He is throwing starters in the bullpen. It’s leke watching Grady Little all over again.

Joe Torre was a catcher not a pitcher. MVP. And has a few World Series rings as a manager. Maybe you need to send your video to the Dodgers. They may give you his job. They are leading the West aren’t they. Be happy.

the guy has only been to 3 yankee games this year, did not even mention Joe Torre in the final game at Yankee stadium and spends more time ripping the MLB and The Dodgers than trying to fix his overpaid team so what the hell is this guys problem?

Because he overpaid his players and was stupid by not making the Johan Santana trade. In the offseason, he is going to overpay some more hitters, and they are going to have the worst staff again. He thinks he can just buy everyone and win now but will learn again next year that money doesnt buy championships anymore. The Dodgers have good young talent and I dont think the Yankees could compete in the weak but VERY strong pitching division that it the NL West. Just look at Jake Peavy and Lincecum and the ERA on their teams. They may be in last place, but you wont get an easy win everytime you play them like you would Baltimore. Joe Torre is living it up in LA while they are going home.

is $50.00 us dollars enough money to make a good living in HERMOSILLO SONORA MEXICO or if its not what would be the amount to live there?not to live like a millionaire but to make a decent living. that is $50.00 per week. thank you for your answer!!!
i think that some one from HERMOSILLO SONORA MEXICO can really answer this

$50.00 per week to live on does not seem to be a comfortable thing. Of course you will have to be living under a bridge, with no kind of bills coming your way to be paid.

Still it will be very very difficult to survive at $50.00 per week. It takes you next to begging at a road-side, that will be the amount of money one gets to generate in a week, and that too with much luck.

As a Yankees fan I really hope all this turns out not to be as big of a deal every-body’s making it out to be but if it’s really that bad, filled with personal secrets and what people say, how can anyone in that clubhouse trust him? Does this cause a rift? Can nobody vent in the locker room without fear of reading about it in 7 years?

Joe Torre broke one of baseball’s unwritten rules. He should not have publicized his altercations over time with the yankee organization. It tarnishes his character with baseball personal and more importantly his players.

the best and safe way to drive please?

maybe it was the payroll and the players torre had with the yankees that made all those succesful seasons. maybe torre’s just a terrible manager like he was with every other team except the yankees. opinions?
good call i am a mets fan
im just looking for someone to say torre isn’t a great manager

YES!

Look at Torre’s managerial record before he went to the Yanks. 15 seasons of below averageness. He was a very average manager before someone gave him a team of all stars. He had a great team that anyone could have won 4 World Series with and a better manager might have won more.

Now that he’s with a crappy team again, suddenly his "great manager" skills aren’t so evident. I am of the belief that he shouldn’t be in the Hall of Fame unless he can show he can win with a team that isn’t the Yankees, but it will never happen because he never will; yet he’ll still get the hall becuase he was in the right place at the right time.

How tall is the foul ball poles on the left field and right field side of the park, and what do you score/call it when a baseball flies over and past one?

Prior to being the Yanks skipper Girardi played ball from 1989 to 2003 playing for the Cubs, Rockies, Yanks, Cubs again and Cardinals. He had a short stint in broadcasting before becoming the Yanks bench coach. Then it was off to Florida to manage the 2006 season. He was hired in Oct 2007 by the Yanks to begin managing them in 2008.

Foul poles vary in height in each stadium. Prior to 1920-something foul lines were infinite. But since then they end at the outfield fence. So anything hit from the foul pole inward is fair. (foul pole included. So why aren’t they called fair poles???) But since the fence is now the end if a ball is "wrapped around a pole", over the fence on the fair side but lands in the stands on the foul side, it is a fair ball and thus a home run.

Or, he’s just lucky to have Manny on board?

Joe Torre is a great manager, but the key to the Dodger success this year is that they are in an extremely weak division and lucked out with their substandard record.

With the LA Dodgers making the playoffs, Joe Torre has his 14th straight playoff appearance. This ties the MLB record for a manager set by Bobby Cox of the Atlanta Braves. Is he that good or just lucky to manage great teams? Let me know what you think.

Good question and an interesting one as well. I would have to side with being more great than lucky. Yes, he was blessed with some great players however having great players doesn’t necessarily equate to great teams. It’s up to the manager to set everything in motion by using what he has to the max!

Let’s not forget too that Torre has to deal with one factor that no other manager had to face. That of course was the Steinbrenner factor! I give Torre a lot of credit for keeping his cool all those years. 10 division titles, 6 American League Pennants and 4 world championships. That takes much more than luck.

Torre is a future Hall of Famer to be sure.
