I Hate New York

This just in, Joe Torre just had Joba Chamberlin and Kyle Farnsworth start getting ready in the pen. Seriously, has any manger ever been rewarded more for trying to destroy a bullpen? I think Torre has to go, if for no reason other then that I am disgusted this is a topic of discussion every October after the Yankees are pasted by a team with half their payroll.

The question then becomes, who takes over the most storied franchise in American Sports? (My bowels just exploded). Insiders will continue to talk about the usual cast of characters; Tony Larussa, Dusty Baker, Larry Bowa, and Don Mattingly. Then there are the YES men, former Manager of the Year Joe Girardi and Paul O’Neil. For me, there is only one man who can fill this job.....….Bobby Valentine.

Bobby V has Three essential things going for him:
1. He is a true baseball man: The Yanks need to return to the NL style that pushed them over the top in the late 90’s. Torre has relied too much on Steinbrenner’s over the top spending and the constant flow of HGH, the Cream, and the Clear into the Yankee clubhouse.

2. He knows NYC: Bobby V cannot fold in the face of media pressure. This is a major factor for most who will be considered. Bobby V was respected by the media during his time with the Mets.

3. I cannot stand Bobby V: I think he is absolutely absurd. Bobby V is a cross between Peter Griffith and Mr. Burns. He is the perfect villain for people who hate the Yankees to project their vitriolic hatred for the Evil Empire. It was getting hard to hate Torre for his constant praise of Tim Wakefield and Jason Varitek. This will make it easier for everyone.

So there you have it. It should be a one horse field. I figure Torre can the join the Sox as one of Tito’s bench coaches……….Well maybe not.

Hell, I love seeing the Yankees loose in October, maybe Torre should stay. The glory of a Bobby V hiring is that the Yankee's cannot get more talented unless they get a dominate Ace like Santana, and the Sox can outbid them. They just become even more dislikable.

They should probably just keep Torre to ensure they fill the new stadium. I just wish this didn't become an annual ritual. They should bring A-Rod back to. They are following Connie Mack's guide to making money in Baseball; do good enough to appease rational fans without paying the playoff bonuses for the ALDS and WS. More power to them, because the Curse of Giambi is alive and well....
