What Did Joe Do?

On the day the Yankee organization honored greats from the past and turned the lights off forever at Yankee Stadium, they forgot to mention a couple of great Yankee. Who cares if Roger Clemens was not mentioned, but not to mention Joe Torre. The Yankee brass completely slapped Joe Torre in the face. The All Time winning st Yankee coach doesn't get a mention in the pre-game ceremonies? That's some bullshit if I've ever seen any. I mean how do you just forget to mention Joe Torre amongst all time Yankees. For Gods sake they mentioned Paul O'Neil, and not Joe. Torre won 4 World Series in New York, plus 13 consecutive post season appearances. He's a New York Native!!!!!! Last time i checked Joe didn't burn the Yankees the Yankees burnt Joe. Remember last winter the Yankees offered Torre a one year deal worth 5 Million dollars. One year and only 5 million? It's Joe Torre not Bobby Valentine. They chased him out of town and treated and continue to treat Torre like shit. You would think an organization with that much baseball history would have a little more respect for its greatest coach ever. (i Guess Torre should talk to Billy Martin)It Says allot about the new Yankee regime led by Hank Stienbrener. I bet the day Fenway closes down Johnny Damon and Wade Boggs will be mentioned and honored. Fuck they didn't even mention Don Mattingly cause he decided to be Joe Torres bench coach in L.A. and not Joe Geradi in New York. While the Yankees sit at home watching Baseball in October guess who's coaching in October....? Slap the evil Empire in the Face.

As Cool As a Cucumber

Jerry Manuel is as cool as a cucumber.

Manuel's optimism during the home stretch of the baseball season has the Metropolitans October Dreaming. The never negative Mets coach is reminiscent of the Great Joe Torre. Good ol' Cool Joe. Jerry has kept it cool in New York despite recent Media Heat of yet another late season implosion. Thursday night in the middle of a 9th inning meltdown a young rookie (Daniel Murphy) misses a sign and bunts foul for the fourth time and the first out. Once in the Dugout Jerry pulled the young Murphy aside and put his arm around him to let him know everything was going to be okay. Mets win 2 batters later.

Dont Trust the Sweater Vest

Jim Tressle doesn't fool me. Aside from Buffalo Bill in it up in National Championships as of late and looking like Mr. Rogers with a headset. I don't trust a guy who wears a sweater vest. He looks like a politician on the sidelines. Do we trust politicians...? Tressle has been luke warm this week on weather Chris "Beanie" Wells will play in the Collision at the Coliseum against USC. My bet is he will play. He (Tressle) is playing head games with the Trojans. Don't get me wrong, i respect Tressle and the great consistent job he's done with the Buckeyes. If it wasn't for a bad pass interference call in the endzone against Miami in the 02 Fiesta Bowl, Tressle and the Buckeyes would be 0-3 in National Title games and he would be on the hot seat. OVERRATED!!!!!!

Prediction
USC 31
OSU 21

Patriot Games Over

The Streak ends and another begins. On September 8th the secretive/sneaky Patriots finally took Tom Brady off the injury report since the 2005 Season opener. He has always been listed as probable because of a right shoulder he separated in 2002 - has become something of a joke. What once was a joke and a microcosm of the way the Patriots conduct off the Field business has become a crushing reality. The first game off the injury report, Tom Brady lands on it for the season. Against the Chiefs Brady suffered a season ending injury. If i know football and i know superstitions, i predict that Tom Brady will be on the Injury report listed as probable for the rest of his Bill Belichek coached career.

WHAT DO EWE THINK?
