Yankees 6, Blue Jays 4, top of the seventh inning. Scott Proctor pitching to Gregg Zaun with two outs and one on. Zaun walks.
Two on, two out, Yankees up by two.
Matt Stairs pinch hits for Royce Clayton.
Phillips visits the mound to stall. Posada visits the mound to stall. Myers is throwing like a crazy man in the bullpen trying to get warmed up.
Myers can not get warmed up in time, so, instead, Proctor pitches to Stairs.
Now, I know the Yankees won. In fact, Proctor struck out Stairs, luckily for Torre.
That's not the point. The point is, once again, Torre was caught sleeping.
I don't believe this kind of managerial inattention occurs with any other team. I don't recall this kind of managerial inattention occurring in previous seasons with Joe Torre. He's just mailing it in this season.
Seventy-two more games, Whitey.
