Second-guessers are liars and cowards.

This from an online YES Network poll:

"Should Joe Torre have left Tanyon Sturtze in to pitch the eighth inning of Game 4 on Sunday?

YES 65%
NO 34%

Total responses: 1246"


The Yankees are six outs away from a World Series berth, and I'm supposed to believe that the fans wanted Tanyon Sturtze pitching his third inning instead of the most dominating player in postseason history?

The results of this poll also highlight two vexing phenomena:

1. Why do people lie in anonymous polls?
   
2. Why do people always find some bizarr-o way to blame the manager when their team loses a close game?
