I really don't know anymore. I don't know if Joe Torre speaks the same language that I speak. Maybe there's an inherent understanding that, when he speaks in absolutes, he doesn't really mean what he says.
It's not English, it's Englishish.
Example 1: Game three, Yankees down 2 games to 0, bottom of the eighth inning, score tied, Bruney or Farnsworth walk three in a row and load the bases with two outs.
Joe Torre claims he will not bring in Mariano Rivera.
Why say something like that at all when you know it's not the truth?
Example 2: "Yankees manager Joe Torre said he can pull his lineup out of a hat. He can read it frontwards, backwards or sideways. He has 'six or seven' hitters who could bat cleanup. 'But you have to put them in order,' he said."
Do you remember when Billy Martin pulled the lineup out of a hat one time? Chambliss ended up batted eighth. Hilarious.
Billy Martin was also a crazed alcoholic.
That also wasn't a playoff game.
You know what? I'm actually convinced.
Joe Torre's team is so good that he can pull the lineup out of a hat. A monkey can make the linep by throwing darts at a board. Then, the monkey can hold up the lineup card and move it around. Frontwards, backwards, and sideways. Here's a banana, you funny monkey!
As a bonus, a banana costs a lot less than $5 mill.
Cashman can use the savings to shore up the middle relief.
