Do You Think George Is Mad?

Dear George,

Are you mad? I'm really just wondering. Of course, who knows what went on between you and Joe Torre, but what I do know is that he's not with the New York Yankees this year. He is with the Los Angeles Dodgers, and they are in the playoffs...well, they just won the NLDS. In sweeping fashion, no less! The Yankees didn't even make the playoffs. Yes, I know. Here is where you insert the typical response to any issues where the value of a coach is measured... coaches (or in this sport, managers) don't play the game. Players do. I totally agree with that. And no, I'm not a Yankee hater. Derek Jeter is absolutely too cool. But you gotta admit, Joe Torre must have some kind of magic and he took it with him when he left New York for sunny SoCal. All the better for the National League is what I say. If Joe Torre can manage to end the streak of American League World Series Champions it'll be even more perfect. GO DODGERS!!!!

Sorry...but I just couldn't help myself....
