Indians Hold Key to Joe Torre’s Future

It has been almost two weeks since George Steinbrenner issued his proclamation, win or else. The else being the head of manager Joe Torre on a platter. So far, all there has been is talk and speculation, and no platter. Why is this decision taking so long? Blame the Indians.

The Cleveland Indians beat one of the two powerhouses in baseball, the Yankees. They now have their sight set on the other powerhouse, the Boston Red Sox. How does this affect Joe Torre? Simple. If the Indians lose to the Red Sox, then the Yankees’ exit is the embarrassment everyone thinks it is, and blame needs to be placed, and that place is squarely on Joe Torre’s head (in comes the platter). If the Indians tear through the Red Sox like they did the Yankees, then their defeat of the Yankees was no mere fluke. The Indians were they better team, period.

No decision is going to come until the ALCS is over and the American League representative in the World Series is chosen. If it is the Cleveland Indians, expect a headless Torre to depart George Steinbrenner’s office soon after. If it is the Red Sox, Joe Torre will keep his head, for at least one more season anyway. Unless he chooses to leave.

OK, so its been awhile

Yes, I know I said I wanted to have a daily updated blog. That obviously didn’t happen. I went on a bit of a tangent with my fantasy sports leagues. Yes, I’m one of those geeks.

I started another blog that keeps track of NHL goalies and which goalie would start in which game. It is very time consuming. I did a Google search on other sites that did this and found only a few, but really, how many do you need? So I’m thinking of stopping mine and freeing up some time for myself again.

Baseball Fans?

Okay, I’m watching the LA-Boston game right? It’s the eighth inning all tied. When the camera shows a right-handed hitter’s face you see about four kids sitting in the front row. They are watching TV and waiting for the camera to show them so they can make funny gestures.

They are at a playoff game sitting in the front row off the right side of home plate. Great seats! And these little snot-nosed brats are watching TV so they can act stupid, ignoring the game. What a waste of seats.
