So normally I'd be checking in to talk about last night's games... RJ being a rockstar... but there's not much I can say besides he's the Unit (96 mph fastball on his 119th and final pitch). Or about Boston's Bullpen, which appears laden with heifers. No... I want to discuss something more important, at work this morning. That's right. Here it is.
Sweet Lou is taking his show on the road. Yep. Reports outta Florida have Pinella leaving the DRays during the offseason.
Thank God.
He's out of the division, and won't be around to screw with the Sox-Yanks rivalry, which in recent years has come down to "whoever doesn't totally fall asleep on the Double A Rays."
That is, unless he's getting fitted for pinstripes right now.
There have been grumblings about replacing Torre with Pinella all year... which would be a mistake of such colossal proportions I can't even begin to think about it rationally. Maybe if he managed to bring Cantu and Gomes with him, and offered to give the manager job back to Torre in spring training, and take on a somewhat lesser role as "Hungry Hungry Homer", chained to the Babe Ruth plaque in centerfield and forced to survive on a daily dose of peanut shells and 9-volt batteries, supplied generously by the Bleacher Bums.
In short, Fuck Lou Pinella.
Oh, and in reference to the standings, I'll simply quote Torre last night, "First place only counts on that last Sunday."
THAT'S why Torre is manager, and why he should remain so.
