I was looking at the standings (I need to know how the Rays did, they won), and I see that the Formerly Brooklyn Dodgers are a half game out. I thought that might make Fred Wilpon happy.
I was wondering who manages that team – turns out the guys name is Joe Torre. Joe was an available manager during the past offseason when Omar decided to keep Willie Randolph. Joe Torre apparently piloted a baseball team to 12 consecutive post-seasons, and is even from Fred Wilpon’s magical place – Brooklyn.
I wonder why the Mets didn’t give this man a call? I guess they think Willie will pilot the 2008 Mets to the pennant.
Oh well…we can dream…..I can almost picture Joe Torre in a Met uniform now…
