moron Joe ...

...Manny wanted to be the selfish hero when a walk would have been okay, instead hacked at about anything he offered.


1.  Since when is Torre a moron?  He's pretty well regarded.

2.  That was just Manny being Manny, right?  I thought Dodger fans all love him and forgive any misdiscretions?...  Actually its more like Manny being 37.  He can't hit some of the pitches he used to, but he still swings the same way.

1.  5th inning of Gm 1 he managed Kershaw moronically.  Joe has become Reg Season Joe, No World Series Joe.  Had all those years of top spending NYY and now the McCorts in L.A.   Last World Series was 2000 or so.

2.  Reasonable to expect a 20 million a year player to study the game with batting coaches and make an ad-just-ment to his age and skill set?
Didn't see Kurt Shill trying to do the same thing in Boston as he did with 'Zona 4=5 years earlier when they beat the Skankies for the Championship.  And many other real pros.
