Welcome, Joe Torre.
Grady, don't let the door hit you on the way out.
Torre will be a much needed respected presence in that crazy clubhouse right now. And I wonder what offseason moves we will see now that a player's coach like Torre is running the show? The dodgers need a power bat.....and I think there is one available right now on the market...

You are right...until they sign a power bat and one more pitcher (unless Schmidt isnt injured), they are not a contender. I seem to recall the Yankee faithful panning the Torre signing back in the day. "Clueless Joe" was the infamous headline that he saved and hung on his office wall. Junkie, being in Utah, which baseball team do you co-opt? Or do you not care about baseball?

The only thing less bleak than the current Dodger outlook is the current Giants outlook. If you are ever in SoCal, we should take in a Giants/Dodgers game together at the Ravine. We can sit in the left field pavilion and you can wear your Giants gear. It will be fun!

Where do you guys rank the Giants-Dodgers rivalry? Second only to the Yankees-Red Sox?
I know Cubs and White Sox fans hate each other pretty bad, but it doesn't really count as a rivalry because they rarely play each other. When they do it doesn't feel right. I can't really think of any other fierce rivalry's in the MLB. |

I think the Dodgers/Giants rivalry is just behind the Sox/Yankees. Those are the two big ones.
I'm surprised that the Phillies/Pirates isn't a great rivalry.

The Problem is they have Ray Durham hitting in the 3 hole, and Pedro Feliz in the 5 spot.

Torre is the most overrated manager in the MLB. He has had, by far, the most talented roster in the league every year this decade, yet every year he loses in the first round of the playoffs.
The Dodgers have talent, but they are not the Yankees. I do not expect to see any improvement in Los Angeles just because he is the one sitting in the clubhouse spitting sesame seeds. |

Although LA does have a large Asian population, so it could be sesame. As Krusty once said, "Me so Solly!"
