apparently u only went with the fact that the red sox won the series over the yankees to come to the conclusion torre was outmanaged. u couldnt name one thing torre did wrong after being asked many times, and u kept BSing your way saying how we werent watching games, but never said a fact until crespoblows made that good post, and now im scratching my head (NOT BECAUSE OF U, BUT BECAUSE OF CRESPOBLOWS GOOD ANALYSIS). even so however, all teh things wrong that torre did in the series all fell into the games that we won. torre was not outmanaged the whole series, we were in an 0-3 hole at one point you know, i dont call that francona outmanaging torre.
also, even in games 4 and 5, the managing seemed equal, those games both went deep into extra innings. so because of this, i have to think that torre managed overall a little worse, but in no way was he drastically outmanaged. remember, we won ONE more game than the yankees in this series.
however, was torre outmanaged during the regular season? i sure dont think so, the yankees won the al east, and francona sucked in the regular season, and is now stepping up to be a great manager.
im not saying francona is a bad manager, im saying that torre didnt do as bad as your making him out to be.
