I'd love to see Joe Torre get revenge on the Yankees in WS.

Austin · Oct 14, 2009

It would be sweet revenge for Joe Torre to lead the Dodgers to the World Series title over the Yankees.
I'm a Yankees fan, but I also like the Dodgers, and especially Andre Ethier, so I'd like to see Torre win it all in LA.

Yeah sure likely story. You were searching for this the whole time. :lol:

Id love to see a gang of Bronx rats nibble Kershaw's, Wolfe's, Padilla's, etc feet constantly while Torre sits on his hands and does nothing.

I don't know how it would be revenge.

Torre was offered a one year contract by the Yankees, which he refused. A new start was just what he needed, with new players. I don't think there's any enmity between Torre and the Yankees. I bet he gets a great ovation in NY in the World Series, should we get another Dodgers-Yankees series.

Agreed 100%. It was time for both sides to move on. Torre is great at handling a clubhouse and dealing with players on a personal level, but when it comes to in-game management, it's actually hard to find someone worse, particularly when it comes to bullpen decisions.

You must not be from the New York area. Torre has let it known that he was a bit insulted by the Yankees offer. He felt that he didn't have to play that game and be pressured that if he didn't take the team to the World Series that he would be fired. He didn't want that hanging over his head. He felt he deserved more respect than that after everything he did for the organization.

I think Torre felt a false sense of entitlement at that point in time. The Yankees knew it was time to move on from the Joe Torre era. So did he. He just made it about himself. The Yankees offered him 5 million that year, with a 3 million incentive if he made the WS. Guess what? The highest paid manager the year before was Lou Piniella at 3.5 million overall. Boy, what an insult Joe. I guess the 7.5 mil you got that year was an insult too.

Hey, I agree with you. But that was Torre's tale.

joey12508 · Oct 15, 2009

i think torre will get a great ovation when hes introduced. he never had a chance to say good bye to the fans. that said then its move on and lets play.
i think it would be great match up.

wolfmanalfredo · Oct 15, 2009

He deserves a great ovation, but I doubt he will in Anaheim.

jcmint · Oct 15, 2009

Agreed what more could they have done for him. I was not sad to see him leave I thought Joes ego grew to epic proportions.

I'd rather see the Yankees get swept by the Angels, personally

TNP777 · Oct 15, 2009

I'd love to see the Dodgers get past Philly before they start worrying about any kind of revenge factor.
