ARod is paid an astronomical amount of money and doesn't deliver, and they fire the Manager. Go figure/

No clutch hitting, no consistent pitching.

Folks like Sheffield, Giambi, A-Rod, etc can't get clutch hits in the playoffs. It's not a one-time thing - it's been a problem year after year. When you have A-Rod batting 8th inthe PLAYOFFS, you know you're in trouble...

And pitching? Johnson is done. Through. His back problems are getting worse. His slider was missing badly later in the season. He ran out of gas, and he's doing earlier and earlier in the season as he gets older.

Is your post suggesting that Torres is responsible for all of this? Is Torres the one who is making the player personnel decisions? I don't know the answer to this, that's why I'm asking.
