It's not even that. He burns his pen even when he wins. I would love to have Francona manage the Yankees. I never was a Torre fan, and this series just drove me nuts. He's clueless.

Look at Tito. He has a lead, he lets Matsuzaka go deep. I am willing to bet anyone here that sometime this week, the Yankees will have a 5-2 or 6-2 lead in the sixth inning and here comes the bullpen. THOSE are the games that cost the Yankees in Boston. His pen is so overworked that when he uses them in big spots, they shit the bed because their arms are going to fall off.

Let me give you an example. Yankees have the lead on Friday, he takes out Pettitte. Bullpen blows the game.

Sunday. Yankees have the lead again. Brings in Pettitte. Umm...why didn't you LEAVE PETTITE IN ON FRIDAY? Why? Because he is an idiot, that's why. I agree with the move in bringing him in, he gets through the inning. Now what? Next inning, he has Manny and Drew up. So what does he do? HE BRINGS IN PROCTOR! Manny is 5 for 8 against Manny with three homeruns.

So instead of having the lefty for Drew, he gives the Sox the advantage twice.

He is absolutely horrible. The Yankees will NEVER win another World Series with this guy managing the team.
