Torre managed with a sense of urgency all year because he had to.

Francona had the option of resting guys down the stretch to keep them fresh for the playoffs, but he had to ride the horses in '05, too.

The season is a marathon, not a sprint, but Torre had to push the envelope to get the Yanks in the playoffs, which he did.
