The question was two years ago, why fuck up something that really wasn't anymore fucked up then than it is now--meaning why fire Joe Torre and Willie Randolph? They came up with worst seasons with Girardi and Manuel--the Yankees for the first time in many a moon not even close to be in the playoffs--and the Mets, same team, new manager, again ended up the Year-End goats...<BR/><BR/>Unfortunately, we accidentally erased marvelousmarv's splendid effort--them's the breaks.<BR/><BR/>The Daily GrowlerThe Daily Growlerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15052460567863294528noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26130622.post-15967619107704405472009-04-06T15:03:00.000-07:002009-04-06T15:03:00.000-07:00Man, Sabathia's looking terrible.

The fact is, though, that hardly anybody noticed them in the early years of the major leagues either -- they didn't get mentioned in newspaper stories, and we have to figure them out from the box scores.
