Good for Joe. But I don't see this team improving much over next year if they continue to do the same things they did this year - never playing smallball, never adjusting the lineup, mismanaging the bullpen, playing favorites with the bullpen, and having a team that played like the took quaaludes before the game.

All of which I do find Torre guilty of over the past 3 years...regardless of how I feel about him as a person, or of his previous track record, or his place in Yankee lore, etc. etc. etc.
