Same Old Song

The Yankees squeaked past the Dodgers tonight 2-1 at Dodger Stadium. It was the first game for Los Angeles manager Joe Torre against his former team, the team that he led to 4 World Series titles and insured him a place in Cooperstown one day soon.
Funny, Joe Torre is a borderline Hall of Famer but a definite shoo-in for The Hall as a manager.
Of those 4 World Series victories, two key components for Torre were Derek Jeter and Mariano Rivera. Jorge Posada didn't play in that first series title in 1996 for Torre but he was on the verge of coming aboard.
Tonight, Jeter (2 hits), Posada (RBI) and Rivera (struck out the side in the 9th for the save) all contributed. He's seen this before. Torre had to be upset the Dodgers lost but had to have some feelings for his former players. I would if I were in Torre's shoes.
Yanks by the way own a 3-game lead on the Rays and Red Sox, both losers tonight. They're pulling away and with two games against the slumping Dodgers things aren't looking so good for Tampa Bay and the Bostons.
