What The...?!

OK, when you get a guy wrong, you gotta admit it. My apologies to Andy Marte. Marte has found a home at 1st base and is tearing the cover off of the ball! Tonight, he hit a dead center triple and a go ahead 2-run homer in the top of the 9th inning which proved to be the game-winner in Baltimore. Congratulations to Marte on his play since being promoted again to the Bigs! I honestly did not think you had it in you, I had you wrong, especially when I saw you go for a 3-bagger tonight!

What is going on with the Rockies again? It is 2007 all over again...only one month earlier! They could be one of two roadblocks to my '09 dream World Series, Dodgers vs. Yankees...

The revenge of Joe Torre!

The second roadblock could be Charlie Manuel and his Phillies trying to repeat. Charlie is the latest edition of the Indians' "manager who got away!" That's OK, Charlie was a hard worker but more of a "Doer" in Cleveland than a guy who "Got after it." He has matured with the Phillies in his old age. He still sounds like Casey Stengle on Quaaludes.

Come on Joe Torre, don't make us suffer through another October of Charlie!
