If you can't get people to perform to their ability, then it doesn't matter how good they are. Making plays in tough situations matters a lot. Dodgers don't do it, and the Angels do. We have talented people who settle. They looked great the last 2 games against the D-BACKS. I remember PGRDN saying Manny wanted to get them to the playoffs. I said they are teasers. Anyone remember that? That was said because these people have big attitude problems. They are pretty much happy to be about a .500 group. If they get their butts beat, then they will respond with some runs, but they are a very lazy/settling bunch. After they beat the Diamindbacks in convincing manner, they lacked the fire to beat people. They simply struggle with desire(not with talent.) They've given up 25 less runs than the Angels. They are losers, and losers will find a way to lose (no matter the talent they have.) ALL I can say is if they were in the Angels system of management, then they would be atleast 10 games over .500(probably much more than that.) Torre can't get out of these lazy guys what Scioscia can. Scioscia is their friend in between games, and Torre is their friend during games(that's fundamentally wrong, because you can't make in-game decisions based on how players will feel about your decisions.) Torre has lost about 5 games this year by batting Andruw Jones in clutch situations. He wanted to show he has faith in him. That's a ****** trait Joe has.
