This is a teriffic "breakdown" of the history of joe Torre ruining and abusing bullpens. And this was written before Scott Proctor.

Defending Torre where the bullpen is concerned is sheer folly

chuck , between '96 and '01 in key situations tell me where torre blew it

i just don't get it , the bullpen was the reason why they won from 96 - 01

the starting pitching while very good were matched by other teams , it was all about the bullpen and not just rivera that the yanks won those 4 titles

as the starting pitching got worse later on in the torre years , yeah the bullpen got worse
