LA Dodgers Opener: Joe Torre Shows He’s Got it
So the home opener for the Dodgers today showed that even with a new team and some pretty inexperienced players Joe Torre has what it takes to win baseball games. What I would live to see more than anything else is for Joe to destroy the Yankees in a sweep of the 2008 World Series.
While I'm not sure if this is very likely since the Yankees have the money to buy the talent they need I think Georgie in the Bronx basically gave away one of the best managers that the game has seen in quite some time. I would argue that even though my Red Sox have won the World Series two times in the past four years, there is not one year where the Yankees did not put up a strong fight for the AL East title. I think the fact that Joe also won so many of the national titles with the Yankees is a testament to his ability to manage a team and why you would get rid of a successful manager is beyond me.
I think this is yet another situation where Georgie threw a temper tantrum and decided that if his managers couldn't always win the World Series then they weren't going to be part of his team. I hope this proves to be a huge mistake for the Yankees, I still don't know one Yankees fan that can believe they fired Torre and they deserve what is coming their way for doing so.
Woman Avoids Squirrel, Rodent Still Gets it in the End
Three injured in squirrel-related crash
SOUTH MOUNTAIN -- Three people were injured in a two vehicle crash about 1:45 p.m. Saturday after a woman swerved to avoid a squirrel in the road on U.S. 40A near Moser Road, according to Maryland State Police in Hagerstown.
Amy Deosaran, 32, of Middletown, was driving a 2002 Acura MDX east on U.S. 40A when she saw the squirrel, police said. The Acura struck a westbound 1995 Toyota Tacoma driven by Philip N. Kisner, 50, of Martinsburg, W.Va., head on.
Toyota passenger Karen Lynn Kisner, 50, Deosaran, and her 9-year-old son were taken to Washington County Hospital in Hagerstown with nonlife-threatening injuries, police said. Philip Kisner refused treatment. Everyone was wearing seat belts and the child was in a child safety restraint.
Deosaran was charged with failure to drive right of center, police said.
After the crash, the squirrel again attempted to cross U.S. 40A but did not make it, police said. The squirrel was struck and killed by an unknown vehicle.

OK folks... This is a life lesson to all of the PETA people out there to remember that a squirrel is not worth possibly killing three people. Seriously, she swerved into oncoming traffic to avoid a squirrel and sent three people to the hospital, putting her own son in harms way. The ironic part is that the damn squirrel was then hit by another car with a driver smart enough not to swerve into traffic to avoid the rodent.
Please people, if for no reason then getting yourselves mentioned in the Darwin awards, don't swerve into oncoming traffic to avoid a rodent that there are millions of around. It just is not worth killing someone over.
