Sports betting should have manager Joe Torre with the Los Angeles Dodgers for the next two seasons. Torre is under contract through this online sportsbetting baseball season with Los Angeles but talks are underway to extend the deal through 2011. The Dodgers have been successful in online sportsbetting with Torre at the helm and they are a definite contender this season.
Sportsbetting last year had the Dodgers going 95-67 last season. If they could just find a way to beat the Phillies in the playoffs they would be all set. The Dodgers will have two more chances with Torre at the helm as online sportsbetting indicated. He has said that after 2011 he will retire.
Los Angeles made the National League Championship Series in Torre’s first two seasons before losing to the Phillies. Sportsbetting had Torre on the final year of a three-year $13 million dollar deal with Los Angeles. “The young guys are getting better and they seem to enjoy the challenges,” Torre said. “The thing that resonates with me is when we lost Game 5 [of the NLCS] in 2008 and 2009, it was very different. In ’08 it was, ‘Look how far we came.’ In ’09 it was, ‘Look at what we missed out on.’ That’s the sense. It wasn’t in conversation; it was the emotion of the players in that final meeting.”
Torre originally just wanted to go two years with the Dodgers and then retire but he loves the Los Angeles area and the lifestyle. Even though he won four World Series titles with the Yankees as sportsbetting had it he seems happier in Los Angeles with the Dodgers. “As it turns out, I’m still enjoying it,” he said.
Torre will be starting his 29th season as a major-league manager. He has done a great job in his career as sportsbetting had him with a record of 2,246-1,915. He has managed a team to the playoffs in 14 straight sports betting baseball seasons. That is tied for the Major League record as online sports betting stats note. “When I first came over here I was just curious myself how I would like it,” Torre said. “I never anticipated after being in New York my first eight or nine years that I would go somewhere else and start over again. It’s been a great decision on my part to continue doing this because it’s been fun.” Sportsbetting indicated that hitting coach Don Mattingly is expected to get the manager’s job when Torre does decide to retire.
