In pro sports it means so little..especially in Hockey and baseball. Let's face it, the reliever on Texas couldn't throw a strike and that is why they lost game 6. You got to be joking if you think Larussa had anything to do with them winning. So the team wasn't good for most of the year then they got hot cause of Larussa..lol....joke that people think this. You had a bafoon like Davey Johnson win with the mets in 86..cause the players won. The yankees won in 2009 with Girardi who was an avg player at best. Does anyone remem,ber when Torre used to nod off in dugout with Yanks??
