Hank Steinbrenner won’t like it, but Don Mattingly thinks the Yankees missed Joe Torre this year. Mattingly told reporters, "You listen to them talk, and I don't think they realized what Joe did for them for so long [12 playoff appearances], how special he is at what he does." Mattingly also added, "I think they sort of took him for granted, didn't realize all the things he brings to the table as a manager. You've seen it here with the Dodgers this year.” Of course, adding Manny Ramirez at the trading deadline probably helped the Dodgers make the playoffs too. For his part, Torre handled the issue of the Yankees missing the playoffs with his typical class, "I don't take satisfaction in the Yankees being eliminated.” It’s impossible to say if the season would have turned out differently with Torre in charge, but Yankees’ fans will have plenty of time to see him in the playoffs.

Yankees’ fans will have plenty of time to see him in the playoffs.
If by "plenty of time" you mean "at least two games but no more than three."
Put the Dodgers, who are seven games over .500 in MLB's weakest division, in any other division and they wouldn't be in the playoffs.
I'm a Torre fan, but the 2008 Dodgers are hardly a Torre success story.

Combine a fading Yankees team with a good young Rays team, and a good Red Sox team, and you get a 3rd place finish for the Hank's Cranks. Torre had nothing to do with it.
I think Mattingly was an overrated player. Opinions are great!
If it wasn't for the Rays turning a 180 this season the Yankees would be in the playoffs or at least fighting for a wild card spot the last weekend of the season.
If the Dodgers didn't get Ramirez they probably wouldn't make the playoffs then again thanks to the Dbacks losing in September it helped the Dodgers gain some ground on them.
