Is Don Zimmer a Sox fan?

”I watch them almost every night,” said the Cubs` manager, who coached with Jeff Torborg with the New York Yankees. ”I`m rooting like hell for those guys. It would be great for him (Torborg) to win.

”The publicity goes to Cincinnati-`the Nasty Boys` (relievers Rob Dibble and Randy Myers). What about those kids of his? He goes to all of them. They get the job done.”

Any parallel between Torborg`s 1990 Sox and Zimmer`s 1989 Cubs?

”Very much so,” Zimmer said. ”They`ve got a lot of young players who are playing well. Jeff is doing practically the same as I did: pick out a guy to do a job.”
