Listen here.  I don’t care if the book is written in the 3rd person.  The book is “co-authored” by Joe Torre, meaning all of the book is attributable to him, unless he makes specific representations that certain chapters are written by him.  I agree that this permanently divorces him from the Yankees until the Steinbrenner [...]

Welcome Back, the deal is whack, Andy’s on crack……
Nice job.  Now all we need is a little bit of Bernie in CF.

The Yankees and Pettitte have agreed to a 1-year, $5.5 million, incentive-laden deal.  Incentives can bring the total up to about $12 million.  I guess that’s how he saves face, but the guaranteed $10.5 million sounds like a better deal to me.  Anyway, welcome back.

All the salacious “leaked” excepts from this book were intentional. They were leaked to create this media stir, to incite the outrage being discussed on sports-talk radio. This was all part of the plan to sell books. What recent sports book hasn’t followed this model?
The timing of the book: to be released just prior to [...]

This ESPN article makes it seem that all these reports are overblown.  Also, the book is not writen from Torre’s perspective.  It’s a third-person account.  I guess I’ll have to read the book before judgement… but that’s what they want me to do, isn’t it?! It’s all about selling books.

I’m with everyone else… why on Earth is he writing a book now?  We tend to expect these “tell all” books after the fact, but he’s still managing.  It makes no sense.  This is very un-Torre-like.  We all view Torre a little differently now and that’s not a good thing.  I wonder what this does [...]

Newsday sports writers have no imagination.  Article in todays paper came right from John B’s post about the free agents still un-signed.  More evidence that what is written here is ten times better than what you read in Newsday.  And by the way, Wallace Mathews is a mean-spirited jerk.  He didn’t write today’s free agent [...]

So Joe Torre wrote a book about his Yankee years.  Little tid bits are leaking out…Arod called A-Fraud by teammates, throwing Cashman under the bus.  It almost doesn’t matter what is in the book.  What, in God’s name, possessed him to write this book ?  It couldn’t be the money.  He makes 5 times more [...]

Disappointed.  Yes, I am that Joe would write a book at this time when he is still managing.  I understand that what Joe said has been interpreted by the various writers of the articles.  But what goes on in the clubhouse should stay there.  Remember Jim Bouton’s book “Ball Four,” which landed Jim on the [...]

Who was the director of the motion picture “The Pride of the Yankees?”
