We went several days without any posts to several within a couple of hours because of Torre’s book.  What?  No Super Bowl?  Anyway…. I look at this like a family, airing the dirty laundry for public consumption  – can’t be good.  We are sure to give A-Rod his hits for not coming through in the [...]

The SF Gate article only further cements my opinion.  All the talk from Verducci to say this is 3rd person etc. is BS.  Buster Olney had a great post today that Torre cant hide behin the author and pointed out that Torre himself blasted Wells for his book which aired dirty launry.  Buster points out:
Verducci said [...]

Joe gave much to the Yankees over his twelve year reign:  4 WS championships; 12 consecutive playoff appearances; and a significant increase in stadium attendance.  For this he was well compensated.  He was the highest paid manager in baseball.  He also made mega bucks in endorsements that only come from the New York City market.  [...]

Joe, I think I understand your point. You’re basically saying that it’s not like he penned a book about how great it was to manage the Yankees. He co-authored what is believed to be a somewhat negative book – which is his perogative – but that choice comes with consequences – and now he should no [...]

It doesn’t matter that a San Fran writer pens a “sane” article or the NY Post rants and raves.  As I said before, it doesn’t matter what is in the book.  What matters is that Torre wrote it in the first place.  There is only one reason to write this book no matter what Verducci [...]

This is a sane, non-sensational, view of the book from Bruce Jenkins at the SFGate. Proof that we need to READ IT before judging it…
Since when do we rely on the NY Post, NY Daily News, or the New York Times for reliable, fact-based, ethical, responsible reporting????

Yeah….  I wouldn’t buy it.  You’re right – we lived it.  I don’t know maybe I’m going soft in my old age, but when I look back I think Torre’s departure was fine.  Consider this:
Mike is right.  Torre was on borrowed time.  If many of you recall, after the Detroit playoff loss, I wrote a [...]

DO NOT BUY THE YANKEE YEARS.  If you must read it, check it out from your local library.  Do not put money in the pockets of Verducci and Torre for something that we all knew already.
