Joe Torre was on with Mike Francesa this afternoon, and the master media manipulator did a nice job of defusing the hoopla over his tell-all tome. You can find the interview here, and I just wanted to run through the major points that he made.
1) Joe said that he was surprised by the [...]
A piece authored by Anthony McCarron of the NY Daily News has reaction from Jorge Posada on what has become the talk of New York – The Yankee Years tome penned by Tom Verducci.
During the article, Posada says Joe Torre was like a father figure to him and that he didn’t think the [...]

Flops such as Josh Phelps and Morgan Ensberg stand beside dubious choices like Andy Phillips and Miguel Cairo to create a poor resume in the [...]
The Dodgers have reportedly offered Manny Ramirez a 1-year, $25 million deal with a 48-hour window in which to accept or reject the offer. This would allow Manny to head into free agency, yet again, after the ’09 season. Of course, the Yankees will be looking for a DH at that time, too. Hmmm…
