From SI.com : Although Torre is now on the other side of the country, he still follows the Yankees and watches many of their games. "It's not pain. I look at it and I care about people and I stay in touch with people over there," Torre said. "When you're in California, you get to the ballpark ...

Joe Torre can't even get his story straight in his own book
subwaysquawkers.blogspot.com 5/22/2009 — Squawker Jon, I will announce later on this morning who I'm rooting for in your Mets-Red Sox series this weekend. Have to keep our readers coming back for more! But in the meantime, I have to chastise your team for letting themselves get swept by the Dodgers this week. Even the usually-snoozing ...
The Yankees are Alone in First Place
passion4baseball.blogspot.com 5/30/2009 — The Yankees sure looked awful early in the season and there was a point where they were last in the league in all pitching categories. The wolves started circling and the naysayers started drooling. But since then, the Yankees have powered their way to the division lead and hold that spot for ...
Torre: Adding Insult to Injury
fackyouk.blogspot.com 5/20/2009 — I have to start off by saying that I love Joe Torre.

Can somebody please tell Joe Torre to just shut up about the Yankees already?
subwaysquawkers.blogspot.com 5/31/2009 — It's funny. Joe Torre accused Alex Rodriguez of wanting to be the center of attention with the Yankees, but if there is anybody who constantly seeks the spotlight, it's St. Joe himself. And it - shocker - usually involves talking about his old team, instead of his new team. And as long as he's ...
Mattingly training to succeed Joe, but which one?
riveraveblues.com 4/23/2009 — Seeing Don Mattingly — and Joe Torre too, for that matter — in a Dodgers uniform is still rather jarring. I grew up watching and idolizing Mattingly in the Yankee pinstripes, and he just looks wrong in another uniform.
