I agree with the late great George Carlin.  Mom, baseball and apple pie are not the great American traditions, it's war, football and sex!


Take the sex out of the equation, and I'll agree with you.



OK, I've seen the movie and now I know that sex and apple pie are only one thing.  I think America is apple pie and football now.

A-Rod is a pussy with a man crush on Jeter
David Wells is a pain in the ass
Brian Cashman did not back Torre in his final contract negotiations
The Yankees pissed on Torre

I'm not saying the man isn't happy or hasn't lived a charmed life.  Far from it.

Status: offline 		Joe said his name was on the book and will stand by whats inside.  However the quotes were not from Joe.  If you listen to the interview you will know the truth.  Remember the book was written by TWO people not just one.  It was Toms and Joes view of what occured during the 90's.  To bad so many in the press cant understand this concept.

Okay, so A-Rod will not be shoving the heel of a shoe into Jeter's head.

I'm a Yankee fan.


Torre's just being good soldier following the traditional Yankee pattern of drama and Amoeba like FA signings of the top talent in the off season.

I found it funny that some radio commentators couldn't stop talking about Torre, and they pretty much shared your view --- but I think their show probably sold a lot of books.

Just felt I had to say that.




Heh.....musta been taken' a nap to have missed this thread. I'd say you need to pick yourself up a copy of '' Billy Ball '' - And then you won't feel so justified about Torre.

Martin was every bit the prick, more sensationalistic and a far bigger hypocrite. But I gota admit that some his tantrums were funnier than shit....
