Or was he super-angry because he just had four handfuls of Icy-Hot rubbed on his scrotum? You don't know for sure, Joe. [NYT]

Joe Torre Can't Figure Out What All The Fuss Is About
"That's what I'd like to think that my reputation is — being honest. I don't really think, it certainly wasn't my intention to shock anybody with stuff in this book." [CNN]

Joe Torre: Not Likely To Overdose At The Viper Room, But Will Be Near It
As expected, the Los Angeles Dodgers not of Anaheim will officially introduce Joe Torre as their new manager during a Monday morning press conference. The storied organization rids itself of the managerial albatross that was Grady Little, and lands a future Hall of Fame manager with four World Series rings, a dead brother Rocco, and no prostate. Dodger fans, commence looting or shopping, whichever is more suitable to your income bracket. More »

Torre's Torture Of Grady Continues
It's starting to inch ever so closer to official that Joe Torre will be the new manager of the Los Angeles Dodgers, particularly after Grady Little resigned from the job yesterday, claiming those famous "personal reasons." Thus continues Torre's perpetual torment of poor Grady. More »

Torre Says Thanks, But No Thanks, To The Yankees
There's something perfect, really, about how this whole Joe Torre business went down. Now that he has rejected a one-year deal with the Yankees, he gets to walk away from the madness with his dignity intact and his head high. And the Yankees get to move on themselves. All this talk about firing Torre, bringing him back, who's in charge, what's going on ... and then he sticks it to them by simply turning down the job. Bloody brilliant. More »

Joe Torre, Hanging Around, Wondering What's Up
Wouldn't it be strange if, after all the fuss of the last few days, if the Yankees decided to keep Joe Torre after all? It certainly would signify, publicly, at last, that George Steinbrenner is finally being considered the doddering old man he is, and that his rantings are being treated with the seriousness they deserve. That said, it would make Torre's press conference from the other night seem rather silly; we'd wonder how often we have to say goodbye to that guy. More » -

The Indians Make Joe Torre Sad
Clearly, Joe Torre did a terrible job managing tonight, and deserves to be fired. (Totally!) But that's tomorrow's news: Tonight, a congratulations to the Indians, an awfully exciting team that's gonna be a joy to watch against the Red Sox, starting this weekend. We can't wait.

Is This The Last Night For The Yankees We've Come To Know?
Fascinating proposition from Peter Abraham at the LoHud Yankees blog today: Have Bernie Williams throw out the first pitch at Yankee Stadium tonight. There's something perfect and symmetrical about it; in what could be Joe Torre's last game in The Bronx, having his equally popular pet toss out the first ball seems perfect. Which means of course it won't happen. More » -

Steinbrenner's Agonizing "Decision"
We have trouble with the concept of "soul-searching" when it comes to George Steinbrenner — he seems to have a key ingredient missing — but evidently the Yankee owner did some heavy thinking over the past two days. According to the New York Post, Steinbrenner has apparently decided not to fire manager Joe Torre. More »

Obviously, Joe Torre Was The Problem All Along
And so there is much wailing and gnashing of teeth in Yankee Land, as you probably expected. Word on the street is that manager Joe Torre is as good as out, and that Lou Piniella — yow — is in. Seems rather rash to us, but what do we know? Only what we read in the papers ... and in various Yankees blogs. Please enjoy. More »

Larry Bowa, Voice Of Calm And Decency
The rumors are coming fast and with much fury, and the notion of it makes us so happy we almost want to dance: The Yankees have offered combustible engine Larry Bowa a job as their third-base coach. It is not known whether Bowa could be considered a potential replacement for Joe Torre were he to finally decide he's had enough lunacy in the Bronx, but there's a chance, and that's just amazing.

Joe Torre, Masochist
One of our favorite games as a kid — and still, actually — was "Rock And A Hard Place." You remember the game: It involved making someone choose between two equally undesirable options.

The Minimum Wage Of The Newark Bears
We've had a grand time this morning flipping through the newest issue of New York magazine and its Salary Issue.

We have our doubts about a few of the numbers on the list, but on the whole, it's fun to mix and match. A sample: More » -
