Joe Torre, The Way It Was Always Gonna Be
Some might say the Joe Torre business in Tampa involving the Yankees yesterday is a sign of organizational chaos, but, frankly, this seems like the way it probably had to go down all along. (Some even saw it coming.)...
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 Tor...
Jimmy Kimmel Doesn't See What All The Fuss Is About

Kimmel's quote: "And we welcome Joe Theismann watching from his living room with steam coming out of his ears." You know, we wouldn't mind seeing that, actually....
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?

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.

Don't Start Lending Joe Torre Money Just Yet
Thanks to Johnny Damon and Philip Hughes, the Yankees have given us all something to do Monday night. And we have one more Joe Torre-free night on the soup line. We might look for Roger Clemens there, though....
Welcome Back, Byron
Byron Leftwich, here showcasing his vaunted scrambling ability, has signed a two-year deal with the Atlanta Falcons. It seems like a logical destination, though we hope it doesn't affect Joey Harrington's performance having a guy breathing down his neck. You don't want to mess with a beautiful thing...
JoePa Demands A Job Done Right
If we had our way, Joe Paterno would coach Penn State until the end of time. If the Lord ever decides, misguidedly, to take JoePa, we hope his ghost patrols the sidelines until all the players are wearing rocket packs. Because he's our type of guy....
