Joe Torre, Again

I like Joe as much as the next guy, but I was not impressed by his news conference yesterday, of which I have only seen a segment. He used the Johnny Damon "insult" routine to describe the contract he was offered. Nothing wrong with feeling insulted by a contract that will pay you millions of dollars but don't say it publicly. This is one working stiff who cannot identify. Also, he was just a little too petulant. Not gonna go back to Yankee stadium, etc. Joe, you made tens of millions of dollars over the last twelve years because an organization wanted you. They don't want you anymore, which is their mistake, but, wow, what a run. Don't ruin it by playing the injured party.
