10/18: Torre Tidbits
Buster Olney has
how the face to face Torre and Steinbrenner meeting went down. He also has a
nice piece on what Torre meant to the Yankees. Like
Ben said, we should be worried. I think that some Yankee fans that wanted Torre gone or were ambivalent about the whole thing may soon have second thoughts.
And
Randy Levine's comments are... troubling. Like I said when I was on Marist Radio this evening, that's not a bad idea, generally speaking. But, we aren't generally speaking here. We're talking about Joe Torre. This is a unique situation. 12 seasons. 12 postseason births. 10 division titles. 5 pennants. 4 titles. You need to motivate Joe Torre? Wow.
Torre will hold a press conference tomorrow at 2 PM ET. Should be interesting.
Edit: Also, check out
Tom Verducci's take. Via
Peter Abraham.
