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.

The book is by "Joe Torre and Tom Verducci."  Torre had the opportunity to strike any part of the book that he didn't want to go to press, and apparently it was fine with him for A-Rod to be lampooned in a book with his name on it.  It was fine with him to expose clubhouse secrets.  That's No-no Numero Uno in professional sports.  When David Wells did the exact same thing with a "co-author," Torre was livid.  Now he's being a hypocrite.  And what could he possibly gain from this book?  He's made millions over the last twelve years, so it can't be about money.  All he's done is destroyed his own reputation as someone too classy to get into any he-said-she-said (and it's made him unhirable as a manager too, as far as I'm concerned).

Un-hirable,well good thing the man isn't looking.Last I heard he was manager of the L.A. Dodgers,and quite happy.




SummerWind -> RE: Joe Torre is a complete fucking loser. (1/31/2009 12:08:31 PM)

The book isn't even released yet.  The media, as usual, has taken the most sensational few sentence excerpts from a 500 page book in order to create their own story and manipulate the public's viewpoint.  I'll read the book before passing judgement.  And.....

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

Please..i'll stick by Joe any day of the week.The yankees my favorite all time sports team are the losers.




Lordandmaster -> RE: Joe Torre is a complete fucking loser. (2/2/2009 8:32:47 PM)

Yeah, that was before he decided to lay his turds.  I wonder how happy his players in L.A. are to learn that their manager is someone who might put anything you tell him in his book ten years later?

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

Who is Joe Torre?

That line was nothing more then an inside team joke.

I want to read about the SWF obsession that happened between A-Rod and Jeter.




MasterShake69 -> RE: Joe Torre is a complete fucking loser. (2/3/2009 12:37:36 AM)

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.

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....
