December 19, 200322 yr Joe Torre is the reason Chris Hammond was traded, he's a horrible manager, and just now he implied he's not having fun again and that the Red Sox are a better team, which is not true. Man would I love to give this bastard a piece of my mind. And get this, my brother was driving me through mainstreet in harrison, and taking a left into a dunkin donuts in an late 80s to early 90s maroon honda accord was none other than joe torre! There was a bit of traffic and I saw this man for at least 3 seconds up close. It was the semi-bald, droopy faced, semi-angry/sad looking joe torre. I swear to God, this man was either joe torre or a clone. You don't believe me? Well, Harrison NY is where Torre lives and if he wanted Dunkin Donuts there is only one in town. The old accord wasn't in bad condition, but it was not typical of a millionaire like Joe Torre. I should of told my brother to turn around and bother this man until he stopped so I can give him a peice of my mind. We were a good 15 seconds away until I thought of turning around, oh well. This is just so weird- Joe Torre in a old Honda getting dunkin donuts. Friggin' bastard, screws our team, sets us up to fail to the media, and drives a crappier car than my 93 sentra. Bastard.

I bet you five 1994 Ford Tauruses you'd just blush and ask him for his autograph.
December 20, 200322 yr Yeah, like you would've confronted him. I bet you five 1994 Ford Tauruses you'd just blush and ask him for his autograph. Meeting players/coaches is no big deal. *shrugs* Just gotta treat them like they are just another guy... in reality that's what they are anyway.
December 20, 200322 yr Yeah its gotta suck to have a manager lead you to 4 titles in his tenure. But hey...He's a Yankee fan... :lol
December 20, 200322 yr row gain. You use that if your boat won't move properly. I think you mean "Rogaine" the hair product.
December 20, 200322 yr Author Yeah its gotta suck to have a manager lead you to 4 titles in his tenure. But hey...He's a Yankee fan... :lol Do you watch or listen to 162 yankee games a year? Joe Torre is lucky that he has a team that costs over 160 million dollars- he's a horrible manager. Unless you watch as many games as I, do not pass judgement. I could of won 4 world series with the yankee teams (well maybe not I, but any other manager.) My Torre greivances are in this article in the middle. I have many good reasons. The situatuon really pissed me off because I was complaining about Joe Torre, and there he was, Joe Torre.
December 21, 200322 yr 2 words. row gain. When Joe Torre was a Angels announcer he got a hair transplant job done. Apparently the hair did'nt hold.

December 21, 200322 yr Author Yawn, another person who really shouldn't be passing judgement... Torre isn't the same anymore. He causes controversy instead of staying clear from it like he used to, he bashes his team and ownership and talks about contracts, and he used to not do that either. After a world series, he doesn't congradulate his team, but says he's not sure he's coming back to spring training. He purposely loses games. He's pretty much become an a**hole who had the oppurtunity to look good managing great yankee teams. What tough personalities did he deal with? Paul O'Neill wasn't a tough man, Clemens (though a prick) really didn't do anything, Daryll strawberry? Ha! Maybe Raul Mondesi and or Bubba Trammel, but the yanks made quick work of them when they "bothered" joe torre and he didn't have to deal with him. Unless you come up with specific examples that prove torre's expertise as a manager, i will go with the observations that I have been making year after year. His skills are deteriorating and its painfully obvious he doesn't want to manage anymore. If a world series isn't enough to motivate you to go another year, you're a bum.
