2007-11-06 12:50 Blue Plate Special
It was another one of those Uni Watch red-alert moments last night, as about a dozen readers e-mailed me all at once and another half-dozen or so posted all at once in the comments section. The cause Jason Strudwick of the Rangers got in a fight and his nameplate came loose during the fisticuffs, revealing some nasty-looking adhesive residue on the underside. All of which is very entertaining. But here's my question: Since when have the Rangers been using nameplates I always thought they used di …

2007-10-20 22:19 Well, duh!
Head scratchers: What kind of negotiation did the Yankees conduct with Joe Torre Fly him down from New York, meeting lasts 20 minutes, make him an offer he absolutely could refuse.

2007-10-19 12:16 Columnist says Yanks disrespected Torre
SI's Tom Verducci on Joe Torre and the Yankees :[H]ere is how Levine & Co. treated the Hall of Fame bound manager: they offered to cut his pay by 23 percent -- so insulting that the players' association has rules against such a huge cut for its members -- to bring him back only for one year (which keeps their sniping of a lame-duck manager in play) and to throw in "performance bonuses" (which are unprecedented even for the least accomplished managers) based on a postseason model any baseball obs …

Admittedly, the torrent of "surprise" expressed in practically all the rest of the media over the elevation of the American South's first prince of the church has been, well, rather confounding. Par for the (press) corps, sure, but still .... See, even on Cardinal-designate Daniel DiNardo's first morning as head of the US' sixth-largest diocese (19 months ago), it was intimated on these pages that the red hat was already believed to be on its way to Galveston-Houston (...with the hint dropped ag …

2007-10-18 16:49 Joe says no
In the always punchy words of the New York Post, "Joe Torre fired The Boss." The New York Yankees offered their manager of 12 years a one-year contract today, and Torre rejected it -- a shocking twist in the "Will Torre be fired" speculation that has dominated baseball (well, aside from that whole playoffs thing) since the Indians eliminated the Yankees last week. So now Joe is officially gone, and the Yankees are looking for a new manager... who will know that he was George Steinbrenner's secon …

Joe Torres and George Steinbrenner: is it just money or do principles play a role The day after the New York Yankees lost their second consecutive game of the semi-final league series to the Cleveland Indians the owner of the team, Mr. George Steinbrenner, said that the job of the manager Joe Torre śwas on the line ť and that he would not be coming back to manage the team if the Yankees lost the series. Of course, the owner can do what he wants. It s his money on the line. What he should not do …

And so, once again the New York Yankees broke the hearts of fans by not kicking ass in the playoffs, but the person I feel sorriest for is Joe Torre, a man whose job was on the line contingent on a win during these crucial games and who may soon be unemployed once the fallout settles. I've always had a fascination with the managers of the Yankees ever since Billy Martin, a guy I found one hundred times more interesting than his players and the pressures they must weather, so my heart sincerely g …

2007-10-09 15:21 A Joe Torre moment
Last night between watching the Yankees lose to the Indians and the Cowboys beat the Bills, I was perusing blogs I had missed in the last couple of weeks of travel. I saw courtesy of Ross Mayfield this Chris Anderson (of Wired magazine and Long Tail fame) talk at the Microsoft Global CIO Summit. Chris takes CIOs to task for not aggressively adopting consumer technologies. And it struck me the average CIO is like Joe Torre. Or Wade Phillips of the Cowboys. Under constant scrutiny. And frequent f …

I was walking my dog tonight, and I suddenly realized that I could hear a strange sound. Singing. Me. Aloud. Right there on the street. Although I do not wish for anyone to be unhappy because of the performance, or lack thereof, of a sports team, could it be that I was singing–because the Yankees lost Well, yes. In fact, all things being equal, I must confess that the night air also rang with my merry peals of laughter. What, you may ask, was I singing My Favorite Things . Kind o …

So, the Yanks lost tonight - the third straight year they didn't go on to the World Series after making it into the playoffs, and everyone's disappointed, and George said the other day that if the Yankees didn't progress then Joe Torre might be finished as Yankee skipper... But let me say the obvious: Third straight year that the Yankees didn't make it to the series after getting into the playoffs For any other manager, that would be cause for the owner offering a hefty long term contract.

2007-10-09 04:00 Indians Win, Yankees Done, Torre Gone
Interesting, if obvious, development. Indians v Red Sox is bound to be a good matchup, with a slight edge to the Sox due to their experience...but if these divisional series showed anything, it's that youngsters should not be undervalued or denied. The Rockies, Diamondbacks, and Indians all rode to the Championship Series based on thrusting young players into vital roles and watching them thrive...and the Red Sox aren't devoid of young players either. This is shaping up to be a darn good playo …

While the Rockies, Diamondbacks and Red Sox took care of their opponents in 3 straight games, the New York Yankees and Cleveland Indians play on. The Yankees won 8-4 over the Indians last night, staving off elimination from the playoffs and perhaps Joe Torre's elimination. Johnny Damon got to starter Jake Westbrook in the 5th, going yard with two men on base to take the lead. But hey, embrace change. Why SHOULD Joe Torre continue to be the Yankees manager What if the Yanks fall tonight Ha …

One of the dramas of regimes that range between autocratic to totalitarian is that the big leaders have a hard time in getting good help. I mean, they can easily attract through power, money, or both, people capable of doing all the nasty things required for the beloved Supremo to remain in office. But that is all. Professional people, experienced people, people aware of their own value, have a hard time putting up with the tantrums and bad manners of the leaders of such regimes and prefer to ex …
