F*&! Joe Torre: And now for AROD

F*&! Joe Torre

Since Joe Torre breaks our hearts, this blog will break his balls. Every day of the season I will detail the errors, misjudgements, and omissions that make him the most overrated manger in the history of the game (even more than Tommy Lasorda!). But Joe Torre is not just one bum in hero's clothing (i.e. the pinstripes); he is the quintessential counterfeit of excellence, a figure who embodies the triumph of the ersatz that pervades every aspect of our culture. No organization in sport, nay in civilization generally, has manifested a committment to continuing greatness like the New York Yankees, a beacon to all, in every field of endeavor, that the best is always possible. How intolerable is it then that the Yankees should be managed by a mediocrity on stilts, a figure with a reputation for greatness without any of the attributes thereof. Beginning with Torre and ending with Torre, this blog will look to smash idols we create out of inadvertence, ignorance, and complacency.

And now for AROD

When listening to the media chorus reproaching NEW YORK for its unjust and counterproductive tratment of AROD, consider the source: a jockacracy (Morgan, reynolds) and their acolytes (Ravech, Olney) and Steve Phillips, who learned nothing about the City in his tenure as Mets GM except how to fail miserably in it. They all have reasons for concerning themselves with the welfare of the superstar himself rather than the Yankees franchise, which they don't particularly like anyway. But the booing is, however unconsciously, not only more justified but more strategic than theEmily Posts of baseball can conceive. Please see next post.
