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.

The New Blog

For anyone still interested, After the Revolution was taken, so I named the new blog The Joe is Dead, Long Live the Joe. That wound up presenting some problems as far as an address was concerned. Here it is http://wwwnewjoe.blogspot.com Please note that there is no dot between www and newjoe. If you put in the expected dot, it will take you elsewhere--to some guy who has lost or tried to lose alot of weight. Anyway, I've been slow starting and the blogspot is pretty sparse (no Zack to help make it fancy), but I have begun my critique of the new order. Hope to see you all there some time this season.
