"Did anyone really think they were going to make Torre look bad?" another Yankee source asked. "Did they really think, after that (Aug. 9) YES question about why Torre let (Alan) Embree pitch to (Paul) Konerko (who hit a ninth inning HR) - that Joe was going to say: 'The hell with it, I just let Embree pitch'?"
Okay. So why did Embree pitch to Konerko? If it's really a dumb, poorly researched question, then Torre (and Raissman) should have no problem providing an intelligent, well researched rejoinder.
"How dare a reporter ask Joe Torre a tough question. He's Joe Torre."
To quote Torre, "I worry about trying to make moves to win a game, as opposed to how to explain it." Which is actually pretty close to, "The hell with it, I just let Embree pitch."
"The sad thing here is despite all the happy talk concerning Torre's meeting with Steinbrenner in Tampa, where the manager brought up the YES fiasco, bet the ranch these "pointed" questions will continue coming Torre's way in 2006 too."
What a tragedy that a reporter would have the nerve to ask Joe Torre "pointed" questions. how sad. What's sad is that Torre can't give any adequate answers.
Kimberly Jones does not make Joe Torre look bad. George Steinbrenner does not make Joe Torre look bad. The YES Network does not make Joe Torre look bad. Joe Torre makes Joe Torre look bad.
