For sure a bit overboard for Mr. McCarver. But I have heard some people agree with his general issue with the Yankees.

I love Joe but no other manager would have gotten away with the managerial sh*t he pulled from 03-07. He lost he effectiveness, plain & simple. Not to mention he preached time & time again about keeping things inside the clubhouse. Then he writes a book that exposes stuff that no one knew about (Kevin Brown in a fetal position in the clubhouse for example). Also, Torre IS in the new Stadium & he's in Steinbrenner Field in Tampa.

The man that has been completely removed from the Stadium is Clemens. Something tells me McCarver won't say the Yankees are treating him like Stalin & Hitler did their generals :lol:

how is that a shocking comparison? It might be a little insensitive but it more or less sums up what the Yankees are about.

Did your parents pay for your education or were you a product of the public school system?

Good point, but with that said Torre should just apologize for the whole book ordeal, because it would be a shame if Joe doesn't make any Old Timer's Days. Because he's as important to the organization as Mo/Jeter. With that said, this should be blamed on both sides. The Yanks slapped him in the face with the one yr. deal, and Torre was a huge douche about it with the book.
