[gregzzy23]

An idea my boy and I came up with when we were high....

GIVE A-ROD NUMBER 6!!!

Imagine Alex winning the series donning #6?

Chances are this will not happen but I also think theres no chance Torre gets retired now so basically the number is up for the taking.

^ You don't think Torre would get retired now?

I don't think it was a good move writing the book on his part but I still think he'll eventually have his number retired.

 

[gregzzy23]

^Ehh, probably will, but who knows how pissed off the Steinbrenners really are.

Too bad we don't play the Dodgers this season

WESLEY CHAPEL, Fla. -- New York Yankees captain Derek Jeter knew it was coming. His reaction to Joe Torre's new book?

"I thought that was going to be the first question," Jeter said Wednesday night at his Turn 2 Foundation dinner.

"To be quite honest with you, people were saying this and saying that. Then all I hear is, people saying wait until you read the book. To be fair to everyone, I think you have to wait to see what's in it first and then give Mr. T an opportunity to address it."

Co-written by Torre and Sports Illustrated's Tom Verducci, "The Yankee Years" is due out Feb. 3. Among other things, the book details how some teammates referred to Alex Rodriguez as "A-Fraud" after he joined the Yankees for the 2004 season, and it compares A-Rod's supposed obsession with Jeter to the movie "Single White Female."

Torre managed the Yankees from 1996-2007 before taking over the Los Angeles Dodgers last season.

"It gets to a point where it seems like we're always talking about the same thing," Jeter said. "It seems like every year at this time it's the same questions about the same things. I think everyone is eager to get to spring training and start playing on the field."

Yankees catcher Jorge Posada agreed with Jeter about Torre's book.

"I've got to find out what it's all about," Posada said. "You really can't comment on something that you don't know. I have no idea right now. I've got to read it. It's a matter of time for us to sit down and read it, and talk to Joe."

Tampa Bay senior adviser Don Zimmer was Torre's bench coach for four World Series championships with the Yankees, and plans to get a copy of the book when it becomes available.

"When I look at the book, then I'll know," Zimmer said. "Sometimes you hear things that Joe said, and I don't believe all of it. He might have said some things. That's what sells the book. But you can't believe everything you hear. You have to read the book."

Former major league manager Buck Showalter isn't sure he'd want to write a revealing book about his days in baseball.

"I'd have to make up my mind that for sure I wasn't going back on the field before I ever wrote one," Showalter said. "I have feelings about it. Obviously I haven't done it. There's a certain privilege to having those jobs that you have to live up to."

Former Yankees first baseman Tino Martinez, currently an assistant to general manager Brian Cashman, didn't expect his former manager would write a book.

"It caught me off guard. I was little surprised Joe would write a book," Martinez said. "I loved playing for Joe Torre. I know we all did. You have to read the book, and I haven't read it."

Notes: Zimmer continues to make progress in his recovery from a small stroke late last year. "I'm talking better. I lost my speech," Zimmer said. "I'm on the road to recovery." He plans to be with the defending AL champion Rays for the start of spring training next month. ... Posada, coming off right shoulder surgery, said he is not yet 100 percent, but expects to be ready for opening day. He is currently taking part in a throwing program.

EDIT: This dude onewearz posting the pictures I posted the page beforeand has in the title that the pictures are there

[h2]That's CC as in Chemistry Class[/h2]


There's been a lot of talk about clubhouse chemistry in the wake of Joe Torre setting fire to the George Washington Bridge.

So now seems like a good time to bring up the recent actions of one Carsten Charles Sabathia.

Joba Chamberlain was quick to tell me the other day how much he has enjoyed getting to know CC over the last few weeks. The two had dinner in Manhattan the day before CC's press conference and have kept in touch since.

Now comes word that Sabathia flew to Florida this week to take part in the golf tournament Derek Jeter hosts to raise money for the Turn 2 Foundation. You've also heard of Sabathia's striking up a friendship with Johnny Damon and his plans to move to New Jersey full time with his family.

Back in the dark days of November and December, all we heard was how Sabathia didn't want to play for the Yankees and would shun New York. Instead he is embracing the idea and working hard to ingratiate himself with his new teammates.

If Sabathia goes 13-12, none of this much matters. But after reading about how the Yankees treated A-Rod like Fredo, it's worth noting that Sabathia appears to be fitting in just fine.

[h2]Jeter, of course, got the best souvenir[/h2]

If you're looking for this, Derek Jeter took it home.

A-Rod got the "You're a huge fraud and we all hate you" sign that Joe Torre hung over his locker.

Speaking of Torre, he'll be on Larry King Live tonight, assuming Larry King is still alive.
