WHATS THE BOOK DEAL?

Halfway into Joe Torre’s book “The Yankee Years” I feel utterly deceived from all the hype about his book and the comments that were released to the media. This book is more stats and technical details on certain games that I already know than it is gossip, heartfelt experiences and after hours antics as the sleeve of the book mentions. Not only did the media make a big deal but I am currently not sure who actually wrote this book entirely.. was it Joe or Tom Verducci alone? It’s sporadic in its tale jumping from one subject to another than back to the original with no consistancy in it’s chapters. I wish Joe Torre wrote this on his own. If your going to pass on a book to the media as a gossipy type or “your experience”book then make sure it is that. I found this book to be a bit technical but there were several parts I found to be interesting and felt like it came from Joe Torre directly.  I can say this after reading Paul Oneill’s book and noticing a difference.

STERODS

As you all know Alex Rodriguez aka A-Rod aka Sterod has confessed to using well known performing enhancing drugs. Do they not know what happens to people who use these types of drugs? The next thing he knows he’s in jail for committing a henious crime because he could not control his anger. These guys do not live in the “real world” where ordinary people like myself could care less about impressing our bosses to the point of taking drugs. Let me tell you the last boss I had needed some drugs herself. But that is besides the point.

Once a cheater always a cheater as I always say. Certain members of his team even defended him like Tino. Tino’s answer to that issue awhile back was that his body never changed and I thought ok that is true, but guess that answer did not matter. I for one think he needs to take a hike somewhere. Him and his ego both can go date madonna.
