Torre Quits

He was offered 5 million for the season, another 1 million for the 1st round, 1 million for the Championship and 1 million for the World Series.
Do the job and you got a million raise.
With all the contracts the Yankees need to fill, he could have dealt with that contract, and they gave him a 2009 option to boot.
Greed knows all, I guess, or was it that someone had said?
If I remember right, when he came here in 1996, he knew where he was going.
This is the New York Yankees. Win or goodbye. He gave us a great run no doubt, but to turn down 5 million, to leave the team now with all the changes due, well that is crap.
If the Boss fires him, that's one thing, it is the bosses team and not Torre's, as much as he'd like to think it is.
As I had mentioned in a prior post, losing in 2001 was the worst thing he could do.
This ranks a close second.

Welcome To The News Maze

I opened this blog...
so I could get off my chest shit that racks my nerves in the news. Between the media, the politicians, local sports, and public servant bullshit issues.

We have been handed nothing but lies about the war, September 11th 2001, Katrina, the oil take over, the cell phone radiation, and the heroin deals this government has made over the past administration's takeover.

The body count has been astronomical, and the attention it gets is always in bits and pieces. Some focus on the war, some 9-11, some on the victims of Katrina and some on the edges of the reality that we are getting screwed big time.

Here we will focus on it all! No free rides and no hidden agendas. We want answers, we'll ask for them, we'll share them and we'll plead for them as well.

September 11th 2001 I think is a good place for me to start. So many people had died, and so many questions had risen from the flesh infested dust, yet we let it pass without as much as a legal commitment. Justice was blinded by headlines of anthrax, Eron, the Church and it's sex scandals and anything else the people were willing to let blind them.

Normally, here in New York, we take pride in how we approach a crime scene. We look at details and we piece together what could be the cause of the crime. But this crime, had no crime scene, no investigation, no evidence turned over to the DA's office. What we got was full line of bullshit, that people wanted to believe, for people to keep the faith, while all along, being lied to. Sometimes, a lie, can be swallowed and digested just so it will pass through us.

First with all crimes, we have to look at who had the means, the motive and the opportunity. Within that frame work most crime investigations are conducted. We never had that chance, that chance was taken away from us before September 11, 2001. Now, in 2007, the crime scene still sits with human ash and more people paying the price because of this ash. A crime that has been killing for over seven years, and yet we still have no investigation? What we have is a war, deflecting our deepest desire to ask a simple question. What really happened on September 11th 2001?
