Enough Already, Joe

"The Dodgers were always special and I certainly expect the Dodgers will always be special," Joe Torre said at today's press conference. "I get choked up." Torre grew up a Giants fan. Presumably that means that he hated both the Dodgers and Yankees as a child. He has spent the past twelve years talking about how special it is to be a Yankees manager and now he is choked up about being a part of the Dodger organization. I'm still fond of the man, but Torre is showing himself to be a bit of a phony. He would get misty about managing the Montgomery Biscuits.
