Please write a book countering his accusations - I would pay $ 20.99 for it, or at least $9.99 on Amazon Kindle.

Or his choice to start Clemens in the 2007 ALDS on 20 some days rest? Or his choice to then start Wang on short rest? Or his choice to overuse countless relievers while burying other effective ones in his doghouse based on one bad performance? Or his choice to bat Cairo 2nd in the order for half a season and play him at 1B? Or his choice to play Sheffield at 1B IN THE PLAYOFFS?!? Or his choice to bat ARod 8th? Or his choice not to pull the team off the field when Joba was being attacked by midges? Or his choice to bring Jeff Weaver into a tie game in extra innings of a pivotal World Series game? Torre is at least partially responsible for them not winning the WS in 01, 03, 04, 06, and 07. Did his book mention his choice to start Kevin Brown in game 7?

For being such a nice guy, he really turned into a doucher the moment he was asked to earn some of his salary. Torre certainly found a way to torch as many bridges as possible.

He took great issue with Torre's claim that JD was not motivated and ambivalent about continuing his career in 2006/2007. I’m sure Johnny was livid about that retirement rumor.
