The Petra Zone

Haven't they always had the best players money can buy? Or at least the highest payroll? Before Joe Torre they were not getting much return on their investments. New York is a tough animal to tame and I'd say Joe has gotten a good handle on it. He made some tough decisions this time around, ones tha...

That type of talk reminds me very much of the 80s. They were fortunate in that Joe T. won the world series in his first year there and thus got a little more patience in the following years. They developed a solid core and have not strayed too far from that. So many other teams, like the red sox, ar...

As much as she loved D.E. she had an equal amount of hatred for Jeff. Midway through the season that year everyone was om her v...
