Torre will manage the Yankees in 2007

I am so happy to hear this
Not because I could care less about the yankees nor because I care about
Torre
Its because I want to be able to turn on ESPN and not hear a story about the
yankees
I am so frustrated in that I switched to ESPN after the regular television
coverage was over to see more about the Cardinals and hear ESPN eat some
crow but instead I had to wait for an hour as all they could talk about was
the whole Torre story.
I am sick of it
