Per Bill Shaikin's piece in the Times , but what's weirder is the by-now ridiculous comment from Bud Selig on the McCourt splitup: Mannion said the divorce has not affected the club's day-to-day operations. Commissioner Bud Selig said Wednesday he believes the club is "in good hands" for now under McCourt, Colletti and Manager Joe Torre. Damning with faint praise?

Joe Torre may be telling the media how happy he is that the Yankees won the World Series, but he bashed George Steinbrenner - again - in the Los Angeles Times, comparing The Boss to Torre's abusive father. I thought he went way too far with this. Check out my Faster Times piece on it.
