Not So Clueless

From the Courant -
Yankees manager Joe Torre, normally a loyal supporter of Bud Selig, criticized the commissioner’s choice of George Mitchell to head the investigation into steroid use.
“To me, if you want an impartial person you should appoint someone without a connection to baseball,” Torre said Friday, alluding to Mitchell’s affiliation with Red Sox ownership as a director and his position as chairman of The Walt Disney Co., whose ESPN division has contracts with Major League Baseball. “Of course, it can be someone who knows something about baseball.”
I think Joe knows that the old man wearing the Yankee-hater hat in his rear view mirror is closer than he appears………
I say this only half-jokingly: the appointment of George Mitchell allows Bud’s favorite team total impunity. Trot Nixon, you’re go for lift-off. Funny thing is, they’re still not going to re-sign you. It is to laugh.
