Picasner, Chill

Thought I'd post Mitch Kakutani's review of "The Yankee Years", so we could get a reaction from someone who has actually read the book. For reasons unknown, our beloved if closed minded Picasner has decided to wholly trash the book, the authors, and Joe Torre in particular, prior to reading it - and has vowed that his eyes, for fear of blindness (?), will never scan its pages nor will he ever subject its contents to his always objective, unbiased analysis of all things pinstripped. Reminds me of of Fox news' "fair and balanced reporting" aka, Screw the Truth.

While I have often suggested in private conversation that our esteemed one had no idea what he was talking about, and he has often returned the favor, it is disturbing the one who we rely on for deep Yankee insights has eternally digitized that, in this case, he not only doesn't know what he's talking about but is proud of it. Hey, perhaps our favorite does have the qualities necessary to replace Bud Selig.
