On the Yankees beat

Nicknames in baseball sometimes are taken from hip-hop culture. For example, the other day Joe Torre referred to outfielder Terrence Long as “T-Long.” That got me thinking about the other things I’d love to hear come out of the Yankees manager’s mouth:
-- When asked why he made a certain move: “That’s how I roll.”
-- When asked about a player being booed: “Don’t hate the player, hate the game.”
-- Referring to his four World Series rings as “bling-bling.”
--When he sees Long enter the room, yelling out, “T-Long is in the hizz-ouse!”
Unfortunately – or fortunately -- I think those are things I’m never going to hear from Joe.
