Our Web site is overwhelmed with Joe Torre stuff, and I wrote two different columns in Friday's newspaper, so my bonus column on the Torre story got a little lost in the confusion.

Here it is. Short story: The Yankees are not happy with our friends at ESPN.

Reading the morning papers this Friday, an important point occurred to me: It's my job to watch and listen to the electronic media coverage of this and other major events.

But the most literate, most thorough, most interesting information on this and most other stories still comes from daily newspapers (and their Web sites).

There, I said it. Now I'll go back to listening to Chris and Kim and Boomer and Craig discuss . . . well, you know what.
