Ouch! YES Network cameras show Joe Torre, the Island

On tonight's Yankee-Devil Rays game, the YES cuties up north show a long promo for an upcoming Boston series loaded with MTV-like shots. First, there's always a series coming up with Boston, 2nd I don't watch them, and 3rd who can absorb what the promo is telling you. Unless you're quite hip or on mushrooms. My point is what followed. We come back to the game after a fireworks-like promo to a shot of 1 man, standing all alone leaning on the railing in the dugout viewing the game. The man depicted was of course Joe Torre, placed dramatically--I don't know if this shot was live or tape, but it was pointed--by the guys at YES. There are many bosses at YES, but I think George can still call one of them up and say, "Make Torre look like he's twisting slowly, slowly in the wind."

• P.S. I wouldn't use this approach, it's a waste of time. It's been tried and doesn't work. Nor will it change how Joe Torre manages the bullpen.
