Maybe that Torre guy brought something to the table

I don't blame it on injuries. Every team gets injuries, and with the financial resources of the Yankees, you should weather the storm.

I agree with the apathetic players. The tone of the season was set in the preseason when the unheralded small market Rays drilled the Yankee catcher, and the response was a complaint that you're not supposed to play all out in the Spring.
