The All-Star coaches were announced yesterday, and Joe Torre wasn't on the list. Willie Randolph -- soon-to-be-fired Willie Randolph -- was, and some might see that as a slight to Dodgers manager and True Yankee for life Joe Torre. Torre? He doesn't seem to care: "I have no problem with that," Torre said. "I mean, anything that happens at Yankee Stadium is a spectacle, and I'm sure that it's going to be a very special time there. But I have no emotional feelings about it at all. I mean, I spent so many days and games in that ballpark and so many special nights -- postseason," Torre said. "I mean, I've got a bucket full of memories. The All-Star Game certainly is going to be a spectacle, but I'm certainly satisfied with the time I put in there."Well, that's one controversy that failed to get on its feet. I can actually understand if Torre feels slighted by Rockies manager Clint Hurdle, but, you know, it's just the All-Star game. Besides the whole World Series home field thing, the All-Star Game is not a big deal. Neither is the fact that Joe Torre won't be there.

1. Just ANIOTHER dumb move by Hurdle................I guess he`s afraid all the attention will focus on Torre and there will be nothing to feed his ego.Randolph? What a joke! As soon as he goes the Met`s season will start, oh yea and lets hope he takes Peterson with him.............

3. Why should Joe have a problem with this??? He was not in the NL last year and besides Melvin was Manager of the Year and has his team in 1st place but still was not picked.
