      Ya superado el segundo corte de la Unesco, este 9 de septiembre nuestra Torre se hermanará con la Estatua de la Libertad en Nueva York.

      La torre del diavolo (o dell'orso??)
      La Devils Tower è una formazione geologica che si erge sulla pianura del Nord-Ovest del Wyoming, per più di 206 metri dalla sua base e raggiunge i 1534 metri sul livello del mare. Si presenta come un cono con le pareti quasi verticali e la cima spezzata. Sulla sommità si trova una superficie pianeggiante e rotonda di 0,6 ettari. La sua sbalorditiva ed unica forma è frutto di un’evoluzione geologica di antichissime origini. Circa 60 milioni di anni fa, infatti, del magma proveniente dagli strati più profondi della terra si intruse tra le rocce sedimentarie più superficiali. Solidificandosi il magma colò lungo i lati del cono dando alla Devils Tower quelle sue caratteristiche striature verticali. Nel tempo, un lentissimo processo di erosione portò alla luce la formazione geologica

      Nice Start for Torre
      Joe Torre made his Dodgers managerial debut today and it turned out very well for the former Yankee. Torre's Dodgers defeated Barry Zito and the San Francisco Giants 5-0 at Chavez Ravine.Torre first Dodger called out of the pen, you guess it, Scott Proctor. Proctor went .1 of an inning and walked one - just like old times.Even though it's wrong for any Yankee fan to root for the Dodgers I hope they do well under Torre. Regardless of what the haters say - I still have no idea how any Yankees fan could hate him like some do - Torre was a great Yankee manager, and a class-act. I will always root for Torre... well, as long as he's not playing against the Yankees.

      The Difference Between Girardi and Torre: Music
      From George A. King III:March 23, 2008 -- TAMPA - Now here is a real difference between Joe Torre and Joe Girardi. The perception is that Girardi's camp is different than Torre's. However, bench coach Rob Thomson ran Torre's camp and does the same thing for Girardi, so there is very little difference. However, under Torre, clubhouse music was limited to personal earphones. Now, if players don't compete for the system and refrain from arguing about what's being played, Girardi will allow music before and after games. "As long as it's on and nobody is fighting over it," said Johnny Damon , whose amplifier kicked out the tunes that were playing prior and after yesterday's game against the Blue Jays at Legends Field was washed out.

      Rosenthal: Will Torre be part of All-Star Game @ YS?
      From Ken Rosenthal:SURPRISE, Ariz. - This year's All-Star Game will be more a celebration of Yankee Stadium than a salute to the game's best players. Major League Baseball needs to take every possible step to acknowledge the ballpark's storied history, right down to the selection of coaches, if necessary.The two National League managers on Clint Hurdle's coaching staff should be former Yankees Lou Piniella and Willie Randolph — assuming, of course, that Randolph is still the Mets manager in July. And while the Dodgers' Joe Torre already has indicated that he probably would not be a coach, he could still make an electrifying return to the stadium in another capacity.Tommy Lasorda coached third base as Bobby Valentine's honorary manager in 2001.

      Girardi Credits Zimmer not Torre
      Joe Girardi was asked about how his managing strategy developed and he credited his time with Don Zimmer;Fortunately for the new Yankee skipper, he'd spent plenty of time with a manager who had run his team the same way: Don Zimmer.Zimmer is one of the managers Girardi recognizes as his greatest influences, especially when it came to his penchant for taking risks. How many other managers put the hit-and-run on with the bases loaded? How about a squeeze play in that same situation?"There was a risk in Zim's game," Girardi says of the man who managed him with the Cubs from 1989-1991. "He didn't always manage from a piece of paper; he would manage from his guts and his heart. He was a gambler."So now even a guy who served under Joe is crediting Zimmer not Joe for helping him grow.

      BETTING JOE TORRE WISHED HE RETIRED
      In the fith inning of the Atlanta Braves and LAD Joe Torre looks defeated. How do you go from managing a winner to a loser. I like Joe Torre , but man think of the adjustments he is going to have to make. Not just in baseball but living in LA ,with the swimming pools and movie stars. Not only will the sunshine and pretty women be a distraction for Joe , The main issue is that the Dodgers Stink, at least pre season. In the fifth inning the Braves lead the Dodgers 10-2 and I don,t think the onslaught will stop.

      Gela: torre di Manfria, che fare?
      Visto che siete stati in tanti a chiederlo, inserisco questo nuovo post che ha come oggetto Manfria, la sua torre, e i beni culturali in genere della nostra città. Manfria, all'inizio nata come zona residenziale pressochè esclusivamente balneare, si è via via trasformata nel tempo in zona residenziale abitativa. Da anni ormai gli abitanti di quella zona lottano con l'amministrazione comunale ingaggiando un braccio di ferro esasperante affinchè gli venga riconosciuto lo status di frazione. Gli sviluppi di questa vicenda sono stati ampiamenti trattati in un post precedente dal titolo "Gela, Manfria diventa frazione, anzi no" (-manfria-diventa-frazione-anzi-no.html), poi successivamente replicato dal presidente del comitato frazione di manfria Carmelo Tandurella (-il-comitato-frazione-man

      Joe Torre and A Rod to be reunited?
      Will there be a reunion. I love A Rod. Hope he will be wearing Dodger’s Uniform. Joe Torre thinks there’s a chance Alex Rodriguez could join him in Los Angeles, and the new Dodgers manager sure sounded hopeful. “It’s possible,” Torre said Friday, repeating that phrase twice as a small grin crept across his face. “You’ve got four or five clubs maybe that figure to be in the sweepstakes. There aren’t a lot of clubs that re going to be able to pay the money.” Torre walked away from the New York Yankees after 12 seasons as manager last month when they offered him a one-year contract with a paycut. Rodriguez also cut ties with the club, opting out of his 10-year, $252 million contract during Game 4 of the World Series and becoming the biggest prize on the free-agent market.

      La torre di Pisa perde il suo primato mondiale

Questa però fu costruita sopra delle fondamenta poco stabili, a causa della presenza di legno, e proprio la combinazione di legno di quercia e suolo umido, hanno causato il lento cedimento della torre su uno dei suoi fianchi, provocandone la pendenza negli anni.Sono stati fatt

It was also the first time that Los Angeles had ever hired a high profile manager, as former New York Yankees manager Joe Torre was officially hired as Dodgers manager.The press conference concluded a chaotic week for the Dodgers organization, as rumours of first Joe Girardi, and the Torre surfaced as the new Los Angeles manager. There was only one problem, the Dodgers had a manager that was give public assurance that he would be back. But Grady Little who had spent two seasons as the Dodgers manager did not need a rock to fall on him to tell him he was not wanted. He resigned from the position last week calling it a "mutual resignation."Torre said he was feeling very emotional as he was introduced to the media and the fans of Los Angeles.

Now, a half-century after they moved west, he’s their manager. Torre was hired by Los Angeles to succeed Grady Little on Thursday, taking the job two weeks after walking away from the New York Yankees. “Joe Torre comes with a great resume,” Dodgers general manager Ned Colletti said on a conference call. “What he’s done the last 12 years is as powerful as any manager in recent memory.”

      The Associated Press announced Thursday that the Los Angeles Dodgers have hired Joe Torre to be their new manager. The report says that the former Yankee skipper has agreed to a three year deal for $13 million. The report also says that his bench coach with New York Don Mattingly will be going to Los Angeles as well as part of his staff. Former Dodgers manager Tommy Lasorda speaking for team owner Frank McCourt said that the team was excited by the hiring. Torre turned down a one year incentive laden contract to remain with the Yankees last month. He will be introduced as the manager of the Dodgers on Monday. Next year the team will be celebrating their 50th anniversary in Los Angeles. The team moved from Brooklyn, New York where there still remain grieving fans.© Copyright 2007 thesackattack.com

"It's either done or it's not done. We're still trying to learn about each other. There's been some light discussions to try and get a feel. I'm not going to get into where the negotiations are. It's still early in the process in some ways."Colletti said he first spoke with Torre in the past few days."We've had some conversations with him very recently," Colletti said. "We've got other people we've got under consideration. We're in the process of compiling a list. Once we get a list, we'll go from there. We're taking it day by day."Teams are generally directed to interview at least one minority candidate for open managerial jobs, but the Dodgers were gr

      A Cruel Business - Grady Little and Joe Torre
      I feel sorry for Grady Little. It's like deja vu all over again, this time this departure may be even more cruel. I can understand why the Dodgers did what they did, but you just do not do that to a long-tenured baseball guy, especially when he's been a winner.Based on rumors of Torre being hired as manager of the Dodgers, and Joe Girardi apparently spurning them too, rather than have the carpet swept from under him, Little resigned as manager of the Dodgers.Not pleased with their 82 wins in 2007, the Dodgers were looking to replace Little with another guy - even though the organization gave the man a full vote of confidence in the offseason. Would you blame Grady Little for leaving? It's easier to quit than to be fired quite frankly.

I went out and enjoyed the day, ran some errands, and spent a lot of the day talking to family and special people in my life.Well, there was not any baseball last night; however, the huge talk of sporting world was Joe Torre turning down a one year contract from the New York Yankees to manage. As we all know, the role of the Yankees in the whole situation has been almost universally condemned in the media, blogs and on television.People may argue that Torre definitely had a dearth of talent with his World Series winning teams and his 12 straight playoff appearances; however, he became extremely adept at handling the New York media and importantly, George Steinbrenner.In the end, managers are hired to be fired; alas, Joe Torre because of he want through has joined a special pantheon of sports icons whose success, but more telling, their influence on the game and the respect of their peers is unparalleled. ***I ma

      Torre out of the Yanks
      It’s really disappointing to learn that Joe Torre declined the offer. He is one of the greatest manager of all time. I will be missing him. After all he had accomplished — four World Series titles, 12 straight years in the playoffs, almost certain entry into the Hall of Fame — and after all the indignities, this was one Joe Torre wasn’t going to stand for. He wasn’t going to take a pay cut from the New York Yankees, no matter that he still would have been the highest-paid manager in baseball, and he certainly wasn’t going to prove himself all over again. Torre walked away Thursday, turning down a $5 million, one-year contract – $2.5 million less than he made this season, when the Yankees failed to make it past the first round of the playoffs for the third straight year.

      Joe Torre
      Let me begin by stating that, despite disliking the Yankees, Joe Torre is my new hero. To work for a franchise and in a city where you're always going to be the scapegoat -- blamed for the bad and ignored about the good -- has got to get to a person, yet he did it with class and dignity. Even if you hate the team, you have got to respect that.And then there is that whole leading the team to four Championships and nine straight division championships thing. Sure, the Yankees haven't won in a while -- but it's not his fault. (See, e.g., Jeter, Derek and his surprisingly low 2007 postseason batting average.) But I digress. To have your job threatened in the middle of the postseason, and then left guessing for days on end is bad enough, but then, to have the ownership insult you with a low-ball contract offer is insulting. It takes guts to walk away from a job you clearly love, with millions of dollars on the table. But clearly the payoff was not worth the hassle.Good for yo
