Rescue me, or Joe Cool

For one night, at least, he's safe. Joe Torre still has a job, and the Yankees fight to live another day. The one thing I've always admired about Torre is no matter what Steinbrenner throws at him, no matter what the New York media throw at him, he is unflappable. He knows himself. Simple as that. He's not defined by the vicissitudes of others. Quiet strength, like another coach.
