After yesterday's local headlines screaming that Joe Torre had ripped his former Yankee associates in his new memoir "The Yankee Years," today scribes continued to dig for dirt between the two sides. They weren't getting it from GM Brian Cashman, who told them that Torre called him from Hawaii to smooth things over yesterday, unsolicited. The GM emphasized, "He was a fantastic manager and you couldn't ask for any more than what he did for us." Then there's A-Rod, Derek Jeter's superstar stalker and pre-Madonna prima donna, who suffers a few digs in Torre's book. Torre reveals he told Rodriguez to at least get his own coffee, only to have the slugger then show off his self-purchased cup of joe to his manager. Torre says, The point was to just be one of the guys. He didn't get it." A friend of ARod's tells the Post that the book is a "final act of desperation" and that "Alex's reaction is he hasn't received a signed copy yet."
