What you really dislike about Torre is he can and does buy several thousand dollar bottles of wine.

Pretty pathetic.

I have not said one bad word about Joe Torre, unless being of the opinion that he is overpaid is bad. That to me is more a reflection on Steinbrenner then Torre. I have no qualms about his reasons for accepting the money. He would be a fool not to.

As to the wine?

Maybe jealous is a better word?

But over all I do not believe the exorbitant prices paid for some wines is warranted by most of those who pay such prices.

You should not be so quick to make so many assumptions w/o facts to support them.
