Joe Torre Is Blogging About Things Like Los Angeles, and Small Dogs

Perhaps you haven't heard, but Joe Torre is currently in Los Angeles. And it's a mid-life crisis type thing too, if you believe the VISA commercials (said it on TV, etc., so yeah). Which might explain why Joe is suddenly firing up a blog on MLBlogs.com, the thing that we love because it's about sports and it's not Dane Cook.
Well, here's my first blog entry. I was a little nervous at first, but the guys who blog on MLBlogs said it was sort of like keeping an online diary, so I figured how hard could it be? Aside from the fact that men don't usually have diaries; even the word "diary" brings to mind a little pink book with a heart-shaped lock and a label that reads "My Secrets" in lavender bubble letters. But that's not really me, so I think a blog is a more acceptable "dude-like" version.

Some of the guys talk about their team or their swing, their away game trips, some even write restaurant reviews (thanks for the reco, Ethier). Me? I'm just a coach with a new team, a new city, a new life as a West-Coaster, and above all a new outlook on life.
He then goes on (actually this was the first entry about a week ago) to make awkward comments about web speak (ROFL!!!!1) Most of the blogs are actually well written, and while I don't doubt Torre's ability to write, I just don't know if I'm buying how completely freaking chipper they all sound.

There's also a very heavy "I just moved to L.A." factor going on, which is cool and all ... but he's been there for a few months now. So, while he should be kind of used to at this point, I guess I understand why his agent keeps reminding him to spin that image how it all seems so new.
