The New York Yankees will <emphasize>not <\/emphasize>fire Joe Torre. Joe Torre will come back for the final year of his contract to manage the New York Yankees at $7 million a year. You know, the Yankees kind of remind me of the Democrats &#8212; and the media that cover the Yankees remind me of the Drive-By Media that cover the Democrats, in this sense. Every season the template, the prism through which Yankee baseball is covered is: &#8220;They gonna win it all. They gonna go to the World Series. They got the best talent money can buy. They\u2019ve got the most expensive payroll. They\u2019ve got the biggest stars &#8212; and it\u2019s only a matter of getting to October. It\u2019s a<emphasize> fait accompli<\/emphasize>.&#8221; <\/line><BR\/><img loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/yankees_like_democrats.Par.0002.ImageFile.jpg\" width=\"181\" height=\"245\" class=\"alignright\"\/>Now, the fawning Yankee sports media will really dump on them during the season if they lose here or there, and they\u2019ll dump on individual players, <emphasize>but <\/emphasize>the whole city of New York &#8212; I know this. I have lived there eight years. There is this expectation that the world is not right if the Yankees don\u2019t win and that the season is irrelevant and may as well not even be played if the Yankees don\u2019t win, and it\u2019s sort of like the Drive-By Media covering the Democrats today. &#8220;They\u2019re going to win the House and Senate every year and every four years they\u2019re going to win the White House, and if they don\u2019t, there\u2019s something wrong with the world order, something just out of whack. Why, they\u2019ve got the best talent! Why, they\u2019ve got the best people. They\u2019ve got the Ted Kennedys and the Chuck Schumers and the Nancy Pelosis and the Harry Reids! What is wrong? Somebody is stealing these elections from them! Somebody is out there <emphasize>screwing <\/emphasize>with the Democrats.&#8221;<\/line><BR\/>Now, the sports media in New York doesn\u2019t go that far when the Yankees lose. They blame the Yankees. They blame a few players on the Yankees, whereas the Drive-By Media will never, <emphasize>ever <\/emphasize>blame a Democrat for doing anything wrong. But in terms of the sports media bubble in New York, if the Yankees don\u2019t win&#8230; It\u2019s not this way for any other team there, by the way. It\u2019s not this way for the Mets. It\u2019s not this way for the Giants. As a matter of fact it\u2019s just the <emphasize>opposite <\/emphasize>for the Jets. The football season is not normal unless the Jets finish in the cellar &#8212; and when the Jets start doing well, there\u2019s something wrong. Of course, the New York Islanders, that\u2019s the toughest cover in sports, in terms of media. They\u2019re out there on Long Island. But the Rangers haven\u2019t done much lately since they last won the Stanley Cup (1994). The Giants, there is no expectation that the Giants have to win the Super Bowl or the football season is meaningless, but when it comes to the Yankees in baseball, it\u2019s just like the Drive-By Media covering the Democratic Party nationally. So, essentially, the New York Yankees have rehired Howard Dean for next season. (Laughing.) <\/line><BR\/>I\u2019m just kidding. I love Joe Torre. I\u2019m just trying to make an illustration.
