Notes: Torre appreciates support
"There are times you have to swallow hard sometimes and feel that this is unfair a time or two," Torre said. "But in the big picture, you can't pick and choose the parts you want to keep. It's one package, and you have to deal with it."

One day after most of the fallout from principal owner George Steinbrenner's comments to a New Jersey newspaper, Yankees manager Joe Torre said that he had appreciated votes of support and confidence from members of his clubhouse.
Most Yankees, asked about Steinbrenner's insistence that the club advance to the American League Championship Series, said that their focus remained on winning games in the ALDS.
"We all know the last thing we need at this point in time is a distraction of some kind," Torre said. "We all need to be solid. I'm sure not everybody wants me to come back and manage here, and it does hurt my feelings, because we have so many players.
"The only thing you want from the players is the ability to play together and care about what we do. I think that's what's going through this clubhouse right now."
