“It’s easy to say, oh yeah, we’ll dismiss that, let’s go get them tomorrow,” [Yankee reliever, Sean] Henn said. “But it’s a 5 1/2-hour flight to Seattle. It’s probably going to seem a lot longer than that.”

The Yanks got their bell rung yesterday afternoon to the tune of 14-2 at the Stadium. The less said about this one, the better.

Over at the Times, Joe Lapointe has an update on the new Yankee Stadium, while Manny Fernandez writes about Latin food at the current park.

Meanwhile, in a sad development, Frank Torre is back in intensive care:

“He’s not doing too well,” Joe Torre said. “The kidney was functioning, but it takes a hit when you have to have all those antibiotics. He was sort of in and out (yesterday) morning when I talked to him. But on aspects of the game (Wednesday) night, he had no problems, which was good.”

“He’s been on borrowed time for a lot of years,” Torre said yesterday, in the quiet of a virtually empty office. “When you’re a 75-year-old man, and you’re in the hospital, nothing’s ever a lay-up.”

Our thoughts and best wishes go out to the Torre family.
