TORRE REPLACES RYAN

MAYBERRY, NC-- Joe Torre has just replaced former "Barney's Bad Boys" manager Meg Ryan as the new skipper.

Ryan, who was unavailable for comment, has taken a demotion as marketing manager.

Torre adds years of experience both as an All Star player and as an All Star and world champion coach.

"I'm thrilled to have the oppurtunity to take on a big challenge like this one," said Torre on Sunday. "Meg has a nice caboose, but we need a new game plan. Barney's Bad Boys' are going to NIP THIS IN THE BUD!!"
