Trenton masters “The Master”…again

If the Yanks put IPK on the playoff roster, he might have to change his wedding date. Great quote by Torre on ths situation:

“I didn’t get one of the invitations,” he [Torre] said. “We just hope his prospective wife is very understanding.”

IPK said he has to talk to his fiancee before offering an opinion on the matter. (that’s a marriage joke, haha)

Oh, and sweeeeet.
