No way a guy as respected as Torre gets the mid-season axe. ....no matter how far behind they are. But the players are far from safe. ....with the exception of Jeter and Matsui.
That contract would be impossible to unload.
You're right. Torre ain't goin' no way no how before the end of the year. And yeah, Jeter and Matsui are the ONLY untouchables.
Heh -- a 13-run rally tonight? So who cares that they bludgeoned a sickly Tampa Bay team?
Of course people will attribute Boss Steinbrenner's rant as being exactly the fire under the Yanks' @ss that they required. Tonight Susyn Waldman (calling Yankee radio games with John Sterlig) laughed at the notion.
The buzz with Mike and the Mad Dog today? They were finding the Yankee players' and Torre's arduous task of handling awkward media questions about their constant losing quite humorous....
...AND also began drawing parallels with the Yankees 1964-1965 teams that went from first to old and uncompetitive in ONE year.
