LOL..actually the minute I read your post I bookmarked it for later in the season should the Yankees suffer another crushing defeat (I believe my post #7? says that). I think you are conceding a bit early. The reason I decided to post now was because I think the Yankees are about to snap out of it and I wanted to get in on the low point! Its a long season...heck the Sox did not play better than .500 ball until mid-July last year.

Well, I think they've hit rock bottom now, reaching last place and losing three of four to the Devil Rays. IMHO, the quickest fix solution they could do to increase morale, both with the team and the fans, is to release Kevin Brown! Torre's still insisting on throwing him out to pitch on Sunday at the Stadium. I think that after he gives up the inevitable six runs, that the Yankees should cut him during the game, and have Bob Shepard announce it. I guarantee you it would get the biggest ovation of the year! ;)

More seriously, I think it's time for Torre to retire. He has obviously lost control of this team, really since last year's playoff debacle. I'm of the opinion that the optimum time for a manager to run a team is five years. Torre's on his tenth year now. He doesn't have the fire anymore, and he doesn't seem to be getting through to the team.

That is almost unthinkable, because Torre is such a class act and a tremendous manager. Its not him, but they definately need a shakeup. Had not watched any Yankee games until last night and it was very noticable that they are just going through the motions. Looks to me like they need a guy like Larry Bowa to come in and knock some heads together.

Of course, being a Red Sox fan, I hope they stick with the status quo!
