Why don't they just change their name to Mariners? They've got every player we ever had that was worth anything, and now Lou.

I still don't think that would do it. Some equate these MFY to Team U.S.A. where you have a bunch of superstars but no team. I recently saw "Miracle" and the line that comes to mind is when Coach Brooks makes the final roster and says he's not looking for the best guys, he's looking for the right guys.
By brining Shef and Matsui right back into the fold, I personally believe they screwed up the chemistry of the team that was steamrolling.

They never got Edgar. He had too much class.

TV is still faster than the Internet. Like I said, it's been reported three times on SportsCenter in the last 30 minutes.

Ree-diculous. His players underachieved. Look at Rodriguez. I bet there were words between Torre and Steinbrenner on the way home, and Joe had enough.
To: Lunatic Fringe
I would watch sportcenter or ESPNnews, but I don't want to see the dodgers highlights. the game itself was painful enough.

Heard it on Sporting News Radio. Hopefully they've confirmed it and it's not just a rumor.

I stopped following baseball years ago once REAL sportsmen died out. These guys are not sportsmen , they are movie star type junkies who charge the parents of little kids $50 to sign an autograph. Could care less if the cancelled all baseball tomorrow.Are there any Americans on baseball teams anymore by the way ?

Why am I not surprised...either that Joe gets canned or Steinbrenner brings back Sweet Lou.

ESPN: Daily News says Torre is LIKELY to be replaced. It's not a done deal yet.

Apparently sources are saying that Torre can quit to save face or be fired.
