ARod is paid an astronomical amount of money and doesn't deliver, and they fire the Manager. Go figure.
All those uber-sized multi millionaires eating all them steroids and they still loose?
Re-arranging the deck chairs on the Titanic.
For shame!
You gotta be kidding me, that fast? What`s wrong, Herr Steinbrenner is upset his overpaid and preened metrosexuals didn`t win?
I'm kind of glad that the Yankees blew it this time; I am tired of seeing Torre cry whenever they win.
Sad, Joe is a class act, and a Republican to boot.
This is a bullsh*t story. The Daily News "sources" are the drunks at the bar that their British tabloid editors frequent.
Torre could well be gone, but I can guarantee you no official Yankee sources were breathlessly running to the Daily News minutes after the game to announce that Torre will be fired. It's complete bullsh*t.
Why was this posted? There was no such announcement. IT was purely speculation by an ESPN columnist. Torre has NOT been fired (yet). He will be, of course. A-Rod is a bigger problem for the Yankees. He has a no-trade clause for 2 more years. They cannot get rid of him, and he wants to stay to overcome his failures this year, he says. What I don't get is why the Yanks ever hired Randy Johnson in the first place, who has been dreadful for 3 years. And Jared Wright? I think Brian Cashman should go as well.
According to Chicago radio Joe Girardi has put off a meeting with the Cubs to go talk to the Yankees.
That's who the Yankees should hire. Not some washed up old guy.
But it's the same media in Chicago who missed a known fact among Cubs circles that Andy MacPhail was stepping down as team president.
Don't want to lose Joe to the Yankees. But that's our real competition for him. Not the Nats, Rangers or Giants (where Bob Brenley will end up)
Almost 12 hours after this thread was posted and neither has come to pass.
Lou Piniella new manager of NY Yankees...
If so, I predict the Yankees will not win the AL East. Lou Piniella is a nut. What was the guy doing in Tampa Bay his last season - starting relivers and having the starters pitch as closers?
Piniella used to be a good manager. Later in his career he turned into a nutter.
Shows you how much credibility the Daily News and ESPN have.
Only the New York Post got this right all along. But hey, eveybody knows they're not credible.
