I'm not sure Torre even wants to be back next year anyways.

Great way for Steinbrenner to instill a sense of loyalty and confidence in Torre and the players.But as a Sox fan I’d love to see the dreaded Yankees go down in three.

"His job is on the line," Steinbrenner told The Bergen Record. "I think we're paying him a lot of money." The last time I heard Steinbrenner speak he was almost completely incoherent and had a very confused look on his face -- senile beyond belief (unless he's afflicted with some other medical problem we don't know about). And that was over a year ago, so I doubt he even knows who's managing the team on most days.
Anyway it looks like if the Yanks don't win three straight their last year playing in The House That Ruth Built (next year) will be with a new manager. ....perhaps Don Mattingly. Today could be the last playoff game ever played in Yankee Stadium. Lotta stories in that place -- 26 World Series titles.

"He won't umpire our games anymore."~ SteinbrennerI didn't realize that the Yank-offs had veto power over who umpires their games. Might explain a few things.
I would rather the Yankees lose this series in five games than three. I hope all the games go extra innings and both pitching staffs get maxed out.

Maybe if Torres gets fired, he can get a job with the Orioles. Then he can work for the slimeball who inherited Steinbrenner’s mantle as the absolutely worst owner in sports. The Orioles will never field a winning team again until The Montrous Midget is just a bad memory in Baltimore history.

"The umpire was full of [expletive]," Steinbrenner told the paper. "He won't umpire our games anymore." Hey Whinebrenner, the Indians played under the same conditions.
So what are you going to do? Something underhanded or illegal I suppose.
