Joe Torre is a class act and an example of how to manage in times of crisis. He's brought Steinbrenner three championships, took a relatively weak Yankee team to a 4th series in 2001 and lost to a team with Randy Johnson and Curt Schilling, both players he made major efforts to obtain in later years, and a series against a Marlins team with hot pitching.

He's a whiney spoiled little boy who thinks that the Series belongs to him. Cashman and Torre should tell him to stick his job up his ass. Several teams would take those guys in a heartbeat. George went out and pissed away major money as well as his farm system and really, it looks bleak for them in the upcoming years.

The with exception of the Red Sox, the Yankees have had the luxury of being in a very weak divsion, that has allowed them to get away with weak pitching. With a pitching staff whose average age is around 38, the Yankees are at a point they can no longer obtain quick fixes.
