Torre, GONE

[rented mule]

Bad news. They are going to hire Pinella and not Girardi.

I think that's a colossal mistake for the Yankees. They may fear that his style wouldn't work with the personnel they have in that clubhouse.

You have to be kidding me about trading Francona for Torre...Torre has done a good job controlling the egos of the players, but it's not hard to have a winning record with the lineup and amount of money the Yanks spend. Torre was horrible with the Mets, slightly below 500 (498) with the Cards, and 28 gaems above 500 with Atlanta...in essence, a below average manager...the payroll made Torre a good manager, not his skills. He was out coached by Leyland in the series and the better manager won!

Disagree-For his full tenure Torre in my book gets a Grade A and Francona C+ at best.
The problem is not Torre;its that there are simply too many superstars assembled under one roof;Yanks had a better, more cohesive type of team when they won those WS in the 90's and 2000.
Much of blame lies with front office and Steinbrenner if you want to lay blame.
If you want to use your logic, what manager did better this year with the injuries-Torre or Francona?
Francona has no baseball savvy whatsoever;believe me if Torre had been manager, Sox would not have collapsed during August when the Varitek and others went down.

Give Torre the Ax and take Lou?? Are u fucking serious?? IF they do this then it will be one of the worst mistakes the Yankee Orginazation EVER!! I would prefer Torre to stay if not him them Girardi... Give fucking ARod and his no playoff hitting ass the axe and keep torre and give us some pitching and we will be on the right track.. Giving Torre the axe will be a step in the WRONG direction IMHO..

Don't they try to add a superstar pitcher every year and doesn't a make difference? They either get hurt, too old or don't produce to expectations?

Yanks will sink further win Pinella;I didn't see him doing anything spectacular with Seattle or TB;whats he ever won?

Dont get me wrong... I respect the hell out of Torre but he seemed to have lost the fire... They need somebody to light a fire under these underacheivers asses and make them grow a sack... Sweet Lou would be a logical choice but i'm hoping if this does happen, Girardi will come back

How much fire would you have if you worked for the ass hole that owns the yanks........

He dictates, threatens, trys to buy people off......

TORRE is, and always will be a good mgr for someone in Baseball............

Steinbrenner could have Lou Gehrings Spirit in here as mgr., and he'd be telling him what to do............kapt
