i read some things in todays paper about torre.

the yanks hadn't won the world series in nearly two decades, had been to the playoffs only ONCE in 14 seasons, and then torre was hired.

with him:

four world championships
10 division titles
into the postseason 12 consecutive years

where were the yanks just a couple months ago? and just how much did they improve to make it to post season this year? yet torre will lose his job? amazing.

i'm not a ball fan, not a yanks fan, but i don't mind getting involved in this particular discussion, as i think steinbrenners attitude towards a dammed good manager is a disgrace.

Dannie....geez you can be a doorknob when you want to.

What is a BB manager supposed to do? Manage...right?



He managed well when he won the WS things...he got rewarded for that.

Now he hasn't managed so well...for a while.

So he may well get canned...it's the Yankees..they expect a lot more so they pay a lot more.



Are you with me?

four world series' in fourteen years, and playoffs for how many years running, and it's not enough? setting the bar pretty high there imo.

Dannie...you're beginning to upset me.

I said before every YankeeSwine knows coming in they are expected to win the ws every year...and are even more overpaid than othe MLB players are.


Torree has not won a ws for too long for them....not even gotten to the alcs for too many years running.


Any bb manager has a short life expectancy....whether you deserve it or not you get accolades for winning and the boot for losing.





Do you REALLY think the guy is getting 7 million a year and furnished with a player payroll of over 200 million a year to keep bowing out in the division round??

Dannie just got a good ,strong taste of the long knuckle.







She knows there's more waiting for her where that came from.
