I still say they are as good and better next year with some fresh faces in there.

the yanks say they want a ring every year, which is pie in the sky.
the goal, i always felt, was to get to the postseason. he's done that more consistently than anyone i can think of--yet it's not enough. hey, lofty goals are great, but fantasy is far from reality.
i think after the tremendous run torre gave them that they could have done better by him.

i also think many thought favre was done, and that they needed to rebuild around a younger QB. certainly motivated brett, he's still good. i think the problem with guys like favre and torre is that they set the bar so high, they in turn fall short.

i don't think anyone could produce what torre has, his seasons with the yanks have been pretty damn good.
i just think it's laughable to think that RIGHT NOW, anyone could have done better, could have gotten the yanks to the post season this year, and could improve on it next year.

torre did it, pure speculation what that team would have done with another manager, but everyone knows what torre accomplished.
