But even as a life long Red Sox fan born and brought up in Boston I have always had respect for Torre. One of the best managers to step between the lines in my life time. It's kinda like Jeter ......I hate the bastard but you have to respect the talent. Joe should walk before Big Stein does the Green Mile thing with him. Torre has always been class....I mean how many players have you seen win a batting title as a third baseman and then calmly pick up the catchers gear and step behind the plate as competently as they come. And then the guy just makes the payoffs the last 12 years in a row. Joe gets a pass from me.

I love to see the Yankee demise as much as the next, especially in light of the Yanks fans (you know the ones with the false sense of entitlement) roaring about the Mets collapse and the alleged always impending Red Sox collapse.

But, as much as I hate them, I like Joe Torre. He's a classy guy, and has had quite a run. It's kind of sad to see him treated as such the last few days, he deserves a better ending.

Oh quit it with the nice guy comments. Nice guys get fired everyday.

The guy is getting 7 million dollars a year for what? I have no sympathy whatsoever. Let him cry while rolling around in his pile of money in the bank vault. Boo hoo.
