I think Joe more or less did that...he's a classy guy.

He seems like it....and you could be right.

How about this....they hope NIM-ROD opts out.....and then they can easily sign both Sabbathia and Santana.

Their pitching woes would get fixed in a hurry.

Joe Girardi? That's a slap in the face to Donnie Baseball. Don't those fools know Donnie is like a Chuck Norris Jr.?

He cured cancer and defeated terrorism at the same time.

Most likely the money they saved.....could go toward "A"-rod or the fellas in Tampa may give it to that "old man" Clemons....

shame on the Yankee brass!

now i see why so many enjoy rooting against the yankees. talk about badly handled, and made a crappy offer that was bound to be rejected.

Girardi is a bad fit. He couldn't get along with the bosses in Miami and he was against using a few of the many rookies that produced big in 2006. How's he going to do working for the people in NY.

Mattingly doesn't seem ready able or even willing.

They need a big name. LaRussa or Bobby Valentine is who they should go after.

What is wrong with basing a cut on Steinbrenner or whoever's thought that Torre wasn't doing a good job?

I know everyone loves Torre, but it's not a personal thing. It's business. Steinbrenner spends all of that money for a ring. I realize you cannot buy a ring, but sometimes you just need a change to light a fire in some guys. Personally I think Cashman should be gone too. He's made some awful moves.

Torre's a players manager and you'll be hard pressed to find someone who has a bad thing to say about him. But sometimes change is necessary. This was definitely one of those times.

torre, 3 rings, post season 12 years in a row.
20 years prior--NO rings.

who didn't think halfway thru this season that the yanks would miss the playoffs for the first time in over a decade? i doubt anyone honestly thought that they could pull things together, and get to the post season.
