NEW YORK CITY, NY
Sources tell us that Yankees owner George Steinbrenner has made the decision to fire Joe Torre as manager and hire Carmen Electra. When asked about the change in manager Steinbrenner replied "Sure she might blow a few but she won't choke on the big one."
Bye Bye Yankees !!!!!!!!!

Funny how the press/media were saying what an incredible job Torre has done this season...Now rumor has it he's on his way out. :?
On a side note...I always laugh when I read about how good a manager Torre is. He's never been to a world series with an average team though...
LET'S GO METS!

Managers do not...

Pitch, hit, run or field...Torre has done his job well and deserves to retire with the dignity he has always carried himself with.
I will always root against a team that spends 4 times the amount of money as the lowest payroll (Probably the A's) in the leaguye does - Including the Red Sox.
Likely, Piniella or someone else will be managing the Yankees next year. To know who will be there in some of the failures place, all you have to do is look at the list of Free Agents and choose thehighest priced athletes.
When is George going to realise that the dynasty they built in the 90's was a result of building a great team from within. That core won them 4 titles and a ton of Divisions the past 15-17 yrs. There are great Yankee Farm System players all over the League now.
I sincerely believ that to get well and build something decent, you have to experience some growing pains and be patient. New York fans will tolerate a few losing seasons to build a great team again. And BTW, George...New York actually does have a winner at least for right now.
Stop apologising for your expensive players performances. They are human and the pressure doesn't really translate into better performances and wins. Stop publically humiliating your players and class manager and invest into your system and occasionally ad a player to accent your needs. A roster fullof older veterens who have seen their best days and are spoiled by the wealth they have gained and likely not as hungry doesn't guarantee a championship.
Stop driving up the price of players salaries, so that mediocre players become Corporations unto themselves. you are ruining our National Pastime.
It is time baseball gets a Cap(Say 100M) and a floor(50M). Or we can just continue to root against the big money teams like the New Yorks, Los Angeles', and Bostons forever.

Wasn't the Marlins payroll only $15 mil? And they were in the hunt for the wild card for quite some time. When they played the Yankees I forgot the number of Yankees whose salary for the year was either equal to or greater than the Marlins payroll.

It's Obsene...

I hope a cap will be here soon. But in order to do so, a lot of restructuring is in order. Not an easy task.
