Comments on: Steinbrenner to Torre: Win or else http://yankees.lhblogs.com/2007/10/07/steinbrenner-to-torre-win-or-else/ A Yankees Blog by Journal News beat writer Peter Abraham Thu, 4 Dec 2008 03:29:46 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.6.3 By: Gregg M. http://yankees.lhblogs.com/2007/10/07/steinbrenner-to-torre-win-or-else/#comment-172390 Gregg M.

LOL.I'm from South Joisey and we don't have that papers circulation here. Regardless of where Mr. Steinbrenners comments were publically announced, I feel as though he is entitled to make his remarks as he sees fit. We will all recall last year about how Mr. Steinbrenner gave pause about bringing Joe back for the final year of his contract. Apparantly, with the '04 collapse and reaching the play-offs since 2000 with all of the early exits,I have to presume these are compelling arguments for Mr. Steinbrenner to release Joe Torre. I think Joe Torre has been a terrific manager for the greatest team in sports. I, myself wish that we would see Joe manage just one more year. But maybe familiarty, time and the recognition that a fresh breeze needs to blow through the " House that Ruth built " have conspired to move the Yankees forward to a new beginning. Joe Torres legacy will be enduring. He is the common man, uncommonly immortalized in Yankee history. It could be worse. We could be Red Sox fans. Thanks for all of the great memories , Joe.

It could be worse.

We could be Red Sox fans.

Thanks for all of the great memories , Joe.

This it what gave the team the spark for Torre to succeed in making the playoffs. Torre would have been content to wing it with Nieves, Proctor, Myers, and Phelps. Six years of no cigar just won't cut it. George wants at least one more championship before he leaves this world and he can't be faulted for that.
