SJ44,

I’m sorry, but the only difference between “disagreeing” and “bashing” is semantics. You certainly were vocal about some of Joe managerial decisions. We’re all fans here and we all did it it from time to time. But a call for a new voice is a call to be fired.

Some folks have gotten what they wished for. But Joe has been walked off the plank the only way Steinbrenner knows how,without class. I don’t understand what people thought was going to happen. There has never been a clean break in a Yankee managerial change since 1973.

SJ44: what do you think the chances are that George is going after Lou? Is it even possible?

“Incentives” isn’t the proper word. That money was really
bonuses”. Torre gets $1M if the Yanks make the postseason,
$1M if they make it to the A.L.C.S., and $1M if they make it to the World Series.

I’m sorry, the man has managed too many failed teams the past 7 teams to get a contract for more than one year. He got a 3-year $19M contract once. Why didn’t he turn that down on the grounds that that says he’s a bigger part of the winning that the players? The Yanks rewarded him with top dollar. $5M is still $1.5M > the next highest paid M.L.B. manager (Lou Pinella who is overpaid). You can’t accept reward for success then demand it for failure as well, that’s it.

B.t.w. why did Posada agree to a vested option for 2007?

Espn did a poll to see what the baseball community thought ,about the Yankees chances of making the playoffs next year. 55% said no way Yankees make postseason. Already
the vultures are out!

Angry? Disgusted? Devastated to see Torre go?

Yo, take comfort. You’re not as pissed or depressed as this Schweber guy.

You gotta read this: “The Little Men of the Bronx”

SJ44–

It’s amazing. The Mariners fired a whole coaching staff and here in New Jersey I didn’t know a thing about it. All Yankees all the time, I guess.

The Yankees are going to have work very quickly if they want to secure the people they want.
