Joe Torre to be fired?

Well, ole blowhard George Steinbrenner is at it again. The New York daily news has reported that the Yankees are going to fire Torre and replace him with Lou Pinella, Which I think would be a big mistake. I know it's been 5 years since the Yankees have won the series, but Joe Torre is one of the ebst managers I've ever seen. With all the monstrous ego's in that locker room, how he manages to control that and still win is beyond me. This is hard for me being a Red Sox fan, but I dont want him to go.

Joe Torre will return for his 12th and final season as Yankees manager.

The guy deserves better than what that asshole Steinbrenner feeds him.

so it's official?, joe is staying?~ tho ya'll know i AM NOT a yankee fan by any means, i'm glad they aren't letting him go, i mean he had a great career w/ the yankess & to just let him go like that is shady~ tho said steinbrenner isn't all that smart~ i think seinfeld had him portrayed right on the money~

Yes, Joe is staying, but the Boss issued this statement:

"I spoke to Joe Torre today and I told him, 'You're back for the year. I expect a great deal from you and the entire team. I have high expectations and I want to see enthusiasm, a fighting spirit and a team that works together. The responsibility is yours, Joe, and all of the Yankees.' Yes, I am deeply disappointed about our loss this year, we have to do better. And I deeply want a championship. It's about time."

That seems to be reasonable.
