Default the trouble with NY



Went to the New York Times (see article below) and they already have
Torres fired, from hearsay of another paper. I know because it is NYC
you have to speculate about a manager move after the Detroit series, but
that is just the kind of pressure cooker environment that teams are
under in NYC. Especially the yankers.

Report: Joe Torre Expected to Be Fired

NEW YORK (AP) -- Yankees manager Joe Torre likely will be fired and
replaced by Lou Piniella following another early exit from the playoffs,
the New York Daily News reported Sunday.

According to sources the Daily News did not identify, Torre is expected
to be fired unless he resigns first -- or team officials can talk owner
George Steinbrenner out of making the move. <snip>

Look at the good side; that would get Piniella off of the Fox telecasts.

First I think Torre isn't leaving, but if he did, it would be the
brightside. Torres is the best manager for the yankers...in my mind,
Piniella...anyone would maybe win a world series, which Joe has, but he
would not keep the team at the top, like Torres has consistently!

If this is whats wrong with the entire city of NY, than that's not too
bad. But.... it's really a fair topic because he was almost fired last year,
and he's really getting to be too comatose on the bench when maybe they need
a kick in the rear end?

The pressure comes from the convicted felon Nazi bastard that thinks money
can buy love, an election and a championship. Well his money did buy love, I
LOVE IT!!

did you see how he changed his press release?

He added 'absolute' to "not acceptable"
"Sad" was already part of 'failure'

I am sure in his circles he is revered.

Sad Failure is a trickle down fact of life
