I was thinking the same thing. I would not be shocked to see a press conference on ESPN news tomorrow.

He should be fired, but due to his contract situation it appears unlikely that he will be canned.

As a long time yankee fan i have to say that torre is very overrated. yes he won 4 titles, but he was an absolute nothing before that. He coached for years and never won a thing before he took over a yankee team that was created by gene michael and buck showalter.

he should be given every credit for his 4 titles, but he hasnt won a title in a few years (for a team with this payroll that is a long time) and he was at the healm of a team that had a historic collapse. This team is now floundering and he is doing nothing to turn them around.

The yankees need lou pinella, this may sound crazy but the yankees would win the world series this year if he took over tomorrow. This team is lacking the heart that only big lou could bring. They are lifeless under torre and torre needs to go.

The old cranky Steinbrenner finally spoke up yesterday:

Torre will be fired if they lose:

"His job is on the line," the Yankees' owner said in a phone interview. "I think we're paying him a lot of money. He's the highest-paid manager in baseball, so I don't think we'd take him back if we don't win this series."

Torre had said, "We certainly need to find out what we're made of. ..."

"I think that's a good statement," Steinbrenner said. "They'd better show what they're made of."

On the game Friday:

"The umpire was full of [expletive]," Steinbrenner said of the retiring Froemming. "He won't umpire our games anymore."

"I have full control," Steinbrenner said. The owner maintained that rumors of his declining health were false.
