There is no way Torre is leaving. If Torre leaves everyone will jump ship and the Yankee team will be decimated.

Personally there is NO WAY he should have to leave. The guy is a genius.

p.s GAGNE SUCKS!

we'll see

If Joe is coming back, then I think they will announce it during the World Series. That is the George way. He tries to overshaddow and take the spotlight away (especially if Boston ends up playing in the WS this year). And truth be told, if it were to be a Colorado vs. Cleveland then it would probably be a bigger story than the WS. It shouldn't be that way, because those are 2 very good teams, but the interest just wouldn't be there on a national scale.

I think Joe has to be invited back. This is not the year for George to pull his power trip. I think he will listen to Cashman when it is all said and done. If Joe goes, this team may be torn apart.

I heard someone make a point the other day talking about a scenerio (which would never happen) that would be perfect. A-Rod announces that he will not return if Joe isn't brought back. Of course A-Rod would never show that kind of character. He and Boras are more concerned with signing some insane new contract.

Did everyone see in the news today that George transferred day to day operations to his sons Hal and Hank? Wow.

already huh?
It was only a matter of time.

NCBRI-true! I forget how Boss likes to steal headlines. I was thinking more like if the Mets made headlines somehow, George would come in with his top stroy. We'll see.

watching eric gagne pitch makes me glad that ian kennedy and melky cabrera were not traded for him.

that's probably a big reason why cashman's job isn't on the line right now.

i can't blame epstein for the move though. there was no way of knowing it would turn out like this.

From Tom Verducci's " Five Cuts" on SI.com.

OK, you've probably heard too much already about those infamous sacrifice flies of Cleveland, the mighty midges that, unlike almost all AL hitters, knocked Yankees phenom Joba Chamberlain off his game. But this is too good not to pass on: When the bugs started swarming Chamberlain, a local insect expert in Cleveland telephoned the Indians with an urgent message -- those bugs are called midges, and whatever you do, do NOT use insect repellent; midges are attracted to the stuff. The Yankees practically bathed in bug spray; the more Chamberlain put on, the more the bugs swarmed him. So there you go. The Yankees can spend $190 million on payroll and still leave a blatant weakness: no, not their middle relief -- their lack of an entymology expert.

If you're a baseball fan, this guy is the best baseball writer in the country, and has been for a very long time. here's another cut on the midge situation, this one from last Thursday:

The Lake Erie midges provided the turning point of Cleveland's Division Series win over New York. Postseason games shouldn't be played in those conditions, but as long as this one was, the Indians showed greater resolve than the Yankees. In fact, the Indians, a source said, laughed when they watched Derek Jeter and Alex Rodriguez allow themselves to be blatantly distracted by the bugs. It gave Cleveland even more motivation to show they wouldn't be bothered by the infestation.

xavier mcdaniel · October 2007

even more reason for me to root for the rockies to win the whole thing.

Fighting Hellfish · October 2007

I've been reading a few Indians and Joe Borowski stories (mostly Verducci) and read that one of Borowski's many stops in his career was in the Bronx. I do not remember him being a Yankee at all. Looks like he pitched in 1 game in 1997 and 8 in 1998, throwing to a 6.52 ERA

“The meetings are adjourned for tonight. There have been no decisions made, nor will there be any comment today. The meetings will resume tomorrow.”

that's what the news is. the news that there is no news. jeez, you'd think this was like a peace summit or something...

I'm confused. Are you saying I'm crying? Or Tom Verducci? Or the Yankee players? Clarify please

what?
for crying out loud

it's a figure of speech. it means like 'give me a break' or something of that nature

Fighting Hellfish · October 2007

uh, ok. I guess that settles that. Anyway, as for the Jeter/Page 6 thing, check out what also appeared on Page 6 today:

As for us being "emasculated," Grigoriadis ignores that fact that half the Page Six staff is female. The male half might take her someplace private and disprove her theory, but we don't like a woman with a mustache.

http://www.nypost.com/seven/10162007/gossip/pagesix/emasculated__well_see_.htm

So the same people who supposedly heard from a "tipster" that an "onlooker" heard from a "source" that Jeter was with 2 girls also says they would gangrape some woman if they found her more attractive.

oh and here's an update about the Torre situation, they won't have a decision until tomorrow or Friday! I mean, what's to discuss for so long, either he stays or he goes? I thought Steinbrenner made his mind up? If I were him I'd just call it a day

Plus if A-Rod opts out the Yanks won't negotiate w/him!

this was pretty funny on the journal news blog, sounds like stuff i'd come up with...

This just in from Tampa … they’re still meeting. Supreme Court justices have been confirmed quicker than this.

My theory is they’re setting up all the promotional days for next season …

April 1: Carl Pavano Day (all fans get $8 million then go home).

May 3: Derek Jeter Free Parking Day.

June 22: Kei Igawa Half-Price Tickets Day (Scranton only).

June 4: A-Rod Giant Piggybank giveaway.

June 22: All fans named “Melky” get in free.

Aug. 1: LoHud Yankees blog readers free beer night.

Aug. 22: John Sterling and Suzyn Waldman Bobbleheads to the first 10,000 fans in blue blazers or with Massachusetts accents.

Sept. 9: Roger Clemens Tough All Day Day (held in conjunction with his first start of the season).

Sept. 15: Diane Lane, Lucy Liu and Beyonce get to sit in the press box for free.

Sept. 30: Fan Appreciation Day. All fans get free team cap and Kyle Farnsworth is released before the playoffs start.
