Now THAT'S a good laugh...

Yeah, I guess it is when you live in Pittsburgh. I mean, it's common knowledge that the Pirates ALWAYS lose.

Let's see, I also predicted that Joe would be gone by the All Star break. Pretty close on Johnson and Mussina. Brown lasted longer than I thought and Pavano didn't. Let's check back in a month.

Yay!! Top of the sixth and they're winning 5-2, runners on 1st and 3rd!!

Enjoy Babe! I flew back to texas today unfortuately and won't be able to see the Yanks unless they're on Fox or ESPN

Well, bottom of the 7th and they're now tied 5-5, with only one out! And a runner on 3rd! WTF????

SB?, SB?....are you OK? Nice pitching by Canyon Hurtz and Aaron Very Small.

The Yankees get my vote for worst bullpen in baseball.

Poor Aaron. He's been doing so well up until last night.

It was awful. I can't believe how they threw the last two games away!! Grrrrr...

Yankee fans:

Did you ever, either in your wildest dreams or worst nightmares, think that the Yankees would be Tampa Bay's 'bitch' all season long? I have no rooting interest whatsoever, but it's a classic sports case of David slewing Goliath. I know it happens in every sport, but this is comical. If this was the NFL, it would be like the Bengals or Browns having their way with New England for the past 4 years, or in the NBA having Atlanta constantly beat the Spurs.

Dear, Mr. Steinbrenner,

Don't be an asshole. The Yankees fanbase will riot in the streets and have your head if you fire Joe Torre.

Of course you always need scapegoats whenever the Yankees are not exactly playing up to expectations, but you always blame everyone but yourself.

Torre won you 4 World Series titles, and now its rumored that you want to fire Joe Torre for the team's less-than-expected success.

Really George, piss off dude.

Sincerely,

RRA

P.S. - Whoever does your hair and makeup needs to be traded away to the Kansas City Royals. :p

I haven't read it yet, but the radio is reporting a Mike Lupica (NY sports writer)story that talks of Joe going at the end of the year if they don't make the playoff. :rolleyes:

How about Cashman for buying geriatric pitchers?

Getting rid of Joe Torre would be a HUGE mistake. I think that the team would probably riot, as they are very close to Joe. He is extremely supportive of his players (look how he stuck up for Giambi when everybody said that the Yankees should dump him), and I would imagine that the opposite is true as well.

Again, not being a Yanks fan like many of you on this thread, I need some help. If Georgie stupidly fires Torre, which I agree would be a colossal screw-up, would Torre have been the longest tenured manager that George has had? I think Joe has been there since 1995 or 96, so that's about 10 years. Given the state of team from 1978-95, I would say Joe has been there the longest in George's time as owner.

Billy Martin's gotta be having a good chuckle out of this somewhere.

If they fire Torre, I'm going to eat my Yankees cap ala Gary Cooper in "Pride of the Yankees."

It's not Torre's fault...he's one of the all-time winningest Yankee coaches, and has lead them to the World Series 4 times, and the playoffs countless times more.

Cashman should be the one to go - he has signed pitchers that (clearly) other teams knew were about ready to bust, and has not addressed the center field issues.

Personally, the way things are going, we could've just stuck another scrub pitcher in Randy Johnson's spot. At this point, I would've rather taken Beltran.

Torre is 10 for 10 in playoff appearances with, if I'm not mistaken, six World Series appearances and four WS wins.

He's on the first year of a three year contract, and (according to Mike and the Mad Dog) would have $14 million coming to him if he's fired.

$14 million? I could be comfortable on that.

They just took a 3-1 lead against CHW in the 5th, in spite of the fact that Jeter was called out at first when he was quite obviously safe - AGAIN!!

Really, if it was any other owner, we wouldn't be talking about an owner canning Torre.

But this is THE BOSS, and from what I see, I bet you that many of us probably think that ya, Steinbrenner is capable of pulling off such a costly and stupid mistake.

Really, why can't Cashman get fired instead?

Tonight, the Yankees won against Chicago, who have not won a World Series since 1917. They haven't won a pennant since th 1950's. And Yankee fans are pissy because we haven't WON a series since 2000. We can't win every year!!

And guess what? The White Sox won't win it this year, either. :p

The Yankees win! Chacon did another amazing job.

Man Chacon was a great pick up! 2 in a row now, with the Unit looking for the sweep

Not so fast boys. Ol' Man Johnson helped CHiSox into the record book. 4 homeruns in one inning. Homer, Homer, Homer, single, single, Homer. Pathetic. Send him back to ....wherever and take Brian Old-Age-Home Cashman with him. Some asshole will say Joe Torre is to blame. :rolleyes:

Yeah I agree. It's not Joe's fault and I don't understand why people continue to say that! I don't think I'll ever understand how the media portrays managers. Back in 2001 Bob Brenly was hailed a hero for winning the world series when he WASN'T a hero! Last year Terry F. was hailed a hero in Boston when he also WASN'T (let's not forget they were 3 outs away from being swept, come back or no come back). And now Joe Torre is hailed as a loser when he ISN'T for his team's performance. Sorry to get sidetracked but I'm tired of all this crap about managers. As for the game, I don't know what the f*ck is up with Unit but this guy has been a BIG disappointment. He's the one that wanted to come to New York so badly. He's the won who wanted to win another World Series with the Yankees. He's the one who wanted to win his 300th game as a Yankee and what has he done!? He's got like an 11-7 or 11-8 record (not to mention that now the Yanks are 0-2 against Contreras which I figured they would). You have a guy who does sh*t for you and when you trade him he winds up burning you!

Mmm. Let's trade him to Boston. I mean, Embree is sabotaging us, I wonder if we could do the same to them. :p

Yes, another solid outing for Jaret Wright! He went 7 innings only giving up 4 hits I believe with no runs. He's 4-2 now and his ERA is down to 6.00 (which isn't great but his first 2 starts have been a LOT better than I thought they might be)

All I see is a bunch of self-stroking... and no action! You wusses gonna show your shit in fantasy baseball, or just sit there showing each other your........ shit?

:p

Watch it buddy, that kind a talk can get you thrown outta here faster than a Billy Martin dirt-kickin' incident. :p

Another win for the Yanks and they are now your AL Wild Card leader

Bottom of the 9th, A-Rod up, winning run at 2nd. WHIFFFFF. Has that guy had a clutch-game-winning hit this year?(He didn't last year). He's got great stats, but....something is missing. Meanwhile Matsui always seems to come up big.

Clutch-winning hits? Hell, I can forgive A-Rod for his superb season stats. :rolleyes:
