There is nothing I dislike about Joe . He is good for Baseball, good for the Yankees and good for the fans. If this is his swan song then so be it but he will always be remembered.

Well, I see this from another perspective, having one of those "hated teams" here in LA, the Lakers, we have grown pretty used to being deep in the hunt every year, and whether it's being selfish or what, anything less than a western conference championship feels like the team, owners, and coaches under-achieved. I know it sounds stupid, but it's something the fans have grown to expect. Whether it's right or fair, or what, doesn't matter, the fans pay to go see a team that's supposed to be champions. The Lakers, however, don't have near the payroll of the Yankees, so you compound the complaints here in LA times five and there you have the end result.

No answers yet.

Yankees put off meetings to decide Torre's future until next week

NEW YORK -- The New York Yankees put off their meetings on Joe Torre's future until next week.
The meetings are likely to start Monday night or Tuesday, and they probably will be held at the team's spring training complex in Tampa, Fla.
Torre will not be asked to attend the start of the session, when owner George Steinbrenner, his sons and top aides will discuss whether to bring the manager back for a 13th season -- which would be the longest run for a baseball manager in New York since Joe McCarthy was in the Yankees' dugout from 1931-46.

Per ESPN, Torre will be back in 2008, with an option for 2009.

Now that this story has received 10 times the attention that it deserved, baseball people can talk about the 3 teams that still have some baseball left in 2007. :wink2:

ESPN's front page says that, but the linked article says he turned down the offer. Hmm...
