Torre says he is staying with Yankees

ASSOCIATED PRESS

Quote:
Joe Torre will remain as manager of the New York Yankees, finally getting the word from owner George Steinbrenner after the team's surprise elimination from the playoffs last weekend.

Torre spoke with Steinbrenner on the telephone Tuesday, shortly before he walked into the interview room at Yankee Stadium and made the announcement.
"He gave me his support," Torre said. "I'm just pleased I'm able to stay on and do this."
The two also spoke on Monday.

"I talked to George yesterday for probably 15, 20 minutes, and we discussed a lot of things: the team, what we do from here and things like that," Torre said.
With 1,973 regular-season wins, Torre is 10th on the career list and third among active managers behind Tony La Russa of the St. Louis Cardinals (2,297) and Bobby Cox (2,171) of the Atlanta Braves. Torre has the longest uninterrupted term for a Yankees manager since Casey Stengel held the job for 12 years from 1949-60. Under Torre, the Yankees have gone 1,079-699. He trails only Joe McCarthy (1,460) and Stengel (1,149) for victories among Yankees managers.

He should stay - it wasn't his fault. His team couldn't have hit a friggin' slow-pitch softball in that series.
If they hadn't reached the playoffs, different story.

No, I'm glad they brought Torre back. He's one of the few Yankees I don't want to stab in the throat.

This is the only reason why he's back. Public perception goes a long way. Frankly, with the talent he has he should have won 1-2 more World Series. Steinbrenner is getting soft.

He is a good guy. Who can blame him for this series, you had a bunch of veterans stink up the joint.

The whole team is like a All star game roster, look at all of their appearances.

The Boss is getting soft, but that comes with age also, he's 75.
Before he was in total control but now he listens to his advisors.
Word has that he made it be known that Torre is out but was talked out of it.

How can anyone blame Torre for A-Rod going 1 for 14, Sheff 1 for 12, Giambi 1 for 8 (he asked to be taken out of the last game), Cano 2 for 15.

Do you know who had the most hits? Jeter and Posada, holdovers from the last championship teams.

min0 killed him...

That's just wrong.

Both the humor, and the fact that Min0 killed the guy.



Seriously though, that's terrible news. Dude was my age.

OK, I'll apologize for Min0's insatiable thirst for blood.

Okay, I want to be clear on this, min0: I don't work for the Yankees.

T.O. would have survived that.

It's sad to see someone go soon, I was a the store when I saw the news...I couldn't believe my eyes when I read "plane hits building on E72 street"
For a moment I thought terrorist. This wasn't too far from P-funks old apartment.

Of course Torre was going to get asked back. Only one of the best managers in the MLB. But have to say, with all the talk and the old boss not calling to ease his sleepless nights I would have told him to stick it in his ass. Its not like Torre wouldnt have gotten on somewhere else!
