    NEITHER. You will be banned from this board first for your boring posts.

    Tino and Torre lit a fire under the Yankees tonight, although they were winning 7-2 when it happened. Both were thrown out of the game. Supposedly ole George was going to have a meeting with Torre because he wanted him to become more aggressive like Billy Martin and yell at his players. Yelling at his players is not Torre's style. During the game the home plate ump asked the 1B ump if the batter went around. He obviously did. Tino argued and was thrown out of the game. I have never seen Tino thrown ouf a game. Torre came out of the dugout to support Tino. I have never see him so mad. Torre was gone. I guess this must be Torre's way to tell George he will yell for his team not at them.

    Boring posts? Hardly. Someone's head is going to roll in Yankeeland, and it won't be Torre. Tino and Torre lit a fire under the yankees, when they were up 7-2? Huh? Wouldn't they have been fired up by putting up 7 runs already? Dude you try to give tooooo much credit to your man-crush Tino.

    And it's ridiculous to think that a team of all-stars needs any sort of motivation, but the way the pitching staff has been going, and most batters not been performing, this is the case.

    It's also hillarious to think the yankees of $200 million+ payroll OUT of the playoffs!

    If my posts are so boring why do you respond oh spam boy?

    And I see 7 votes so far, with a 50/50 edge...i think both coaches saved their hineys for one more series...had this been a sweep by yet another small market, small payroll team heads would have rolled.

    Wow, I am impressed. I was not aware that there are such things as 1/2 votes.

    I thougth abotu that, but I doubt he'd lose his job mid year.

    But you never know with someone as irrational as queen george pulling triggers.

    What a way for Georgie to grab some press - fire his GM (even though he only has a couple months left on his deal). Georgie could blame him for all of these bad player signings, and come out looking like a hero to the lemmings in NY.

    Could happen!

    Ahh do you wanna talk about the Spaminator that way?

    But yeah, it would make a lot of sense. So many NY guys don't care that Cashman has been against some of the worse player signings the queen has pressed for...george makes a lot of bad, bad decisions against those who he has supposedly entrusted to run his team.

    His ego has outspent his team, and they will fall short of the world series (hell, probably the playoffs) for years.

    i hear ctsoxfan. Cashman is my choice.

    Otherwise, my favorites have once again emerged....

    Is this the sports forum version of a cheat thread?

    Axl Rose posts: The Yankees suck!
    Gems posts: No, the Yanks rule! You suck!
    Axl Rose posts: We shall see.
    Gems posts: We shall.
    Axel Rose posts: Alright
    Gems posts: Ok.

    Can you guys get over it already? Make-out and have steamy unprotected sex.

    I thought the baseball strike was still on. When did it end?

    Mark your comments are oh so witty and enlightening. Thanks for again bringing so much to the conversation.
  • ctsoxfanctsoxfan Posts: 6,246 ✭✭
    Update - while I still vote for Cashman, there is a lot of media swirling about Stottlemyre being the first to go. Stay tuned.

    I say Torre. The guy is a lump glued to the bench between Calamari dinners. Can his useless a$$ and let Stottlemeyer take the helm.

    Let's not overreact here. He did bring the Yanks how many world championships again? Suddenly his managerial style is the reason they are losing?

    And promote Stot? He's the one that should be gone...who was the last pitcher he's developed?

    Like firing anyone will change the fact that they have an old starting rotation, mediocre relief, suspect postion players in center, right and second base. The simple truth is that the credit card bill has come due. You can't blame Steiny from spending money over the years to buy players to win at the moment and in the process trading away minor league talent to acquire some of these folks.

    The yankee fans should start praying that the staff stays healthy, not likely given their ages and mileage and past history and that Boston and Baltimore falter. It doesn't look like any team out of the east will be a wild card unless teams in the Central and West really slip up and that does not appear likely as the bottom of those divisions are not strong teams at the moment so the leaders can load up on wins against them.
