Default Will Joe Torre be fired?

Yankees have lost 8 of 9, including 5 of 6 to the Red Sox. Question is, will he be canned?

Isn't this kinda vague? Perhaps there should be a "by when" date: Tomorrow, immeadiatly, this week, etc...

I find it funny that the guy called "arbitrary" is pointing out the vagueness of the statement.

Coach a losing team.

I think the Yankee fans are grasping at straws trying to blame everything on Torre here. It's clear the team just isn't up to it. Maybe he's cost you a few runs for a grand total of a game or two, but even if God himself was your manager I still think you guys would be under .500. The problems run way deeper than the manager.

Just calling a spade a spade, even if it is too vague,

Ok; maybe its a blurry spade.

The problem is that Torre burns his pen in wins, leaving him a depleted pen in the games he needs them.

Torre is completely clueless. This team has gotten too complacent. We really needed Pinella, but Girardi would be the man.

Maybe Cashman can work a trade with the Cubs for Pinella at the dealine.
