roqnap1 Posted October 18, 2007 Share Posted October 18, 2007 12 seasons as manager. 12 playoff appearances. 6 World Series appearances. 4 Championships. Yup....that's a decision that should be pined over for 10 days and then they offer him a PAY CUT!?! Good for Torre. What an insult. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buddy Dude Posted October 18, 2007 Share Posted October 18, 2007 Jeez you're dumb. We don't have old pitching - but we have A LOT of young pitching. We are going to start a killer rotation next year including 4 guys under 25. Wang, Chamberlain, Kennedy, and Hughes. And Mattingly has ties to the organization. Next time come stronger or don't come at all. That confirms it, you are as dumb as steinbrenner. i didnt say you had old pitching. besides, it doesnt matter, your pitching sucks. having a young rotation doesnt mean **** when you have a ****ty coach or an unexperienced teacher for them.having ties is something only the yankers think means something. how does having ties make you win? it doesn't come with a brain or dont come at all.

nyskinsfan56 Posted October 19, 2007 Share Posted October 19, 2007 Hell yeah....another vote for Girardi. I think Mattingly would make a good coach someday, but just too close of a tie to the Yankees that would put the brass in a very awkward position if things didn't go well.

Dan T. Posted October 19, 2007 Share Posted October 19, 2007 I'm a casual observer, but it seems to me that Joe Torre had too much class and dignity to work for the Steinbrenners. He'll get other offers in 10 minutes if he wants them. Other teams will fall over themselves to hire him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buddy Dude Posted October 19, 2007 Share Posted October 19, 2007 You don't follow baseball do you?Yes, but I'm a very deeply engrained Yankee hater, so you have to forgive me sometimes. I just don't see how you can say they have a killer rotation, when none of them outside of Wang has even begun to do anything yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rincewind Posted October 19, 2007 Share Posted October 19, 2007 Yes, but I'm a very deeply engrained Yankee hater, so you have to forgive me sometimes. I just don't see how you can say they have a killer rotation, when none of them outside of Wang has even begun to do anything yet. They have shown MASSIVE potential. The reason they don't have big numbers in terms of wins and Ks is becuase only Wang was in the starting rotation for more than half the season - and he is a ground ball pitcher. I am VERY excited about the prospects of this rotations. Oh, and Chamberlain only allowed 1 earned run in about 30 innings of work. Like I said - I wouldn't mind Mazzone as a pitching coach. I just don't want him as a manager. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seabee1973 Posted October 19, 2007 Share Posted October 19, 2007 This was clearly an offer that the Yankees made expecting Torre to turn it down. 2 million less in base salary, with bonuses each playoff series you win? It's a subtle (maybe not so much) slap in his face. But, it gets rid of him without the Yanks having to fire him..... wasnt his contract up? if so I doubt he really could have been fired Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember a Nebraska running back having potential a while back, and can't remember his name now, Lawrence or some ****. 1 ER in 30 IP isn't impressive when you pitch 1 - 2 innings at a time. And PG, your comments are ridiculous. I'm a Braves fan. Why be jealous of your team that cant win **** for 7 years, when my own team only won once in 14 years of division titles?

Why be jealous of your team that cant win **** for 7 years, when my own team only won once in 14 years of division titles? I know. You aren't jealous. You just fear them though. And that is the truth. Why else would someone who is a fan of the Braves have so much hate for the Yankees? They have nothing to do with the Braves. "I feel that 'man-hating' is an honorable and viable political act, that the oppressed have a right to class-hatred against the class that is oppressing them." It is ok.. you can hate the Yankees because they are the pinnacle of greatness and your Braves will always be number 2 (at best) so long as the Yanks are in business. "Let them hate, so long as they fear." Long live the Evil Empire. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
