That's all I'll say...that and if this Yankees team is going to make the playoffs OR rebuild, Joe Torre's not going to do it. His love affair with Mussina-Nieves, ignorance of Edwar Ramirez (letting him rot for two weeks) and a myriad of other non-decisions (regarding Damon, Farnsworth, etc.) call for an example to be made.
His head would at least show signs of wanting progress. It doesn't negate anything he's done for this franchise, but it does say that coasting, as he's done for a while, can't be tolerated even for the greatest.
Would canning him be a feel-good move that might not do anything? Sure, but losing to the Devil Rays' worst pitcher, which is saying something, says this team isn't going to do anything. Eight games back of Cleveland and Boston, a night like tonight is disheartening. And can anyone truly say this team will win a World Series with Torre at the helm?
But hey, the team is 6-2 since the break, and a weekend sweep would do well to restore confidence.
