Report: Torre won't survive Yanks' collapse, to be fired
Edited on Sun Oct-08-06 01:56 AM by Reverend_Smitty
Heads were likely to roll after the Yankees were eliminated from the postseason by the Tigers, but the opening odds were on Alex Rodriguez going first, not Joe Torre.

According to the New York Daily News, however, the popular Yankees manager will be fired unless he decides to resign first to save face. Sources told the newspaper that former Yankees player and manager Lou Piniella will be owner George Steinbrenner's choice to replace Torre.

1. I've been surprised the last few years when the Boss kept Torre
I'd admire George's loyalty but he wants to win more so I won't be surprised to see Torre resign before the need for George to fire him.
