Re: Joe Torre out...
Good for Joe! If my boss anounced every year it might be my last, I would have left a long time ago.

Re: Joe Torre out...
Same here. Torre has accomplished a lot. Have heard two of Steinbrenner's sons may be taking a bigger hand in running operations, this is according to something on ESPN last week.
Whomever takes it has a position I don't envy, dealing with Steinbrenner.
BTW, what did y'all think of the recent ESPN miniseries "The Bronx is Burning?"

Re: Joe Torre out...
I watched his interview yesterday on ESPN and Joe did a wonderful job! He is one very classy man and the Yankees will be sorry they let him get away. I have to agree with one statement made by an ESPN analyst, that Joe's popularity over Steinbrenner played a role in this.

Re: Joe Torre out...
I dont see how he stayed as long as he did.That work enviroment cant be fun. The yankee owner,and the Dallas owner are two I dont think I would enjoy working for, although the " frog hides" would be nice.

If he doesn't retire,he'll probably wind up back in Hotlanta.

Do you think Bobby Cox is going anywhere??Not being a smart butt or anything like that. I figure Cox has a life time pass.

Thats where he came from. I figure some point in time Cox will move "inside the office". I dont really know for sure,I quit following them several years ago when they started jumbling the roster every year.

Same here, with the roster thing.

Re: Joe Torre out...
Way back when (I am not sure of any dates or the order in which this happened).........

-Bobby Cox was fired or left the Braves and went to Toronto as manager and helped build their World Series teams (he didnt manage any of them-left before they made the World Series)

-Joe Torre was the Braves manager and was eventually fired (or quit)

-Cox came back to Atlanta and was in the front office for a while then returned to manage when he was obviously the best choice they had

-I think Atlanta had several managers in between Cox. Joe Torre, Chuck Tanner, Russ Nixon
