    Yankees Yanks' latest loss prompts tirade from Torre

    ST. LOUIS (AP) -- The New York Yankees' latest sloppy loss prompted a tirade from Joe Torre.

    Torre's first game in St. Louis since being fired as Cardinals manager a decade ago was far from a happy homecoming. The Cardinals began their second straight high-profile interleague series with a strong start from Jason Marquis and a big game from Albert Pujols in an 8-1 victory over the stumbling Yankees on Friday night.

    Torre, who had been hoping a 12-3 victory at Milwaukee on Wednesday would jump-start his team, held a closed-door meeting after the Yankees lost for the eighth time in 10 games on a season-high 12-game trip. He wouldn't discuss the subject matter with the media.

    Rest of Article

    Well, Torre is getting pissed off now. Expect something radical done soon if we don't start winning.

    Seems like this forum should create a Steinbrenner Apprentice elimination game.

    Torre should be fired? Come on you guys. Torre can't go on the mound and make our rotation make the pitch when they need to. He can't stand in the batter's box and hit for our lineup. He can only do so much. After that it's up to the team. You can't blame one man; it's a 5-man rotation, a 9-man lineup, a 25-man roster. The whole team is underacheiving together. Let's just see how this homestand goes before we go out on limbs like that.

    How many closed door meetings will we have this year? Any guesses?

    Torre needs to be fired or reassigned to a VP spot because he is the motivator. You can't say he doesn't have the tools.

    He hasn't missed the playoffs yet as Yankee skipper. 4 Championships and 6 pennants in 9 seasons. He's going to the Hall of Fame. With that success and credibility, he can do whatever the hell he wants this year, and if they miss the playoffs then we can talk, althought I still believe he's immune at that point.
