Who else would want to put up with the crap in NY but Joe Torre? Joe's the right man for the job. I'm glad George understands that instead of firing managers like he used to. The press starts all these rumors just for the buzz. Now quit with the ARod bashing and get some starting pitchers who can shut down somebody in the playoffs. I knew when the season started the Yankees could make the playoffs with the pitching they had. I had my doubts before the season began that they could get past the first two rounds of the playoffs. Problem is, where they going to get the pitcher they need? If a teams got one, they're unlikely to give him up.
