To you MLB fans - Should Joe Torre be fired?

I read an article on MSN Sports and saw that the owner was saying that it would be highly unlikely that Joe Torre would continue to be the Yankees manager if they did not win the AL Championship and make it to the World Series. What do you guys think of this?

As a Red Sox fan I would hate to see this happen. Joe Torre looks like he is a really good manager, and in my opinion, he is as much a part of the Red Sox - Yankees rivalry as any of the players are, so I think it would suck to lose him as our rival manager.

Any thoughts?

EDIT: Yes, I know he might have it "easier" because of his team's huge payroll... but he did lead them to 4 World Series championships in his first 5 years as manager, so that must count for something.

He's just a scapegoat. It's not his fault some guys can't get hits, or the pitchers are giving up runs left and right.JML897

He's obviously not helping, but the Yankees have only scored what, 4 or 5 runs so far this series? Everyone should be blamed.

he chokes worse that Lebron during the post season

they really need to fire that Prima donna Gm they got...i remember listening to an interview with him on the SCORE and he made me Fin sickClinton015

You're not much of a Sox fan (see: bandwagon) if you dont want Torre to leave because he's a 'good manager'. Next...B05T0N

you wouldn't be happy having Joe Torre managing the Red Sox? Despite not winning the World Series this year they have made the postseason the last 12 years with him leading the way. That's success. 4 World series rings. The man knows how to win.

And calling someone a bandwagon hopper beacuse they respect an opposing a manager is ludicrous.

P.S. i'm a Red Sox fan. always have been, always will be.

What the Yankees need is some starting pitching. Thats their problem not Joe Torre.GreenmonsterBLS

exactly. i hope roger clemens gets kicked off the yankees

Then what did you mean by the bandwagon comment then?

And if your team didn't have a manager you would not want Joe Torre managing your team? Why not?

Say whatever you want, but I've liked the Red Sox ever since I was 10. I went to Fenway all the time, even though I lived in Canada. Thanks for jumping to conclusions though! Nice to meet you too!

He should have retired 2 years ago, but know he is just a shadow of his former self. Although I would enjoy seeing him get dropped from the line-up because he betrayed my beloved Astros:evil:.

He chokes more then a lot of women.

I really don't think it's his fault. The Yankees just seem to choke lately. Is it his fault if his overly-paid athletes cannot perform when it counts? I don't think so. I think Torre has done well with the Yankees, and yes, he has a huge budget to work with, but I just don't think he should be replaced based on his team's performance.

We'll see how this game ends up... right now it's the top of the 9th and the Yankees are leading 8 - 4. If Rivera cannot keep that lead then the Yankees don't deserve to win anyways :P.
