Joe Torre and the Yankees

Owners are Hilarious (http://kissmesuzy.blogspot.com/2007/10/f-k-it-were-takin-tuesday-off.html)

They spend tons of money and pitch huge fits and just want their teams to win!

Crazy Owners - the three I'm featuring here don't own the team for money, they own the teams because their own athletic ability never gave them the championships they desire.

Today we're gonna talk about the King Asshole. The King Douche. The King of New York and the man who owns baseball and everything in it.

Since January 3rd, 1973 George has basically been in charge of the Yankees. During that time he has won 10 pennants and 6 World Series.... Not the Team, George has won them... With Money! He has never been personal in any relationships. If you don't cut it, you get cut. Billy Martin was fired 5 times by the fickle owner.

Eventually, it seemed that George was going to let the Yankees farm system and the team prosper and through the '90s only made one change in firing Buck Showalter for Joe Torre, a manager no one had faith in, but now after 4 World Series Victories is one of the highest paid and most respected managers in the leauge. George recently stated that Joe Torre is fired if the Yankees don't win the ALDS against the Indians which they didn't.

From 1996-2000 the Yankees won 4 World Series and seemed to be on the edge of starting a dynasty, but the past 7 years have left the Yankees fans and Owner Steinbrenner frustrated. For George it's World Series or nothing despite having 18 years of no championships in his tenure.

For Joe Torre, he should be allowed to stay as long as he wants as Manager. The Yankees had a historic season getting to the playoffs at all. There are no mistakes made in managing this team in the past 3 losses and 1 win. The biggest thing you could say is the Yankees lost to a team with superior pitching and that were swing the bats better.

But we don't talk about Baseball
