Quite honestly, it’s starting to get pathetic now:
Yankees General Manager Brian Cashman left Legends Field around 4 p.m. today to fly back to New York. On his way out, he told reporters that no decision has been made about the future of Manager Joe Torre.
Cashman was headed to the airport in a cream-colored Cadillac Escalade with Lonn Trost, the team’s chief operating officer, and assistant general manager Jean Afterman when he stopped near the employee entrance to the Yankees complex to talk to reporters.
“We hold Joe Torre in the highest regard and obviously that’s why we are taking the time and this process is in place to decide what’s best moving forward,” Cashman said.
How long will that process take?
“As long as it takes, ” Cashman said. “As long as we have the Yankees’ interest at heart and what’s best for us as we move forward.”
Torre’s contract is up on Oct. 31. Should the Yankees decide to bring him back, Cashman said that there would have to be contract negotiations that could further extend the process, “if that’s a direction we choose to go.”
The Yankees have done something I didn’t think was possible.
They’ve become boring.
On the tedious meter, they’ve hit 11. It has now been nine days since the season ended and they still can’t make a decision about the manager. Pamela Anderson has had shorter marriages.
Heh

The Yankee’s lost to a better than expected Indians team led by Kenny Lofton and CC Sabbathia. While winning is always expected and certainly of the Yankee’s, give me a break, give Joe Torre a break. Has has delivered 4 rings to the Steinbrenner collection.
Joe, you’re too good a man to take verbal abuse from King George. Move-on, the change will do you good.
