There they go...

Once again the Yankees fall short, and there is much rejoicing...

It looks like Torre is going to be the fall guy this year. Which is completely absurd, given how managed to right a doomed ship this season. The Bombers' run after the All-Star break (43-43 before; 51-25 after) was near miraculous, and if they'd made it all the way to the Series, he'd be hands-down the AL Manager of the Year. (He still could be.)

Unfortunately, the guy the Yankees really need to unload is the one guy they can't get rid of.
