Cleveland HAD to win last night. They threw their ace. Granted Wang is 'up there' but quite frankly his 19-7 record is a bit misleading. He's had huge run support. I think Pettitte is our ace. Tonight against Carmona should be the test.

I'm scared sihtless about Clemens starting. I'm not a fan of his, I think he bleeds Red Sux blood the way Glavine bleeds Braves blood. Hope I'm wrong.

In my book A-Rod gets a pass for at least a game. His season was stellar. The bombers wouldn't be in the post season if not for him carrying the team for April and May (not to mention the rest of the season). Besides, even if he hit 4 HR's last night, they would have lost 12-8 (he only left one runner on base). Tough to carry a team when you get a total of four hits. Doing it solo last night wouldn't have done it for them.

Yes, Pettitte can and has been known to leave them 'up there'. But he's a big game pitcher. I want him on the mound tonight.

I'm not worry about Clemens, he did got 2 rings with Yanks. i just think torre gave up when it's 6-3. IT'S STILL EARLY and sabathia is out!! torre mis-manage the game. if we don't get pass the indians, he is not coming back

Between Clemens and Moose, our 4 man rotation has holes in #'s 3 & 4. I am a die hard fan, but I'm a realist. Those two guys are the weak link. And after losing last night, this series is not going to be easy. I know they can win, but not without sweating it out.

The bats MUST come alive........

Lets Go Yankees!!!!!

I don't think Torre is coming back if the Yankees get swept on Sunday.

I think for the first time in MR history, I agree with Crox - I say let him leave and his ring opportunities will slide dramatically - he has to will it to happen and going o-for is not an option at that level.

I think Torre won't get fired even if Yankees get swept because Torre earned it this year. But the very interesting question will be Arod. What if Yankees got swept, and Arod still didn't hit anything. Is Arod really deserve $30+ million per year? Is Yankees going to pay?

I guess I am wrong about Torre earned his position even if he lose this series,

As the Yankees stand on the brink of elimination in the first round of the playoffs for the third season in a row, owner George Steinbrenner says longtime manager Joe Torre needs his team to advance to the ALCS if he wants to keep managing the club.
"His job is on the line," Steinbrenner told The Bergen Record. "I think we're paying him a lot of money. He's the highest-paid manager in baseball, so I don't think we'd take him back if we don't win this series."

Torre makes $7 million a season and is in the final year of his contract.

The Cleveland Indians lead the Yankees 2-0 in their American League Division Series.

In Sunday's Game 3 at Yankee Stadium, Roger Clemens will take the mound for New York while Jake Westbrook will start for Cleveland.

During his 12 years leading the Yankees, Torre has taken the Bronx Bombers to 12 consecutive playoff appearances and four World Series titles.

"He's been good for us over the years," Steinbrenner acknowledged to the paper.

Steinbrenner also had some choice words about retiring veteran umpire Bruce Froemming and his decision to play through the late-game bug infestation during Friday's Game 2 extra-inning victory for the Indians.



"The umpire was full of [expletive]," Steinbrenner told the paper. "He won't umpire our games anymore."


The wide-ranging interview with The Bergen Record also touched on Alex Rodriguez's future and Steinbrenner's health.


"I think we'll re-sign him," Steinbrenner said of A-Rod. "I think he's going to have a good run the rest of the [postseason]. I think he realizes New York is the place to be, the place to play. A lot of this [postseason] is laying on his shoulders, you know, but I think he's up to it."


The 77-year-old owner, who told the paper he maintains full control over the Yankees, downplayed reports of his ill health.

"I'm doing all right," he told The Record. "I'm fine."
