SHAME ON STEINBRENNER AND COMPANY!never mind the salary....to even bring up incentives after his 12 successful years at the helm is a slap in the face!

Barry-- It's not the organization we'll be rooting for, nor will any Yankee fan of recent years ever forget about Torre.We will be rooting for Hughes and Joba and Jeter and A-Rod. They belong to us fans; they gave us one heck of a ride this year. Most of all we will be rooting for the Bronx-not the concrete and the buildings that are there, but for a place and time when life was simple and safe for us kids, The Concourse was the queen and The Yankees were the king. LET'S GO YANKEES!

BARRY... I DO NOT ROOT FOR THE ORGANIZATION I ROOT FOR THE PLAYERS AND THE COACHES. YOU TALK ABOUT A LOW CLASS ORGANIZATION. HOW ABOUT YOUR DODGERS AND MR. O'MALLEY TO PICK UP IN 1957 AND LEAVE BKLYN. FOR SUNNY CALIFORNIA AND BIG $$$$$ THEY HAD SOME OF THE BEST FANS IN BASEBALL AND ALMOST EVERY GAME WAS A SELL OUT. SO DON'T TALK ABOUT THE YANKEE ORGANIZATION

I root for the Yankee ball players and New York. George Steinbrenner is just a money machine and a means to an end whom I despise. Have NEVER liked George but have always loved my Yankees. Win or lose they are in my heart. George's come and go but loyalty to a team for me stays forever!!!

Well, you guys know I'm not much of a baseball fan, but I do like to see the Yankees win. I too think Joe Torre got a bad deal, and since we are neighbors, if I happen to run into him this weekend, I will send him your regards. Hey, maybe he might want to become a member of the BCS!!!

as much as I am a METS fan, I think Joe Torre is such a classy guy. It will be interesting to see which players will not come back next season. I heard something about Posada leaving if Torre is not back. I am not sure legally what the players can or can't do. anyway, just wanted to say what I though about Joe Torre

Joe Torre has to be a classy guy -- He was a Met for years...
Not sure why I like Mattingly tho -- He's got to have "some" Met connection in him!!!

I think George purposely "offered" the deal that Torre turned down. Several Yankees said if "Joe Torre is fired" they were not coming back and they are, I think, free agents. Since Joe wasn't "fired" that gives these guys the opportunity to remain Yankees if they want and still look "good" to Joe Torre.
It's all about the money. Used to be your talent was enough if you had the right attitude. Now it is just....what can I buy with what I have!!! or .....what have you got for ME @!!!!!!

I like Joe Torre and he is a class act; but, millions of Americans get the same screwing by big corporations everyday. It's no longer what did you do for me yesterday; but, it's what can you do for me today. Fortunately, Torre doesn't have to worry calling unemployment on Monday to get his checks started. That's the problem today the masses accept everything that's thrown at them.

I can remember when the expression "Pride of the Yankees" meant something. Unfortunately, America's pastime (like everything else) has become Big Business where the almighty dollar is always the bottom line. Sadly, the fans will continue to flock the ballparks and pay for the $6.00 beers and $3.00 hot dogs to finance the outrageous salaries.

If you can get a $6.00 beer and $3.00 hot dog you got a huge bargain
