Black Smoke Over Yankee Stadium Signals No New Manager

"King" George Steinbrenner is absolutely livid about the Yankees being in last place with only 150 more games to go while he is paying a whopping $200 million in salaries.
Someone needs to put a live webcam on the roof of Yankee Stadium so anxious fans and relatives of manager Joe Torre will see if any "white smoke" appears. Stay tuned, sports fans.

Are you sure the smoke isn't the sign of Steinbrenner cremating a manager? Shades of Billy Martin!

Being handled by a team (Orioles) which is routinely handled by the Devil Rays is quite the embarrassment.

The smoke is all coming out of Steinbrenner's ears, no doubt.

Torre would LOVE to get fired..He'd still be paid the $20 milllor so due him on his contract, and he'd be a hugle sympathetic figure in NY, and he wouldnt have to deal with idiots like Steinbrenner anymore..

Rigth the Yankees are in a real corner. Last place with only a fraction (150/162) of the season to go. We Yankee fans are DOOMED!

Use to mean something when we played Lou. Now it means we only have 3 teams to catch with 150 games to go. One more thing Lou, don't call me Babe.

Might be a good idea to fire Torre.
Stay with me for a minute: As you say, "Torre would be a sympathetic figure in NY", which may well be all of NY State.
Run him for Senator on the REPUBLICAN ticket.
ERGO: Guess who he would beat in 2006?
