Torre Will Not Be Back With The Yankees

He was offered over $13,500 a day - every day - even on days he didn't do anything - for minding a bunch of guys hitting a ball with a stick - even if they didn't do a good job (or if he didn't do a good job), and he considers it an insult and a slap in the face.

Got it.

Good for him.

I was really sad today, I have to admit. When I saw him on the news crying I actually ended up shedding a few tears myself. He's the only manager I've ever known as a Yankees fan, and it's hard to see him go. But I don't blame him--they pretty much forced his hand. I hope Mattingly takes over, though. He said publically that he wasn't ready, though, so I'm not sure that would happen.
