ITT: Joe Torre has the last laugh
>> Anonymous
The Yankees offered him a deal that would have made him the highest paid manager in the Major Leagues.

He declined.

Why does everyone keep acting as they fired him?
>> Anonymous
Because everyone loves Joe Torre but hates the Steinbrenners

For only one year. I'm just glad it was Torre that made the choice, and not Steinbrenner.

soxfag here, the fucking Yankees completely disrespected Torre by threatening to fire him if the yankees didn't win the world series.

You don't know shit about fuck do you?

It was a one year contract. That was the highest in baseball. There were INCENTIVES for him to win the world series. They never fired Torre and never threatened to fire him. His contract would have expired and he would not have been resigned.

GEE
LOOK AT THE DATES OF THOSE ARTICLES.

Torre was NEVER FIRED.
The Yankees gave him a deal, a very expensive deal. He didn't take it, and went on a season long vacation in LA.

The deal the Yankees offered him was a spit in the face. A man with 12 concecutive playoff appearances should NEVER be offered incentives. Torre did exactly what anyone with any self-respect would have done: walk away. He doesn't need the money,
>> Anonymous
Torre made like $10 million the last year he was with the Yankees. By offering $7 million with incentives was basically saying that we think you suck Torre, but we can't fire you for PR reasons.
>> Anonymous
He went from one team everyone hates to another team everyone hates.

It's good to see him fail.

Soxfag here. The deal they offered Torre was bullshit. You're fucking blind if you don't see that. It was disrespect and a complete slap in the face. They knew they wanted to get rid of him, they just gave him a shitty deal, so he would reject it (like anyone who has self-respect would), and they could say "HURR WE OFFERED TORRE MONEY AN HE WALKED AWAY ALL ABOARD THE GIRARDI TRAIN"

holy fucking shit no one said he was fired

Steinbrenner basically threatened to fire him

lmfao @ people thinkin they offered torre a lucrative one year contract with incentives and an option so he could turn it down.

yeah... right... and if he accepts it.

then what?

they really suckered him, right?

give me a fuckin break. torre ran away to take an LA vacation in a weaksauce division.

you dont have to like your boss, you just have to do your fucking job.

its bullshit to say that someone- offering you $7M off the bat- is slapping you in the face.

boy... i really wish my boss- who i can't stand- offers me such a slap in the face.

fuck outta here.

torre, mattingly, and bowa tucked their tails and brought their pity party to LA.

Yes, but this doesn't change the fact that he was right. Besides, if Torre stuck around, the Yankees might have found themselves in a playoff spot right now.
>> Anonymous

But it's not the organizations fault that he left.
He didn't except the 7 million dollar contract he was offered.

I'm not so sure Torre would have been any more successful than Girardi. Jeter and Cano might have played a bit better, but Girardi managed the bullpen a whole lot better.

But Joe Torre doesn't work in the fast food industry, he's a baseball manager. And that's where 7 million starts looking crummy.

Hell no, are you retarded? As much as I hate the Yankees, I have respect for Joe Torre. The guy has done a fuckton. He deserved better than what he got.

2nd. And now, I don't feel bad rooting for him, because he's not playing for the wankees, and he's not in my team's league. Go Dodgers, for all I care.

That's an impressive samefagdar you've got there. But alas, it appears to be broken. Why don't you test it out in /b/? Meanwhile, you can reflect on the fact that /sp/ is not /b/, and that nobody in /sp/ gives a fuck enough to samefag. Dip.

Nobody else is reading this thread, faggot. I'm just correcting you so you know how wrong you are. Now if you don't have anything nominally related to the topic to add here, fuck off. I could care less if one kid here refused to acknowledge that he misidentified two people as one.

That's why it sucks agreeing with others on this site; sore-anus faggots like yourself who can't formulate any other sort of argument play the "samefag" card when shit isn't going their way. Now, like I said, go test your gizmo in /b/. You'll find the crowd there much more familiar.

this thread got derailed

we were talking about how joe torree is, despite being a dumb greaseball, has transformed the dodgers into the team with the worst record that limps into the playoffs.

thats right, he and his faggot team get to sit back and coast into the playoffs while the nl east and central have to battle for the wildcard spot.

enjoy getting swept in the first round dodgerfags
