Now you're grasping at straws. George came out and said he'd think about firing the SOB if he lost again. lol.
Grasping? Why is it when I have defended the Yankees in the Payrod thing you put me in the catagory of others who live to take a shot at them? Then you go on about contracts bla bla bla.
My post wasn't about contracts.
It was about a manipulative statement Geiorge knew the press would have a field day with. How hard is that to understand?
Torre said on Letterman he turned the offer down because it was a 1-yr deal. He tried to negotiate with them but they didn't have any interest in doing so. Torre also said a 1-yr deal would be too much of a distraction to him and the team, which you have to agree with. Additionly, Torre said $5MM is a lot of glue! lol The money sure didn't seem to be a big of issue as what has been reported, imo.
