Torre clearly wants out. The way he criticised the Yanks effort, it came off as though he just wanted to end it now. I predict a steady progression as the losses pile up:
Next loss: "I failed to motivate this team, and we shouldn't have pinch hit Rivera for Sheffield with the bases loaded like that. Just a silly, silly move on my part."
Next loss: "I thought not posting a lineup might spur the team into a kind of 'make your own destiny' turnaround, but I failed, as with most things I've attempted lately."
Next loss: "We played good the first 3 innings, but I dozed off in the middle of the fourth so I'm not sure about our effort from that point forward. But hey, we've had worse losses this year, ya know??"
Next loss: "Well I'm running short on ideas, and I never had many to begin with..not that I needed them with this payroll and all..*chuckle*..Aaaanyway, I wanted a fresh look, so I put the pitching staff on the field and I've got the Sierra on the mound. I'm gonna have Jeter and Matsui warming in the bully though in case they bat around in the 1st inning. Can never be too prepared now, can you??"
