Well in light of the Yankees collapse one has to believe that the boss will not react lightly. It's now going to be at least 4 years since the Yankees won the series and they didn't even get there in 2 of the last 3 years. This years club seriously lacked the pitching ace required to close the deal and that ultimately bit them big time in this series.

I think Joe Torre will not be back to manage the Yanks next year. He's done a great job, but I think he may be a bit too used to winning if there is such a thing, and might lack the required drive to keep them on top. I think he made a few questionable decisions in the series and that it could be time for a shakeup in the Bronx. IMO bringing in Vazquez over Loiaza after Loiaza had pitched pretty well in game 5 was a bit strange. Also the fact that he kept using Gordon despite his inablitly to get outs in the entire series could loom large. I also supspect GM Brian Cashman(?) might be done as well. I mean he's basically allowed to go out and aquire anyone so he really has no excuse for not having the pitching required.
