Steinbrenner at it again: Torre likely to be fired if team doesn't reach ALCS

[Roscoe Chill]

I heard on the radio today that Torre is not ready to retire. So....let the speculation begin!

I guess if you see him replace Rock in the booth, you know what's up.

This hot theory just in from where my brain is supposed to be located -

 

ManagerSwap08... LaRussa to the Bronx, Torre back to his old stomping grounds in St. Louie...

Dear Mr Torre-

 

Milwaukee has missed you since your days with the Braves, please return to manage the Brewers in 2008.

 

Sincerely,

 

All of Us

"By my estimates, Mark Attanasio and his partners will have an operating profit of between $50 million and $80 million this year with the Milwaukee Brewers. If Attanasio is serious about finally making the Brewers a winner, there's a good way to spend about $10 million of the windfall profits..."

Mark Belling on baseball... couldn't be more disinterested - no offense, gypcasino. Spend $10 mil. on a manager? Not even in a huge market.

Ummm, Attanasio bought the Brewers with the intent of "flipping" them?

Yea, next week on TLC there is gonna be a special edition of Flip that House, featuring Mark and the Brewers... Flip that Franchise! Were his investments worth it? Will he see return on his dollar? Tune in at 9/8c on Saturday to find out!

Attansio will flip the Brewers. Likely in about 5-7 years when talk of a new stadium starts up.

 

That said $50-80 million was pulled out of Belling's brain that doubles as a seat cushion.

[Invader3K]

Yeah...based on the fact that he said when he bought the Brewers that he forsaw he and his family owning the franchise "For the next 20 years or beyond." Clearly he's poised to sell the team for a quick buck in the next year or two.
