It's the second full day of the Will Joe Torre Get The Ax? Watch. After a stunning defeat in four games to the Detroit Tigers in the ALDS, Yankees owner George Steinbrenner is reportedly ready to fire his long-time manager. I'm sure George is sharpening the ax right now, as he tries to speed dial Lou Piniella with the other hand. The ax will fall, the only question is when. Maybe when the Mets win the pennant, to steal some of their back page thunder?


We're also concluding the second full day of the ARod Suicide Watch. His post-season numbers have been atrocious for two straight years. His regular season was half-assed. The fans hate him and want to run him out of town. His teammates hate him and want to run him out of town. The Yankee brass hate him and want to run him out of town. Will he take the hint and accept a trade? There are rumors Yankee GM Brian Cashman removed ARod's belts and shoelaces from his locker, for his own protection—and to preserve his trade value.

Stay tuned.
