The Will Joe Torre Get The Ax? Watch has come to an abrupt end. At a press conference at Yankee Stadium yesterday, Joe Torre announced that he would be back to manage the Yankees in 2007, the last year of his contract. Of course, a 12-20 start next season can change things quickly. Expect George Steinbrenner to keep his ax sharp and Lou Piniella in his speed dial.

Meanwhile, the A-Rod Suicide Watch is in full swing (pun intended). Booed relentlessly at the Stadium this year, and dropped to the 8th spot in the batting order for Game 4 of the ALDS, Rodriguez is no favorite of the fans nor the Yankee management. He is New York's current public enemy #1, and after a shitty season and even shittier post-season, fears abound that A-Rod made take his own life. If anyone has an A-Rod sighting—proof that he's still alive—please take a photo and post a link here. Thank you.
