09/22: Where is Sweet Lou headed?
Yesterday it was
reported that the Tampa bay Devil Rays bought out the contract for
Lou Piniella.
This
story tries to figure out where he would be headed next year.
Anything less than a World Series appearance could spell the end for manager Joe Torre
I would think if Torre wants to come back next year he can. But I have doubts on Cash and Mel coming back. It would be curious to see if Joe would stick around if that was the case.
Chances are The Boss would splurge on Piniella, whose hiring would negate any public-relations fallout from the Yankees' parting with Torre.
It's hard to see that now seeing that the Yankees just overtook Boston for the lead in the AL East. We will see how the rest of the season plays out.

Quote of the year? Perhaps.
But, manager? I don't know.
