Torre: Should he stay or should he go?

October 9, 2007 - 1:24 AM

NEW YORK -- It looks like it's all over for Joe Torre, even though his players support him almost unanimously and Yankees fans clearly showed late in Game Four that they feel the same way.

After the 6-4 loss to the Indians, Torre seemed resigned to his fate and even talked about the Yankees as "they".

I'm betting there's no turning back now and George Steinbrenner is firing Torre after a third-straight first round exit.

But what would you do? Try again with Torre or go in the direction of Joe Girardi/Don Mattingly/someone else?
