As the Joe Torre Death Watch carries on into day two, we all still await the judgement from Mount Olympus as George Steinbrenner tries to decide what he's going to do. Will he fire Joe Torre and effectively end an era in New York, or will he keep one of the greatest managers in Yankees history?I don't know, and neither does Joe Torre. If Torre does find himself out of a job soon, at least he can take comfort in the fact he's going to have plenty of options when it comes to finding a new job. And I'm not just talking as a manager. No, I'm thinking more of a secretary type role. Say, Secretary of Transportation or something like that.
It could happen if Rudy Giuliani has his way. From the always reliable New York Post and Page Six comes this:
COULD Joe Torre be going from the House that Ruth Built to the White House if he's ousted by George Steinbrenner? Maybe, if Rudy Giuliani gets elected. In his new book, "The Undecided Voter's Guide to the Next President," Time magazine editor-at-large Mark Halperin asked the leading presidential candidates whom they'd put in their Cabinet. Most refused, except for Giuliani, who gave one name: Torre.It's nice to know that Giuliani is taking the possibility of being our country's president seriously. Maybe he can nab Jeter as his Vice President and get Tiki Barber to be his press secretary.

First of all Mr. Steinbrenner needs to very carefully evaluate his options prior to even thinking of firing Joe. Not only is Joe the man who reminded New Yorkers and the World that the Yankees are legends, but he is a Brooklyn boy with family, friends, fans with the true spirit of NY. We don't want anyone else.He also made people forget how obnoxious the owner of the Yankees can be and love the Yankess in spite of him!!!!!No today one can fill his shoes. George, suck it up and stick with Joe!!!!!!!

Giuliani is an f-ing idiot. If, God forbid, he became president, he'll be at Yankee Stadium all the time instead of doing his job. If you thought Bush waiting 7 minutes to get up from reading to those kids was bad, just imagine what would happen if Giuliani was watching the Yankees and something happened! HAHAHA.
