- What they're selling: The 2008 team will be dogs compared to the 1996 team which would've won the World Series with any manager.
TAMPA, Fla. - "The Yankees have not even hired a successor for manager Joe Torre yet, but in a stunning change, senior vice president Hank Steinbrenner is preaching patience with the next manager.
"I think the most important thing is, whoever we hire, give him a chance," Steinbrenner said. "Because he's not getting the '96 Yankees. He's getting a younger team, and for the most part, it's a transition period, so give him a little while."
"We want to win the World Series every year," Steinbrenner said. "We're not stupid enough to think we can do it.""
- WHAT? ARE YOU SAYING RANDY LEVINE IS STUPID BECAUSE HE JUST SAID YOU WERE SUPPOSED TO WIN IT EVERY YEAR? (sm)
- WHAT WILL SCOTT BORAS DO WITH THIS STATEMENT? HE SAID HIS CLIENT EXPECTS TO WIN THE WORLD SERIES. ARE YOU SAYING YOU'RE GIVING UP ON AROD?(sm)
(Newsday): "The fact that the Yankees had not won or even advanced to the World Series since 2003 is the reason Torre was only offered a one-year contract. However, it seems the new manager will not be held to that standard, at least initially."

The whole Yankee organizations is clueless, look at how they have dealt with the Torre situation. The old man threatens to fire Torre if they don't make it pass the first round, but yet the son now asks for patience for the new manager, and the same team. They are trying to make the 96 Yankees look like the best team ever, in order to take credit away from what Torre did during his first year with the team.

They'll run the thing down the drain at this rate. No one's in charge.
