Steinbrenner backs Torre and Cashman, but says results not acceptable (http://sports.yahoo.com/mlb/news?slug=ap-yankees-steinbrenner&prov=ap&type=lgns)

April 30, 2007
NEW YORK (AP) -- Yankees owner George Steinbrenner backed manager Joe Torre and GM Brian Cashman on Monday, challenging players and staff "to show me and the fans what they are made of" following a start he termed "clearly not acceptable."

Steinbrenner previously had refused comment on his team, which went 1-5 against the Boston Red Sox the past two weekends and dropped into last place in the AL East at 9-14.

Yankees owner George Steinbrenner backed manager Joe Torre and GM Brian Cashman on Monday, challenging players and staff "to show me and the fans what they are made of" following a start he termed "clearly not acceptable."Oh my. Let's see what that does. (If nothing, then he should be firing people.)

I agree. He just gave a vote of confidence to Torre, and Jeter who publicly supported Torre. If the team is still flat after next week, I will not be surprised if heads roll.

Can George fire players? <g>

If the team is still flat after next week, I will not be surprised if heads roll.And I can't blame him.

Can George fire players? <g>Sure. He'd still have to pay 'em, depending on their contract, but he sure could fire 'em.

...now watch both of them to start pitching lights out...
