Did anyone read that bit on ESPN that Joe Torre would be fired if the Yanks didn't win the series this year? I hate to say this, but Joe Stein-whatever (I can't recall his full last name) seems to NOT be a people person. First threatening the umpire, now the manager. I feel bad for Joe Torre even if he was paid the most, but his boss is such a meanie that he doesn't understand that its okay for the yankees NOT to win. They'll still have fans and adoring crowds next season. For the love of baseball, not everything is about winning the series. This is not to say that i don't want the red sox to win the series, but really, if the bosox lost, I'd still be proud of them.

EZMONEY-You were in the part of town called Briargate. It's a fairly new part, and it's pretty nice, but all the roads and houses look alike, so everytime I drive through there I get lost. It doesn't help that they have two roads called Briargate (one is Rd. and the other is Parkway). If you ever come here again, you need to head west to see the Garden of the Gods, or Manitou Springs. I do feel lucky that I live in such a pretty place.

junebug41-Mayor Hickenlooper is cool! I love his Wynkoop brewery! We go there every time we go to a game. I don't know if he still owns the Phantom Canyon brewery here, but I know he saved the building from becoming another parking lot and opened the brewery.

Well, looks like the Yankees will live to play another day. Whew! The mood around our house has been a bit gloomy.

Yep DARBY that was it. My son's friends (my friends too) live off Briargate. We just met them for lunch and ate at California Pizza Kitchen. Other than that new shopping area, didn't see much of your city on that end of town except Air Force of course.

Veggielover there's rumours here that Tony LaRussa may not come back and Joe Torre could be a possible replacement :(

I'd rather they find somebody else.

OH NOOOOOOO. NOOO NOOOO NOOOOOOOOO. I mean, I don't have anything against Torre but PLEASE let this be a rumour. I'd MUCH rather they find someone else than Joe Torre.... oh (crossing my fingers hard) I can't see the manager of the team that I just can't seem to like replace the manager of my favorite team... that just sucks. :(

Veggielover did you know that Walt Jocketty left last week? He's no longer the general manager.

Him and Tony LaRussa were great friends.

A tear for the CUBBIES, and wow that had to be the worst 3 games i have ever seen, GOOD LUCK ALL!

No I didn't Clydegirl :( Kind of let the cardinals go after they couldn't make the division league... as must as I didn't want to think about it.

I'm a little downed by this. Honestly I don't want them replacing everyone. I was upset that they couldn't make it to post-season but this is just a lot of sad news!

Funny - I hate the yankees, but I like Torre.

Ennay, I don't dislike Torre, but as for what Clydegirl told me about Torre replacing LaRussa, I would like laRussa to stay.


Well, looks like we'll see whether or not Torre gets to keep his job tonight. As of right now, its top of the 8th, and the Cleveland Indians lead 6-3. I'm not going to stay up to watch this seeing that'll stretch one more hour... hopefully, when i wake up tomorrow the newspaper tells me that Cleveland goes to play Boston, and that Joe Steinbrenner was actually kidding when he said that he'd fire him.

the bototm 9th just ended. Cleveland 6-4. Bye Bye Torre.


Lets go RED SOX!!

Yay Cleveland!!! I'm glad to see the Yankees done for the season.

I wish I was in Denver! A parade!?! How fun!!

Can't wait until Thursday!!!!

:yay: :yay: Go Rockies!!! :yay: :yay:

I hate waiting until Friday for my Red Sox fix! GO RED SOX!!

Peggy, I see we're in the same location ;)

Can't wait til friday. Espn fans think cleveland will take over the ALCS 4-2.
Personally what I wish would happen is that Red Sox pass with 4-3, but if Cleveland wins, I won't be too upset (no Yankees in ALCS makes me very comfortable).

Hey Neighbor! I really want the Sox in the WS, but am quite happy that the Yankees are gone. ;);)
