Insults fly for Yankees
New York Yankees pitching coach Mel Stottlemyre, who has not been shy about saying he has one foot out the door, slammed team owner George Steinbrenner. Stottlemyre said his boss was ripping manager Joe Torre by congratulating the Angels for their division series victory.
Other than money, I don't think there's any reason for Stottlemyre or Torre to stick around. They've already won championships. And, the promise of more titles probably isn't enough to offset all the abuse they take from Steinbrenner. Just quit and let him pick up the pieces and rebuild.
