travis, i'm a bit surprised by some of your comments. i don't really see how anyone can discredit joe torre, despite what may have happened post 2000. what he did in the 90's solidifies him as a manager in my eyes. i've been a bit on the fence about girardi since he started managing the ball club, but to be honest i think he made the right decisions this year. i feel way more confident with him as manager now. i feel like when a season goes perfect the way this one has, and a championship is brought home, there isn't a whole lot to improve on.i say keep burnett, the yankees need good pitching and he had a great season. why wish for him to be traded away? the one season he's had with new york was a very good one. if it ain't broke, don't fix it <img src=\"style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/tongue.gif\" style=\"vertical-align:middle\" emoid=\"
