The time was right for Joe Snoree to go! He took a lot of bows when they were winning and made himself the toast of the town, but when things went bad he took exception to being on the hot seat! Good bye and good luck! He should be cautious about taking too many bows right now. He ran a team that was 6 games over .500 in the weakest division in MLB. Hardly a reason to make a big fuss about him and his achievements. Let's see what happens if Manny walks next year!!! As a long time Yankee fan, I always want the AL East to win if the Yankees don't. That being said, the AL East will definately represent the AL in the WS this year.
