Joe's Resume:
12 playoff appearances
4 World Series Championships
6 Appearances in the World Series
7 appearances in the ALCS
He has been the main man in charge of maybe the greatest era in Yankee history.
We will miss you, Joe. Thanks for the memories!!!

I'm in an odd mood right now. I'm depressed, yet happy to move on at the same time.
Thanks for best 12 years of my life, Joe. I've grown up watching you put an All-Star squad to work everyday.

I am not happy to move on. Torre was the man for this job and who ever comes in here next is going to have an even harder time with the media because they will always be compared to Joe.

The boo birds will be out at Yankee Stadium the first time this team goes through a losing streak.

I don't understand where this franchise is headed.

That's a very good point. Who knows where this franchise is headed? Everybody ready for a revolving door of managers? The bar has been set by Torre. This is not a good start to the Hank and Hal era. The entire Yankee FO handled this situation horribly.

Joe won when we wondered if we would ever win again. He will be missed and will be the standard that Yankee skippers will be measured against.

Its sad Joe to see you go out like this. I feel it was an honor, even though we lost the game, to be at your last game as a Yankees manager against the Indians. I hope you go on to do great things for whatever team has the intelligence to hire you are their leader. This will go down as a great loss for the Yankees and a huge gain for the many teams that realize the importance of having Joe Torre on their bench.
Thanks again Joe. You helped me enjoy being a Yankee fan, watching my first game against the Brewers in the 90s till today. In my heart of hearts, no matter what team you go to, you are still a Yankee. We Love Joe, and we'll miss you man.

very good point indeed....
and this is not a good start to the "Hank and Hal" Era....
i truley feel in my heart of hearts, that Joe will be back...this is not my goodbye, this is a "So Long for now"
because when the yankees realize what you have done for this organization and TRULEY (which i have a hard time feeling the totally do) appreciate what you mean to this franchise, we'll see you again..
im not implying as the manager, although i do see it a possibility...id love to see you back as the President of the Yankees and put that jackass Randy Levine in his place....
u could see how Torre really feels about him in the press conference
so "So Long" for now Joe....u'll truley be missed...u may not have been the "BEST" manager in baseball, but you were (and still are in many eyes) the best "MAN" for the job
Class Act thru and thru
