Baseball managers have been fired every year for a variety of reasons, I'm kind of sick of all this press about Joe Torre. What do you think?

Why are baseball playoffs called world series ?
what other contries are playing beside US and Canada ?
it's like in the NBA, the winner is world champion. it doesn't make sense only canadian and american teams are playing.
it bothers me and it's like saying that americans are the only one in the world.

I call it the Curse of Don Mattingly. Before I begin, I'm not bashing Donnie Baseball. He was a good ballplayer who did wonderful things for the Yankees during their Dark Ages. However, it must be noted:

1. The Yankees, from the time Mattingly made his 1983 debut for them until his last season in 1995, made th playoffs only once (1995).

2. During the Mattingly era, the Yankees suffered through some of their worst seasons in franchise history.

3. Since Mattingly has returned as a coach, the Yankees have yet to return to the World Series. In fact, the past few seasons have witnessed embarrassing collapses for the Yanks during post-season play.

To me, the presence of Mattingly on the Yankees either as a player or coach has done nothing to raise their profile as the most dominant professional sports team. While other "curses" get more attention, this new one flies under the radar. Are all these instances coincidental, or can this "curse" be legit?

I ask this because it has been repeated by many on this site and elsewhere otherwise. Facts are facts, and it may be helpful to deal with them in these discussions.

What if the Indians beat the Red Soxs (after the Red Sox were predicted to win) and the Indians go on to win the World Series? Will Cleveland then get the respect that they have been denied? Or will the commentators and sportcasters turn a blind eye on the Indians? When the Indians beat the Yankee's, it was more important to show the press conference of Joe Torre and the fact he won't be returning next season?

By the way Yankee's fans, you did put up a good fight, but I think now is time the Indians got their respect they deserve.

Haha, ok it's a serious generalization and it's not in my character to generalize a whole group of fans, because let's face it, every team has their ignorant fans and bandwagon fans, and fans that are not knowledgeable, but so many people say that Yankee fans are not knowledgeable about the game.

I have seen so many answers saying that Torre should not be fired, etc...

Hey Yankee fans that think this, Torre will NOT be fired. He will not be retained by the Yankees if anything. But he finished out his contract and Steinbrenner is saying he will not re-sign him. That's not getting fired. And Yankee fans wonder why people think this way about them.

In all honesty, I've met and talked with a lot of devoted and knowledgeable Yankee fans, just not so much on Yahoo Answers.

Hockey has the Stanley Cup, Basketball has the Larry O'Brien trophy, Canadian Football has the Grey Cup, American Football has the Vince Lombardi Trophy, Baseball does award the Cy Young trophy for the best pitcher in the AL and NL, but there is no name for the trophy given to the world series champion. Should baseball have a name for that trophy and if so what should it be. Best answer will be given to the most original concept.

I think this series may go 7 games. Both teams have explosive offenses and decent pitching. Your thoughts?

Not exactly cause for a Celebration, mind you. But there ought to be something to acknowledge the Centennial of the last time the Chicago Cubs won the pennant.

Not that I'm knocking the Cubs. Anybody can have a bad hundred years.
