With George Steinbrenner becoming increasingly angry with the performance of his $200 million team, the heat is on Joe Torre. "I'm accountable," Torre said. "I'm the manager. This is obviously something I need to find an answer for. It's up to me to find a way to make this thing start working again. I've never been a manager that said he does this, he does that. I remember talking to Tony La Russa when he was in Oakland, and we talked about similar things. It drives him nuts when his club loses. What am I not doing? That's the way I think. That's the way he thinks. Do all managers think that way? I don't know. But that's my personality. That's where the accountability, the blame, whatever word you want to use - it's my responsibility, that's how I feel."
