George Steinbrenner appears determined to let manager Joe Torre try to fix his struggling ballclub. "He certainly is unhappy, as you would expect," said Howard Rubenstein, spokesman for the Yankees owner. "He noted that Joe Torre said he would take full responsibility for the team. It's in his hands. He still has confidence in Torre. Let's see whether he's able to do it." Torre held a closed-door meeting Friday night after the team's 10th loss in 12 games, an error-ridden 8-1 defeat at St. Louis. He wouldn't discuss the subject matter with the media. Rubenstein said Steinbrenner is not considering getting rid of Torre. "George has confidence in him," Rubenstein said.
