“We’re going to win it next year”. That's the latest in verbal diarrhea from Hank Steinbrenner.
Hey Joe Girardi, take the rest of the year off. Your owner just stuck a fork in you.
Hank has adopted the old mantra of “wait till next
year”. Only problem is they are still playing. Nothing like giving your team a good push down the bowl before you flush.
If you start a statement with “Don’t be offended”, someone is still going to be offended. Hank’s latest bout with foot in mouth disease is essentially the same.
Hank blames this year on injuries. Boo freakin hoo. The old man never would have made excuses. Every team has injuries.

Here they are for the Yanks:
Wang – only 8 wins, probably would have won 18 - 20
Hughes – 6 starts with 9.00 Era, returns in Sept?
Kennedy – 9 starts with 8.17 Era, back to AAA
Joba – 12 starts, would probably have had 9 more
Matsui – 7 HR 34 RBI in 70 games, not exactly Godzilla like
Posada – big drop from last season, welcome to age 36
Wang going down was the biggest blow but they did get 15 starts out of him. Hughes & Kennedy weren’t exactly lighting the world on fire when they went down. Joba could miss a few starts. Matsui was mediocre at best and Posada is the prime example of why you don’t give a catcher in his mid-30’s a long term deal.
Other teams have had major injuries and survived just fine. The Angels lost Escobar (18 game winner) for the season, and Lackey missed the first 40+ games. The Sox didn’t have Schilling, Dice-K and Beckett both hit the DL, and Papi missed 50 games. Add Wakefield and Lowell to the list now.
Suck it up Hankster. It’s all about the roster and lack of depth. Cashman decided to go with the young arms and it didn’t pay off this season. If Pettite and Mussina didn’t have above average seasons this team would really be in the dumper. Damon has been a nice surprise but still hasn’t earned his money. He typifies the Yankee lineup. Even the $28M man hasn’t cracked the top ten in RBI’s. Cabrera, Cano, and even Jeter have been pedestrian.
You can also point a finger at the trade deadline. Why did they acquire bats and not arms? They also traded away depth in the pen in the process. Girardi has also had a free pass this season. Production is down from virtually everyone. And that no name pen that was pitching so well has started to drift back to earth.
So good luck until next year Yankee fans. Why not take off the rest of the season? Your owner has. We'll get the shovel...

every team has injuries? Are you freaking nuts?????
Imagine Beckett, Matsuzaka, Ortiz, Youlkilis and Papelbon being gone for 4 months of the season.
Excuses are excuses and nobody likes to make them, but what happened to the Yankees this season is an absolute disaster in terms of injuries, so don't give me the "every team has injuries" crap
OK Captain Exaggeration… Talk about slinging crap. Think anyone is buying the 4 months of Beckett / Dice-K / Ortiz / Papelbon nonsense? We just passed the 4 month mark of the season. And let’s wait until Hughes & Kennedy actually do something before we start comparing them to Beckett and Dice-K. Matsui is a nice player, but he’s no Ortiz. Posada? See Varitek’s numbers this season.
- You still got a ½ season out of Wang (15 starts), who has been on the DL every season.
- Hughes and Kennedy weren’t going to stay in the bigs even if they didn’t get hurt.
- Matsui’s power and RBI numbers were way off before the injury.
- Posada hit the wall at age 36.
Look at the numbers. The majority of your lineup is 34 and older. A-Rod is 33 and the only two under 30 are Cano (batting .260) and the newly acquired Nady at age 29. With the exception of Nady, all offensive numbers are way down. Last year at this time they scored 730+ runs compared to 601 this season.
Let’s sum it up for you:
- Your lineup is old.
- The “ace” continues to visit the DL.
- Young pitchers have not lived up to expectations.
- The bullpen is also young - which means inconsistent.
- The manager doesn’t know how to get the most out of his players.
Your team just isn’t that good.
Cashman gambled on a number of things and lost.
It’s time to start pining for the CC Sabathia & Mark Texeira signings…
Well, let me sum it up for you, buddy boy: YOU ARE 4.5 GAMES BEHIND TAMPA BAY, TEAM THAT NEVER ADVANCED TO THE PLAYOFFS!!!! and a nice touch, you don't have Manny anymore. When I heard of the trade, I immediately thought of you - how does one spin losing a sure hall of famer in the middle of the season in the positive way? Yes sir! - you did it in style :)
Great logic, mental midget. You are 10 games back of those same Rays.
The difference? The Sox are going to the playoffs while your boys will be golfing.
Question for you pal: What's worse? Having a clubhouse cancer (albeit HOF player) quit on your team - or the owner?
I'll answer for you: You can't trade an owner. We're better off, how bout you?
oh, so now he is a clubhouse cancer? 2 months ago he was a Nation's hero, funny , a little annoying, but great run-producer, game changing player. Heck, all the fans were holding up signs "don't trade Manny". But you, like a true Nation's bitch, turn around and call him cancer. Class throughout...
Uh no, 2 months ago he slugged Youkilis in the dugout and soon after pushed the 64 yr old traveling secretary to the ground for not delivering on game day tickets. Then he decided to quit on his team by faking injuries in late July.
It's pretty clear cut what kind of player he was when he didn't get his way. The fans never saw the dark side until this season.
As far as all the fans holding don't trade Manny signs, how many exactly was that? Captain exaggeration back at work...
How many Yankee fans blindly cheer on A-Rod the fraud? Wasn't he booed all the time. Oh yeah, until he started producing...
owner of the team , looking to any one having injuries in the our team.
