If the season ended today, the Yankees would finish fourth in the AL East. Not surprisingly,
Hank Steinbrenner isn't happy. What's his solution? Trampling all over his general manager's turf. From the
Bergen Record:
"Suffice to say, there's not going to be any more, on my part, of trying to keep everybody happy. If I want somebody, I'm going to go after him," Steinbrenner told The Record by phone [Thursday] afternoon.
Not content merely promising to second-guess his general manager in the future, he also threw
Brian Cashman under the bus for the team's current failures. From the
New York Post:
"We're going to have to look at what has been done wrong over the last five years, which I've had one year to try and figure out," Steinbrenner said. "Clearly, a lot of mistakes were made. I'm going to be reviewing the entire organization. We're going to do everything we can to win next year."
Cashman's contract expires at the end of the season, and as recent as last week,
reports citing unnamed "MLB sources" indicated that the Steinbrenners wanted him back. Were those reports premature? Because if that's really the case, Hank has a lot to learn about the art of persuasion. I'd be surprised to see Cashman walk away months before the debut of the new stadium, but I'd understand if he's at least tempted to look around before signing
away his sanity to work for such an impulsive, overbearing boss.

Listen I have been a Yank fan for years,Because of greed and over payed bums and owners that strip the average family from seeing the games without sitting in the clouds or taking a loan out for a family of five,I watch at home,I cursed this team at the end of last year when they got rid of Torre,Part of the curse was George was through,it happened,I cursed the Team because of lost Honor and committment to the team,and that they wouldnt win another title for ten years,well it started,I do think the yanks should take a small item from all yanks in the past,and bury it in the outfield,a tomb of the gods of baseball for one,the second request,an autograph baseball from Yogi to me,and last five tickets to a game,great seats,and I will remove the curse,and all will rest well with the Team next year. Attu me usesa betas zeti e amontonda There is one word missing,for those three things I will say that word.
