Were you under the impression that Hank Steinbrenner wasn't calling the shots for the New York Yankees right now? Maybe you were thinking that Brian Cashman and Hank's brother Hal were the ones who made the decisions, and Hank was just the one who said stupid things in the media.Well I've got some news for you. You're a know-nothing piece of crap and Hank Steinbrenner doesn't have the time to waste on your insignificant existence! He's in charge, damn it!
Sitting behind his desk at George M. Steinbrenner Field, Hank Steinbrenner yesterday spit on the notion he has taken a step back in running the YankeesYou hear that you little piss-ants!? Yeah, he's talking to you, Cashman. Hank is in charge round these parts, and he doesn't want to hear anyone say otherwise!
"There is one very important point here," Steinbrenner told The Post during an exclusive half-hour session. "The most important thing to remember is this: If you didn't get it from me or my brother [Hal], it doesn't mean [anything]. I don't care about some piss-ant employee. If you don't get it from me or Hal, it's meaningless. I have a lot of things [in Tampa] and Hal is in New York, which is good."
Also, in a delicious bit of irony, Hank goes on in his interview with the New York Post to say that he's going to shy away from the media this year. He says this after he holds an interview to reiterate that he's in charge, and then tells everybody what the team plans on doing this season and that he still feels the team should have gone after Johan Santana last winter.
Way to keep your mouth shut, Hank. That lasted a whole three, maybe even four seconds.

There's no question about it, the Steinbrenners are the worst thing that ever happened to the game of baseball. They act like it's their God-given right to be in the world series every year. Well guess what, Steinbrenners, your Yankees team sucks! It serves you right after the way you treated Joe Torre, who's still enjoying the post season by the way. The curse of the a-rod lives on and it couldn't happen to a more deserving group of owners.

torre will only be enjoying the post season for two more games putting a cap on the fact that it was his time to go, unlike all the rest of the teams out there anything but a ring is unacceptable so just making the playoffs is not the prize to us as it is to everyone else

Hank, I knew Geroge Steinbrenner, and frankly you're no George Steinbrenner.
Hank is bluster w/o the brains.
The Yankees, old and decrepit as their owner, placing their hopes on young unproven pitchers, were the team of the 90's; they certainjly are not the team of the new century. That team is the World Champion Boston Red Sox.

He can't blame the piss-ants for spending all that money uselessly. Nope, George did it all by himself.
I'm not a Floridian or southerner, I guess "piss-ant" is not a good thing to be? I had a picture in my mind of little bugs urinating.

Yankees are the Worst managed team in baseball!! They passed on Dice K, blew it on Johan Santana,will most likely not get CC Sabathia and AJ Burnett and re sign Cashman. Thank goodness it's not a public company. It definitely would have tanked.

I guess it is time for papa George to take Hanky behind the woodshed and teach him not to give a piss-ant a 3 year extension worth millions if he does not want him to do his job.

Dear Hanky, Please stay in charge of the Yankees as you are doing such a great job. With regards to your staement re "I am in charge not a Piss Ant employee" I believe the Captain of the Titanic uttered words similar to those just before his ship hit an Iceberg.

You have absoultely no brains. Your just a jealous man because your poor excuse for Yankees and the so called owners are not in the playoffs. They have no idea who runs the team. You just use money for an excuse. You guys just don't have it. We the red sox would never want to carrier the behavior or the bad rap the yankess have.

Dear Juan,
Your car does not have tail fins, Mickey Mantle is dead, Joe Torre coaches in the NL.
Enough already with ancient history.
Tell me again how many World Series rings are on Yankee fingers in the past 8 years.
