Hank's at it again

NY Daily News:

 

"If we don't make it this year, I'm not going to explode," Steinbrenner said Tuesday in a telephone interview. "Injuries are a part of the game, and in 35 years since we've owned the Yankees, I've never seen a rash of injuries like this."

 

- "Chamberlain had become the most dominant starting pitcher in baseball and Wang has been a 19-game winner every year," Steinbrenner said. "You lose those two guys, it's rough. If the Red Sox lost (Josh) Beckett and (Jon) Lester, the whole national media would be crying about it. We lose two guys better than Beckett and Lester and you don't hear anything."

 

- "I can guarantee you this; a lot of teams are riding high on the hog right now, but in the end, we're always going to be there as long as we're healthy – and so are the Red Sox," Steinbrenner said. "The others? They all go up and down. Look at Detroit, the Rockies, the White Sox. If we stay healthy, the team we have next year, we'll be might tough."

[BoSox21]

wow, this guy is completely obsessed with us

[Mr Crunchy]

did someone forget to dose up on his prozac again?

""we got 2 guys better than beckett""...sure hank,wang looked like calvin schiraldi and al nipper last october and joba attracted flies by the millions,this will happen when you are used to s***ing in an outhouse without toilet paper,hopefully he has learned.

[jacksonianmarch]

than beckett and lester is what he said. Regardless, he does have a point. We have lost a ton of pitching and offense this yr

[TheKilo]

Yeah, it sucks when your team gets decimated by injuries. No one is crying for the Braves and Guardians, right? And they don't have the payroll flexibility to take care of some of their injury problems.

 

Oh, and I've heard quite a bit about Joba being out.

[jacksonianmarch]

We arent the only team, that is true. But look at our DL. I would have to say we are the most affected team.

 

Hughes

Wang

Pavano

Kennedy

Chamberlain

ARod

Posada

Damon

Matsui

 

they have all spent significant time on the DL

[TheKilo]

Can you really count Pavano?

Red Sox:

 

Ortiz

Beckett

Schilling

Lowell (x 2)

Lugo

Matsuzaka

Buchholz

Wakefield

I don't remember anyone in the national media crying about the Red Sox injuries in 2006...

[mtbykr]

I saw this on ESPNEWS last night.....even the 2 commentators were laughing and making snide comments on what a moron Hank is. Hank is the Ken 'the Hawk' Harrelson of front office personal.

The only one crying about injuries is Hank. I make no excuses for my team.

lol @ Hank excusing the Yankees for missing the playoffs when he ran Torre out of town for "just making the playoffs"
