Seriously, he is entertaining. I hope he never gets muzzled.
It is a dark time for the rebellion.
I can imagine Hal, deep below the Yankee Stadium field in a bunker specially built for him by the Howard Spira Construction Company, directing Girardi from a two-way hotline during another blowout to the Red Sox in the playoffs:
Hal: What's going on now?
Girardi: We're getting bombed.
Hal: Well do something! Attack! Attack! Attack!
Girardi: Hal, we're on defense right now. Boston's hitting.
Hal: You fool! Call in the SS!
Girardi: Hal, I can't. I've already pinchhit for Betemit. I got nobody else except A-Rod and he's having enough trouble as it is covering third.
Hal: Use the secret weapon!
Girardi: You mean Mo? He's in there now, getting his ass handed to him.
Hank's mouth is a detriment in many respects, but there is no real downside here.
I'm entertained. It's better than having Zell own my favorite team.
Baseball's not as complicated as football.
Has there ever been a bigger mismatch than the Epstein/Steinbrenner duel? Theo could school both of these clowns while brushing his teeth before breakfast with one had while wiping his ass with the other.
Epstein owns the team now? Good for him.
Theo could school both of these clowns while brushing his teeth before breakfast with one had while wiping his ass with the other.
School him in what?
wait, isn't that true? baseball is a limited series of isolated events. football has MUCH more game theory / strategy involved.
You must mean Henry/Steinbrenner or Epstein/Cashman? Otherwise, it's a pretty stupid comment.
If you are new here, don't worry, there will be more to come.
Because the games that count don't start for 25 days, 11 HRs, and 28+ minutes.
DUH, he was in him mom's basement with some spreadsheets
Asked and answered! I think it's hilarious that this guy is the new voice of the New York Yankees. It's nice that there's someone out there saying every crazy, unconsidered thing that comes into his head. It makes a nice antidote to all the lawyer-crafted statements I've had to read athletes deliver this offseason.
Because he sounds like a typical 16 year old trash-talking jackass off an internet message board and give him free reign of the national media.
Heck, 'bout time we got another Charlie O in the game. Things were getting too buttoned down and corporate in the ol' game. A little jackassery never killed anyone (unless they were incredibly stupid in which case three cheers for natural selection).
Let's get Lucchino in on this and fire up the ol' manure spreader.
Best Regards

Brilliant.
Wow. That says a lot, doesn't it?
Brilliant.
They've become the Clintons to our Obama... it's been 90 years for Sox fans and it's great to see.
I'd say they are Britney Spears to your Lindsay Lohan.
Both have been successful, and one more recently, but the rest of the world just wishes you'd both shut up and go away.
If the rest of the world didn't care we wouldn't hear or see as much Britney and Lindsay.
But seeing him recreate the Marilyn Monroe pictures would be fine?
Fixed.
Good to know expense accounts still exist in the print(-ish) world. Considering they all but took the Long Beach Press-Telegram behind the barn earlier today, he oughta grateful they didn't make him walk.
The Red Sox are not "America's team". That's a myth.
Hank is full of hot air, but it doesn't mean he's ALWAYS wrong.
He says Yankees need to get some swagger in them.......
Well, there are certain historical analogies you could make between Steinbrenner and Chiang Kai-Shek....
I'm happy because I figure Hank's dumbness is a Yankee-specific luxury tax.
Please tell me this was a reference to Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip's "Your brother is standing IN THE MIDDLE OF A FIELD IN AFGHANISTAN!" line.
Nope. You're right about this. Nobody says "America izzzz... Red Sox Nation!"
You mean Hank is too stupid to know the definition of a nation? I. Am. Shocked.
Yankee fans can laugh now, I don't know if they'll laugh when Hank sacks Cashman, replaces him with a flunky he can control and ends up hiring Howie Spira to tail A-Rod.
Well, there are certain historical analogies you could make between Steinbrenner and Chiang Kai-Shek....
The latter isnt' Taiwanese.
Come on guys, the whole "Red Sox Nation" thing is one of the lamest things around. Even ESPN didn't try to elect a President of Who is Now.
Steinbrenner is doing his own marketing with his tantrum.
Ignore them all, I say.
The latter isnt' Taiwanese.
Well, duh, and Stalin wasn't a Russian, which is equally true and equally beside the point. But both Generalissimos (Steinbrenner and Chiang) were exiled from their respective mainlands and are (were) reduced to firing verbal shots at their erstwhile underlings.
But of course the Yankees will return. The ghost of John Foster Dulles has guaranteed it.
The latter isnt' Taiwanese.
I hesitate to doubt anyone named "Wok" about this, but isn't that where he wound up?
This is untrue. I live in a neutral area and there is just as much, if not more, Red Sox gear seen on the subway than Yankee gear.
And Red Sox Nation is real. Anybody who grew up in New England. ESPN may be partly responsible for popularizing it, but it existed long before ESPN ever existed.
Additionally, there are recent reports that the Red Sox are encroaching on what used to be traditional yankee turf in central Connecticut and other border areas.
That statement by Hank actually reveals a latent panic on their part that their losing their grip.
########. I can back my #### up.
What I'm enjoying most is the Steinbrenner brothers remind me of the Colangelo/Auerbach era. Jerry thought he was always the smartest guy in the room and thought he could swindle Red, only to end up getting swindled himself.
This is what Yankee fans have to look forward to. Good luck with that.
The latter isnt' Taiwanese.
I hesitate to doubt anyone named "Wok" about this, but isn't that where he wound up?
Well, Idi Amin wound up in Saudi Arabia, but nobody mistook him for a Saudi Arabian.
And if there's one thing that Chiang Kai-Shek and Mao agreed on, it's that Taiwan was little more than an offshore province of China. I'm not sure that Wok would agree with that, but then he likely doesn't even control an army the size of Steinbrenner's.
That's the way I understand it too.
Not necessarily. I think Hank senses that the Red Sox and not the Yankees are now considered the flagship team that everyone talks about now, whether they are fans or not, and he's trying to recover with his mouth what he couldn't on the field.
*fistpumps!*
"Red Sox Nation" is, however, not a claim to the popular superiority of the Red Sox. That is, it's a way of soaking money from Red Sox fans by piggybacking on the already-existing sense of fan unity with a bunch of bizarre gimmicks. It is not a statement that the US is a "Red Sox nation" or that the Red Sox are America's team or something. Hank Steinbrenner, in an awesome display of adolescent insecurity, has imagined "Red Sox Nation" as an affront to himself.
It's an affront to good taste. but not to the Yankees.
Lines like these make me feel that Hank is having fun with the rivalry, stirring it up for publicity, and generally embracing the entertainment part of this game called baseball.
Sometimes a cigar is just a cigar. I think the Yankee brand is doing just fine.
Not me. I take it to mean Red Sox fans everywhere, transplants, Greater Bosotn college converts, international nutters like Wok and Phil*, etc. I'll bet there's at last as many fans outside of NE now as inside.
*hey Phil. Ready for the twins to get out of the house and off the school yet?
No. That goes back tot he 70's. I think an anthology of short stories was named that.
Well! [/Jack Benny]
And a curse from the other darkhorse teams in the AL East...
Yeah, saw this post and it didn't register with me until now.
You really mean you're a fan of 28 teams? That's...weird.
"no, YOU did--you invaded Poland!"
MLB = WWE
Can you SMELL What the HANK is COOKING!!
