Steinbrenner watches and rips Yanks

For just the second time all season, Hank Steinbrenner watched, in person, the New York Yankees play. After the game, Steinbrenner only wanted to rip the club for their play.

According to Mark Feinsand’s story in the New York Daily News, Steinbrenner was quoted as saying, “…the bottom line is they sucked.” Not so encouraging words from the co-chairman of the franchise.

Feinsand’s story called Wednesday’s 11-3 loss to the Boston Red Sox “humiliating” as Steinbrenner again used injuries as an excuse. One thing is for sure, the Yankees are going to be hitting the links very soon, since their playoff dreams are all but crushed. The Red Sox, on the other hand, are starting to build their case for why they should be in the playoffs.
