Hank Steinbrenner Tells It Like It Is: The Yankees Suck

2008_08_hanksteinb.jpgHank "Boss Lite" Steinbrenner was asked about the Yankees' 11-3 loss to the Red Sox last night and he didn't mince words. Newsday, which also has video, reported that he said, "It's very disappointing... Even without having our two best pitchers, so forth and so on, they still stunk... The bottom line is, they sucked." Johnny Damon said, "We just dug ourselves a deeper hole," about being eight games out of the wild card slot, as did Derek Jeter who said, "A lot of people are counting us out. It's our job to prove those people wrong."

Keep your mouth shut, you Grimace.

I love it.

The yankees have paid millions for a bunch of non-performing prima donnas.

Can't wait of the whole thing to come crashing down so they can build themselves a new ball club from the ground up.

Hank Steinbrenner is the real life version of Nelson Muntz from the simpsons.

Eventually the Yankees have to miss the playoffs one of these years.


They sucked.... How about you suck.

It's time for a new regime... Let's go Mets!

I can't believe a meaningless game against Baltimore will be the final game played in the House That Ruth Built. They better friggin win that one.

Maybe the fans can start pissing on the team now.

Finally, I agree with a Steinbrenner.

Fire Girardi?????? How about Fire A-Rod and all the rest of the "PLAYERS" that aren't doing their job! A-Rod has proved yet again that he is the last person you would want at bat in a clutch situation.

This overpaid team is a disgrace....period.

When you are praying for your team to make the 'wild-card' you know they SUCK! There should be no wild-card...it should be like the old days...the TOP TEAMS make the playoffs...the rest go home. The only reason for the wild-card is so the owners can make more $$$....$$$ which, we, the fans keep paying for.

If Yankee fans had any balls they would choose one game before the end of this season and just not show up. The only thing these people know....owners and players...is $$$...so we should hit them in the wallet. Maybe then they would understand the fans...although I doubt even that would work.

I have been saying the Yankees suck for years.

No. Girardi sucks. He's "Clueless Joe 2".

Separated at birth: Hank Steinbrenner...and "Meatwad" from Aquateen Hungerforce?
