Word has it Boston just wants the Yankees to unload more good players to get Santana.

So far Hank hasn't pulled the trigger.

He's a blowhard. Talks too much. Makes promises and then goes back on them. Vows to do this, vows to do that and never comes through.

His word has become meaningless and his Yankees haven't even played a game under his watch.

It's quite comical actually.

This is the year the Yankees miss the playoffs.

Didn't you say that last year?

Annoyed by all the negativity surrounding the Mitchell Report, Hank Steinbrenner told the New York Daily News that there is no reason to question the championships the Yankees won during the supposed "steroids era".

"Don't make any mistake about it," he told an Associated Press reporter, "Our teams in the late '90s beat everybody, and we beat everybody because we were that much better than everybody. And they had just as many players doing stuff - all the teams. I guarantee you, go through every team in baseball and they all have the same basic percentage of players doing stuff. They just weren't as good as us."

"You think the Red Sox didn't have players doing stuff back then? Give me a break. They just weren't as good as us, and neither was anybody else."

***

Once again, the Yankees are becoming a joke.

I might have said something along those lines early on in the season when they were struggling, but I don't remember saying exactly that.

You're probably right though

"But as far as missing the playoffs — if we miss the playoffs by the endof this year, I don't know how patient I'll be. But it won't be againstthe players. It won't be a matter of that. It will be a matter of maybecertain people in the organization could have done something else."

It's January, Hank. How the fuck can you assume it will be a coach or management person to blame for your teams demise?

You think Torre is glad he got out of that mess, I sure do.

Good Luck, Joe Girardi.

Every team was using it, unfortionatly the only teams to ratted out were the Yankees and the Mets.

No teams were ratted out. It was players ratting out other players. According to those players (taken all from the Mitchell report), the Yankees were the clear favorite in terms of players who broke the rules. I'm not saying the Yankees dynasty that was the late 90's is tarnished, but it's quite odd that the biggest names in the sport who got caught (outside of Barry Bonds) all happened to wear Yankee pinstripes at one time or another.

Giambi and Sheffield both 100% took steroids for years upon years, that's been known since the BALCO scandal nearly three years ago.

Roger Clemens, Jason Grimsley, Glenallen Hill, David Justice, Chuck Knoblauch, Denny Neagle, Andy Pettite, Mike Stanton, Ron Villone, Rondell White among others were also ratted out.

Pretty much 50-75% of the people implicated have Yankee ties. Again, not taking anything away from those teams, but there isn't a doubt in my mind that many higher-ups within the Yankee organization knew full well what their players were doing.

I can't wait until Roger Clemens is made into a complete and utter buffoon in a week.

Well it should be proven by this time next week that he lied about not using steroids, etc. I think that will be fun.

Posted by: min0 lee

I always felt he did do it, but for the sake of the game I hope he doesn't.

The Yankees would be OK if Hank would just shut up, stay in the background, and let the baseball people make the decisions.

Exactly, but he won't. He's a Steinbrenner.

OK, but now I need a title for the thread. Here's what I've come up with so far.

The Yankees will be great in 2008. (It rhymes if you say it right)

Life without Roger - The Yankees shoot for the top.

How about those Yankees - the sequel.

Let's talk about the Yankees.
