redundancy of the day du jour

George Steinbrenner is an idiot.

Yes there is such a thing as getting too worried too soon. If I were him I'd wait until the Yanks get swept by a team no one thought would contend, such as the Jays (could happen, look at our offense this year - and the big guys aren't even hitting yet!) ... then I'd start freaking. But to do it after losing to the O's, especially so early? Hey, Baltimore's built a good team ... AL East will be the AL's equivalent to the NL Central this year ... maybe even tighter.

He's just a buffoon. A, baseball is a looong season, and it's way too early to make any judgements. But more so, B, you can't goad people into playing better. If they're overpaid, who's fault is that? Whatever a player is paid, they are who they are, and can only perform according to that. They're not machines.

I don't think the AL East will be any big race this year. I can't see either the Jays or the Orioles holding up. But I won't be at all surprised if the Yankees don't even make the playoffs...!

Looks like Georgie's rant worked.

19 runs motivated by fear of getting cut? Maybe he told Jeter to shave his sideburns ...

Yup, a clever PR move, ranting just before the team plays the D-Rays. Good timing, Georgie.
