If the season ended today, the Yankees would finish fourth in the AL East. Not surprisingly,
Hank Steinbrenner isn't happy. What's his solution? Trampling all over his general manager's turf. From the
Bergen Record:
"Suffice to say, there's not going to be any more, on my part, of trying to keep everybody happy. If I want somebody, I'm going to go after him," Steinbrenner told The Record by phone [Thursday] afternoon.
Not content merely promising to second-guess his general manager in the future, he also threw
Brian Cashman under the bus for the team's current failures. From the
New York Post:
"We're going to have to look at what has been done wrong over the last five years, which I've had one year to try and figure out," Steinbrenner said. "Clearly, a lot of mistakes were made. I'm going to be reviewing the entire organization. We're going to do everything we can to win next year."
