Hank Steinbrenner is the biggest...uh...kitty...I've ever seen

[RickD]

Well agreed with that...he should have said tail end of the 20th century!

[HoustonGM]

or the AL needs to remove the DH..........

Or things could just stay the way they are., so those that like the DH can see baseball with it, and those that don't can see baseball without it.

[RickD]

Yeah but that takes all the fun out of saying Hank is right!

[Arctic Blast]

No need to worry about that, Rick, because he's WRONG (come on, now, I KNOW Yankee fans actually enjoy disagreeing with Steinbrenners...it's encouraged! )

Wah wah, my pitcher had to run the bases, and he got hurt. And...what...if Johnny Damon got hurt doing the same he'd demand that every ballpark in the majors cushion the basepaths with soft foam when the Yankees come to town?

[SirKodiak]

Hmm, now why would the Yankees' owner say that the NL should have the DH and not mention that getting rid of inter-league would also solve his problem...

$$$$$

[robinhoodnik]

Man, the Yankees pitchers see enough guys rounding the bases to get the idea of how it all works.

[Reade]

Does he have any clue about baseball and its history, at least his daddy did.

Just another rich spoiled a**hole owner with no clue.

good one.

maybe they would be better at running bases than pitching

Shouldn't this read

Just another rich spoiled a**hole with no clue.

There are plenty of rich spoiled assholes who don't own baseball teams

[Alloutwar]

Unbelievable. 'our pitchers don't know how to run' - listen, if Bartolo Colon and David Wells can leg one out, your highly-trained, athletic young pitcher can probably run 90 feet without killing himself.

This is an unfortunate occurence, and I feel bad (already felt bad for the Yanks, I mean c'mon), but...he ran 90 feet. No throw. No slide. You're telling me a pitcher, who uses his legs as his main muscles to throw a ball 95mph, and must spend hours running and conditioning to be able to pitch a full 9-inning contest, has never run 90 feet in a straight line during practice? And futhermore, that he cannot compete with the highly sculpted physique of say, a Carlos Zambrano?

I've recently stopped hating the Yanks, with Boston's WS wins and all...but the Steinbrenners, they're as ignorant and loudmouthed as ever.

[Reade]

I actually like the Yanks, just not the stupid a** running the team.

[ohms_law]

What really ticked me off was:

That was a rule from the 1800s.

wha?!?
Way to make the DH shine there, buddy. Thanks.

[metsguy234]

I'm worried that when my Mets are playing an AL team my pitcher will get too bored sitting on the bench all the time.

lol
