Hank is no Boss...

steinbrenner1_195.jpgBefore this year, I lived in NYC.  During my time there I learned a lot of things; Pop = soda, a regular slice is simply just cheese, the 2 hour window for a free transfer can make or brake your day, John Rocker wasn't exactly lying about the number 7 train, and George Steinbrenner will always make front page news with his comments about the Yankees.  Since then, his two son's Hal and Hank have taken over the franchise.  Hal is the soft spoken, "I don't give a shit, just give me my huge paycheck" type of guy and Hank is the outspoken, "I will say what I want, when I want" type of guy. 

Is anyone else in this boat with me thinking that Hank is trying a bit too hard?  I mean, he clearly is no George, but I think he is desperately trying to be.  His most recent outburst consists of him saying they (the Yankees) have to "work our butts off."  My guess is if Hank was in my fantasy baseball league, he would get smoked.  I don't think he truly knows anything about baseball or simply sports for that matter.  By the way that he speaks, he sounds like the team manager for my 7th grade basketball team.  The guy that so much wanted to be a part of the team, but would have made a better bank teller than a point guard.  Hank needs to leave the baseball speak to the professionals.  Go back into your plush office and figure out how to suck more money out of the pockets of all the fans...that is what you are good at that is what you know.  It very much reminds me of the Bob Knight interview with Jeremy Schaap a few years ago..."You got a long way to go to be as good as your dad.  You better keep that in mind."

Clemens vs McNamee = Drago vs Rocky
I understand that this is terrible for the game, but the public "hanging" of Clemens is quite intriguing.  If you haven't heard, Roger Clemens and Brian McNamee are going toe to toe with the Representatives on Capital Hill today.  Jayson...
