Yankee owner
Hal Steinbrenner (we're not sure if he's the
"Tweedle-Dumb" or
"Tweedle-Dumber" of the family brood) says he's "pissed" that the Red Sox won it all in 2018.
Isn't that special? Specifically, this was his take on Red Sox World Series Championship #9 in his discussion with the
New York Post's
Joel Sherman,
"[it] certainly pisses me off. I never want a division rival to outdo us. I have no love for the Red Sox on the field or in the division." Guess what, Einstein, the feeling is
mutual! Steinbrenner also seemed to indicate that—with today's singing of
Brett Gardner—there is little room in
The Bronx Embalmer outfield for the likes of free-agent
Bryce Harper. Moreover, these comments by Steinbrenner also seem to rule out
Manny "Spikes-High" Machado:
"That kind of stuff [lack of hustle/dirty play], irregardless of who the player is, in any trade or free-agent acquisition, these are the questions we are asking. The analytics, the pro scouting are always talking temperament, personality, motivation, how good a teammate someone is, do they understand what is expected of them by the New York Yankees and by the fans of New York City. It does matter, and it will be no different this year." Hey, let's "piss him off" again in 2019, shall we?
