Hank Isn't Happy

Hank Steinbrenner has expressed his feelings about the Yankees many times this season, yesterday being no exception. Though he says he "isn't writing off this season", Hank seems to be using the injury card to blame the Yanks recent slide. He was quoted as saying "I think it's very simple, we've been devastated by injuries. No team I've ever seen in baseball has been decimated like this. It would kill any team." He finished off his statement by saying "We're going to win it next year, if we need to add a top veteran pitcher, we'll do that. We'll do whatever we need to do. Next year we'll be extremely dangerous."

CC Sabathia is going to be a well paid man this off-season. Though he says he isn't, it sure sounds a lot like Hank is waiving the white flag. It seems like the Yankees are saying something that Boston fans knew all too well, "wait till' next year".
