Yankees’ ace Chien-Ming Wang is expected to be sidelined until at least September after injuring his foot running the bases, prompting club co-chairman Hank Steinbrenner to chastise the National League for playing without a designated hitter.
“My only message is simple. The National League needs to join the 21st century,” Steinbrenner said in Tampa, Fla. “They need to grow up and join the 21st century.”
My only message is you are a crybaby. Injuries are part of the game – if you can’t handle the heat with a $200 million ballclub, get the hell out of the summer.
“Am I (mad) about it? Yes,” Steinbrenner added. “I’ve got my pitchers running the bases, and one of them gets hurt. He’s going to be out. I don’t like that, and it’s about time they address it. That was a rule from the 1800s.”
Watch out everyone, Hank Steinbrenner is pissed. I really don’t think I could care less about any subject? Then why am I writing about it, you ask? Because this crying fatbody needs to be called out.
“This is always a concern of American League teams when their pitchers have to run the bases and they’re not used to doing it,” Steinbrenner said. “Pitchers have enough to do without having to do that.”
That is right – they do have enough to do. Like collect monstrous paychecks, remain overweight, remain unable to lay down a bunt, field their position or pitch more than five innings.
Cry about having a piss-poor squad, Hanky – not about this.
