Hank Steinbrenner, Blowhard

[Guest AG/DC]

Every con man is armed with a little truth. His objection is clearly one of self-interest.

I'd have little problem with playing it like British soccer and just crowning the team with the best record. But Hank knows that's not how we play, and his team has happily done well under the system we use.

The Dugout has a go at Hank.

How great, in retrospect, that the 1996-2000 Yankees gave every non-realistic nitwit with a MFY hat (or a diamond tie clip and a rich dad) the inherent belief that they should absolutely make the playoffs every single year, and now that Capt. Fabulous and his thong wearing buddies are booking tee times, a lot of those same people are crying about it.

Good.

I'd tell them to try being a Pirates fan, but it's just easier to dismiss all of them, from Tommy Boy himself on down, as schmucks and ****s.
