On January 26th, we showed how the betting world does not view the Yankees as a contender this season, and gives them their worst odds of winning a title since before their late-90s run. Yet, that hasn’t stopped Hal Steinbrenner from continuing to issue statements only a government official would love.
Hal speaking on Friday from Tampa:
“All I can assure the fans is, we’re always going to field a championship-caliber team every single year.”

Uncle Hal is most honorable man. He help train nephew
Nikita for matches in ring. Uncle Ivan Koloff say trust Hal s
Steinbrenner. Russia # 1. Soon all titles will belong to Nikita &
Steinbrenners.

That’s right, it’s those Steinbrenner Boys who are the real Marxists!

This is basically the same team as last year with downgrades in right field at catcher, an upgrade at DH, and an upgrade in left/centerfield (wherever Gardner is playing). The Yankees would have to be really unlucky to suffer as many injuries as they did last season so I think you could make the argument that the team as presently constructed could win over 90 games and win the division.

Plus last year early in the season we went through that whole RISPFAIL thing which was kind of flukey so…

We have a starter named Andy Pettitte whom is so old that when a ball hits him it breaks his bones.
We have a closer named Mariano Rivera whom is so old that when he trips he tears his knee.
We have a shortstop named Derek Jeter whom is so old when he rolls his ankle it breaks.
At 3b we have Alex Rodriguez whom is so old he has 2 fake hips.
Our ace named CC Sabathia is a morbidly obese black man. Those 4 words don’t add up to healthy individual.
We have a GM named Cashman whom is busy in adulterous affairs.
We have a firstbasemen named Mark Tex whom is so old he is now telling us it’s hard to hit 30 HR but will insist on cashing that check that pays him to hit 30 HR.
But at least we ain’t the Mets!

Wasn’t the whole repeating a lie until it’s true thing a Hitler/Goebbels thing. You know I’m a PhD in all things racism.

The Giants won two of the last the World Series. The term ‘championship caliber’ is overrated.

Dat ass.
