New York Yankees general managing partner Hal Steinbrenner came out of hiding and finally made a statement on the Yankees’ poor performance and put the blame on the Yankees players. Although there may be some truth to that, for the most part, it’s bull crap. If you own a business and your employers are not performing as they should, you can blame them, but the better course would be to look in the mirror, boss, you’re not leading.
You can pick at all the little problems, but the underlying major problem is that this team has no fire in their blood, no urgency.
