Question

Did Hank Stenbrenner pretty much conceded that the yanks will not make the playoffs this year?

Answer 1

he's just being realistic...../

Answer 2

He may have... but as a Yankee fan, I have not given up hope.

Whenever a team is packed with that much talent, they always have the ability to go on a huge run. Being 5 back of boston, and having many games left against Boston, stil gives them a decent shot. And lets not forget Tb is playing WAY WAY above themselves. They could easily go into a major slump and lose 16 out of 20 or something like that.

Answer 3

He is and He should Be

Answer 4

That's what it seems like to me. I am surprised he is actually thinking realistically with the Yankees and all the injuries they have suffered this year. I didn't think any of the Steinbrenners were capable of rational thinking.

Answer 5

Yup he said and to be Honest that a Stupid @ss move honestly you can say that in public if you feel that go ahead, but what message are you sending to Fans and for most the players

Answer 6

Pretty much.  I'm a little disappointed, actually.  I'm the last person anyone would call a Yankee fan, but with recent Ray injuries, there's still an outside shot at the division and the wild card!

He should take a page out of the Rangers book and never give up!

=D

Answer 7

I think that he did and I would not be surprised to see someone getting the axe to pay for the dismal season.  Their will probably be a little bit of a shake up in the teams make-up this off-season as well, it remains to be seen if he decides to go with his fathers philosophy of  spending big or if he will stick to the plan of rebuilding from within for the most part.  The pitching staff could look drastically different next year and several of the on field players may change as well, with so many guys being free agents they may not be in the mood to resign many of them and you may see wholesale changes.

Answer 8

Pretty Much.

Answer 9

I think he knows that his team needs help and hopes that they can make the Play-off but he does not seem to think they will be in the Post-season.

Answer 10

yeah pretty much, at least thats the most a steinbrenner would ever say.

Answer 11

He may have but I haven't

Answer 12

yeah, but he's wrong
