Deadspin
It truly is admirable the way that the son of George Steinbrenner is distancing himself from his father in an attempt to look like his own man. After all, Hank Stein's tirades as of late have created an entirely different yet equally powerful fiefdom of crazy. He's railed against Red Sox Nation, the Toledo Mud Hens (no, really), and now he's sticking it to the immovable force that is the Tampa Bay Syllable Rays.
Seriously, Tampa. You mess with the pinstripes, and you're gonna ... well, you're not gonna! Yeah, take that!
"There are going to be problems, especially if they go after our stars. It's not going to be tolerated. We never have done it to them. It's just not going to happen anymore.""Going after our stars." For the record, Tampa's Jonny Gomes tackled Shelley Duncan.
But they shouldn't go after Shelley Duncan! Absolutely not. Not when the Yankees, in a way, literally own the Rays:
"I don't want these teams in general to forget who subsidizes a lot of them, and it's the Yankees New York Yankees, the Red Sox, Dodgers, Mets New York Mets. I would prefer if teams want to target the Yankees that they at least start giving some of that revenue sharing and luxury tax money back. From an owners point of view, that's my point."Okay, that's just amazing logic. One fight in spring training, and suddenly Hank's opposed to the revenue sharing program.
You just know there's an anti-blog screed lurking in the aorta of Hank's chest. C'mon, Little Stein. Let it out. It desires freedom.

What if those teams cut tickets to affordable prices? Less revenue-less sharing, right?
To be fair, the Pirates do live in their moms basement.
The valiant defender of the "Yankees New York Yankees" and the "Mets New York Mets" must be on his way out to get the papers, get the papers.

Hank the Stein, making it fun to hate the Yankees again.
First off, I don't think making fun of Sandy Duncan's lazy eye would be appropriate.
Secondly, does Hank like Calzones, too?
@bizzo5000: I think that's just Sidney Crosby living in Mario's basement, but that situation is probably there with some of the Pirates too.
Sandy Duncan's Glass Eye and John Cougar ConcentrationCamp are two of my favorite punk band names.
@G Voll the Mole:
I would think Mario's basement is a little nicer than my mothers.
I imagine it filled with maple syrup and money.
Secondly, does Hank like Calzones, too?
His chins say yes.
I think he should be more worried about his neck eating itself.
Hank's daddy problems are far too transparent. "My dad had the Royals; why don't I have a team to push around and make lopsided trades with!??! It's not FAIR."
it's the Yankees New York Yankees
When did he become Jimmy Two Times?
I think all these interviews are coming when he's hungover. Interview him while he's drunk. I'll bet he's a FUN drunk.
@Sandy Magic Jackson:
I'm gonna get the papers..get the papers.
@businessorleisure: betcha he challenges John Henry to drinking contests.
Shirley Duncan is a little bitch
@Chief Wahoo: He's the best thing to happen to Major League Baseball since Billy Martin.
hey look, give Hankie a break. He's dropped a lot of his own money into making the Yankees what they are today.
He's still got a lot of work to do to eclipse his father as the biggest asshole that ever owned a sports team. But I like how he's coming out of the gate.
Lot of promise here with this turd. Lot of promise.
@Sandy Magic Jackson: I was more thinking of him as the Rain Man.
The Rays are awesome. They'll fight with anybody.
Once I saw Mark McLemore charge Esteban Yan back in 2001. Talk about your MLB journeymen brawling on the mound.
@Ichiro Death Glare: Gerald Williams-Pedro Martinez still takes the cake. Epic.
Yammering Hank at it again...
I was more concerned where he said that he supports Joe Girardi completely. Isn't that the traditional sign that a Yankees manager is going to be fired in the next month?
Watching Yanks-Indians preseason right now. Have to say I'm always impressed by Kay's ability to call a game with Steinbrenners cock in his mouth.
Shelley Duncan is appealing his suspension. His lawyer: Eliot Spitzer.
@twoeightnine:
Chins? That thing is a fucking bib!
