Is Steinbrenner giving up on '08 Yanks?

Posted: Wednesday August 13, 2008 05:38AM ET

Hank Steinbrenner talking about next year was a strong indication he privately feels like a lot of other people: This year is gone. After explaining to the Associated Press that he wasn't giving up on this season and pointing to key injuries having played a huge part in the disappointing year, Steinbrenner made a prediction about 2009. "It's not making excuses. It's reality. That's part of the game. That's clearly our problem," Steinbrenner said of the injuries. "We're going to win it next year. If we need to add a top veteran pitcher, we'll do that. We'll do whatever we need to do. Next year we'll be extremely dangerous." What about the remaining part of this year? While time is running out, Steinbrenner's comments caused a few heads to shake. Joe Girardi avoided critiquing Steinbrenner's comments but didn't discount catching the Rays or Red Sox.

Every team has it's injuries. The Sox lost one of their main starters
(Schilling) all year, and maybe permanently. They lost Papi
for a good part of the season...

i actually hope I am wrong and THE RAYS make the playoffs (that is still a pipe dream IMO). The CENTRAL is having trouble getting any team with a winning record, and in the WEST it would be a shocker if anyone other than the ANGELS made it, LEAVING THE YANKS.

Your "pipe dream" at this stage has about a 40x better chance of occurring than the Yanks winning the division.

Boston spanks the Yanks tonight to put them 9.5 back
with 31 to go.

Arod: 0-5 with 2 Ks, about right for this time of the year

The Yankees are a bad team, but I honestly get really sick of people, including Yanks fans, bashing A-Rod. The guy might be the best hitter of all time. I would trade anybody on the Jays minus Doc for A-Rod in a second. Doc for A-Rod would actually be a good trade, I just like the guy too much to see him leave Toronto.

Also, no way Yankees can use injuries as an excuse. TB has had tons of injuries, Boston has had tons of injuries, Toronto has had tons of injuries. Injuries are no excuse. They just have an average team and Yankees fans for the most part can't accept that.

The greatest hitters of all time thrived in the clutch. A-Rod disappears.

He has 2 RBIs in the 8th and 9th inning this season total. He's
batting .248 with runners in scoring position. Check out his
average in the post-season the past 4 years, totally abysmal.

They don't call him Mr. May for nothing.

Tell me you are not trying to divert attention from the Red Sox woes...you really think Kotsay is the answer? I want my money you stole from me in my moment of weakness (or was it idiocy?) Anyway, my Phils came back from 7-0 to win tonight....how about those apples? And I only hope the Phils go after A-Rod next year, or maybe even Manny (you do remember Manny?):missingte

No kidding...that may well be the most misleading "injury" list I've ever read.

Mostly Day2Days and a half dozen were prior to the start of the regular season.

Either one sandwiched between Utley and Howard would be mighty fucking tasty.

Maybe next year Yanks.

End of an era w/ Yankee stadium going bye-bye.

Injuries killed the Yanks this year.

They had only 3 decent starters on the roster on opening day. They expected to compete with that? Recruiting the alcoholic and strike-out machine was brilliant too.

Yankees 3 games out of the wild card with 14 games to play.

Do they make the playoffs?

The walk-off 3 run home run by Ramirez with 2 outs in the 9th hurt them last night...

Was that the Game of the Year? It was certainly a candidate for Game of the Year. What we learned Thursday:
1. The Boston Red Sox will win and it will be dramatic. When Aaron Hill struck out swinging to start the ninth, Boston's estimated odds of winning were 1.9 percent. When Xander Bogaerts grounded into a fielder's choice for the second out, it was still just 4.4 percent. When David Ortiz singled, the odds went up to 10.1 percent and when Mookie Betts singled the odds increased to 17.2 percent. A passed ball moved the runners up. When Hanley Ramirez's home run flew well over the center-field fence the odds were 100 percent and the game was over and the New York Yankees had fallen five games behind the Red Sox in the AL East, and three games behind the Toronto Blue Jays for the second wild card.
What a ninth inning:
(A) Joe Girardi wanted to avoid using Dellin Betances, who had pitched the previous two nights. I actually think this was good strategy, with the bottom of the lineup up and three-run lead. After Blake Parker hit Chris Young, however, Girardi went to Betances.
(B) On the 2-1 pitch to Ramirez, he checked his swing. It looked like a swing that is normally called a swing, but first-base ump D.J. Reyburn said no. Them's the breaks.
(C) With first base open, Betances didn't have to throw a strike to Ramirez -- who, by the way, has been red hot with a 1.029 OPS over his past 26 games. Rookie catcher Gary Sanchez called for a fastball and Betances threw a 99-mph pitch. With Travis Shaw on deck and a 3-1 count, maybe a slider made more sense, considering Ramirez had waved wildly at one way off the plate and checked/didn't check his swing on the 2-1 pitch.
(D) It was the first time the Yankees had lost a game with a three-run lead and two outs in the ninth since September 28, 2007 (Jay Payton hit a bases-loaded triple off Mariano Rivera and the O's won in the 10th).
(E) Betances is probably unavailable now for Friday's game.
(F) Are we having fun yet?
