Hank Steinbrenner Crys Foul That The Dodgers Made the Playoffs Over the Yankees

Sportingnews - "The biggest problem is the divisional setup in major league baseball. I didn't like it in the 1970s, and I hate it now," Steinbrenner wrote. "Baseball went to a multidivision setup to create more races, rivalries and excitement. But it isn't fair. You see it this season, with plenty of people in the media pointing out that Joe Torre and the Dodgers are going to the playoffs while we're not. "This is by no means a knock on Torre - let me make that clear-but look at the division they're in. If L.A. were in the AL East, it wouldn't be in the playoff discussion. The AL East is never weak." "I'm happy for Joe, but you have to compare the divisions and the competition," Steinbrenner wrote. "What if the Yankees finish the season with more wins than the Dodgers but the Dodgers make the playoffs? Does that make the Dodgers a better team? No." "People will say the2006 Cardinals were the best team because they won the World Series," Steinbrenner wrote. "Well, no, they weren't. They just got hot at the right time. They didn't even belong in the playoffs. And neither does a team from the N.L. West this season."
I think I’ve said this before, but I love Hank Steinbrenner. I mean every time I think he can't outdo himself he does. The guy is flat out insane. Honestly how fucked up in the head do you have to be to start bitching and moaning that the Dodgers are making the playoffs over the Yankees? That is like complaining that a 9 inning game is unfair because it isn’t long enough to figure out who has the better team. John Henry and his team of writers/pimps couldn’t come up with something this funny if their lives depended on it. Honestly I should try and get Hank to write for the Stool since Manzo doesn’t blog anymore. The guy is liquid gold.
