Hank Steinbrenner says the fact Johan Santana will pitch for the Mets on Friday against the struggling Yankees is no big deal.
"To me, it's not any added significance because Santana is pitching. We want to win, it's that simple," Steinbrenner said today in Tampa, Fla. "We're both kind of struggling. We just need to win. They just need to win. We just need to keep putting wins in the win column. We've got to start racking up some runs."
Steinbrenner likely will watch Friday's Subway Series opener on TV in Florida, but could be at Yankee Stadium over the weekend.
"I think there is a very good chance I might go up there," he said.
"They've got to play smarter and harder," he said today. "The injuries ... when you're missing Alex Rodriguez and Jorge Posada, that makes it tough. The injuries make a huge difference.
"At the same time, you've got to get it done. We still have plenty of good hitters. We need to get the job done."
"No question, the Rays are a hungry team," the Yankees co-chairman said. "That's what our team has to get back."
"We're going to do everything we can turn to it around this year," Steinbrenner said. "I guarantee we'll get his thing straight next year."
"There's no question, when we get 100 percent healthy, we'll start hitting," Steinbrenner said. "The players, the hand they were dealt, that makes it tougher for the other hitters."More of the same, pretty much echoing he comments from Kevin Kernan's article this morning. I just don't understand why he keeps talking about next year already. They're not playing well, I'm well aware of this, but they are only 4.5 games out and it's still only mid-May. Not really the time to give up if you're the owner, or fans for that matter.
