Hank Speaks About His Team's Pathetic Offense

From SI.com:

"We've got to start hitting," he said Wednesday. "It's getting ridiculous. They've got to start waking up. They've shown in flashes what they can still do."

Steinbrenner, the team's co-chairman, has been surprised by the inconsistent offense, but noted that it's been an area of concern for general manager Brian Cashman.

"Even when I was worried about the pitching earlier -- starting pitching is the most important thing of all -- but Brian would keep telling me, 'Yes, but I worried about the hitting,"' Steinbrenner said. "That was Brian's biggest concern even as we were reconstructing the pitching. We all know they're better than that. I don't know. Maybe a little less outside distractions and a little more concentrating and they'll start hitting better. I thought they would go on a consistent tear, and it hasn't happened yet."

Well Cashman was right, even with the pitching issues it's been the offense that has been hurting this team.

If they could start hitting consistently they could win a ton of ballgames, but they just haven't shown they can do that yet.
