Now Hank's Attacking the Media

From The New York Post:

Now it's the media's fault.

Hank Steinbrenner, who has gone out of his way to emphasize how much injuries have hurt the Yankees New York Yankees this season, told the new Sporting News magazine that he had to do it because, "Most of the national media is full of Yankee haters."

"That's why I have to point out the injuries," Steinbrenner writes in his column in the magazine's relauch issue, dated Sept. 1. "Because the media sweep that under the rug and say we're playing poorly.

"But next year, in a new stadium, we'll be much better."

While I do agree that the national media is full of Yankee haters, I also think Hank needs to stop making excuses, it's not the Yankee way. Plus there's still 36 games left this year and the Yanks are just 5.5 games out. Can't you wait until they are actually eliminated before mentioning next year?
