He's Still The Boss

From George A. King III:
When Yankees brass entered Steinbrenner's South Tampa home yesterday afternoon, The Boss made it very clear what he wants from the 2010 season: a 28th World Series championship.

"He was all business," GM Brian Cashman told The Post at the end of Day 1 of the organizational meetings, shortly after 5 p.m. yesterday at George M. Steinbrenner Field.

"Obviously, he wants another [World Series title]."

Hal Steinbrenner, team president Randy Levine, COO Lonn Trost, manager Joe Girardi and Cashman huddled at the ballpark in the morning and then left for The Boss' house at noon. There they spent two hours filling in Steinbrenner about what possible moves will be made to fill the two biggest voids: left field and starting pitching.
Cashman also said Steinbrenner was in good spirits.

I'm not sure how much he's really involved in these meetings. This could all just be the Yankee PR machine trying to make Steinbrenner sound like he's fine. Don't get me wrong, I hope he's fine and playing a major role, but be honest, do you really think he is?

Still, I believe Cashman when he says The Boss wants to win another, even if he isn't healthy, he'll always want to win.
