Lovable losers

New York Yankees swept by Baltimore Orioles


George Steinbrenner in one of his calmer moments

After the 3-game sweep extended their losing streak to four games in the Yankees mediocre 4-8 start to the baseball season, the Boss said today,

Enough is enough. I am bitterly disappointed as I’m sure all Yankee fans are by the lack of performance by our team.

It is unbelievable to me that the highest-paid team in baseball would start the season in such a deep funk. They are not playing like true Yankees. They have the talent to win and they are not winning. I expect Joe Torre, his complete coaching staff and the team to turn this around.
It's all sweet music to this Red Sox, Twins, and Cubs fan.
