Statement by George M. Steinbrenner

Principal owner, New York Yankees on comments by Boston Red Sox owner John Henry

"We understand that John Henry must be embarrassed, frustrated and disappointed by his failure in this transaction. Unlike the Yankees, he chose not to go the extra distance for his fans in Boston. It is understandable, but wrong that he would try to deflect the accountability for his mistakes on to others and to a system for which he voted in favor. It is time to get on with life and forget the sour grapes."

LOL...to the victor go the spoils

even as a sox fan I have to laugh at that :laugh:

i do think there should be a salary cap but Henry isn't the right spokesman to speak up

this season is going to be awesome, to bad with all that help the yankees will end up in second place

The only thing Sox fans can b*tch about is that their owner wouldn't spend the money.

$teinbrenner should talk...he's the first one to bi*ch when something doesn't go HIS way.

Tom I like the way it was reported on mike n mike this morning to the background music from the empire strikes back with Darth Vader breathing in the background with an "In closing, john henry who is your dady?" "John Henry, I am your father."

I hate the Yanks, but that was well-said by George.
