So Chien-Ming Wang is running the bases and sprains his foot. Now he's out until September. The always moderate and reasonable Hank Steinbrenner responds to his by blaming the National League for not having a DH.

"My only message is simple. The National League needs to join the 21st century," Steinbrenner said in Tampa, Fla. "They need to grow up and join the 21st century.

"Am I (mad) about it? Yes," Steinbrenner added. "I’ve got my pitchers running the bases, and one of them gets hurt. He’s going to be out. I don’t like that, and it’s about time they address it. That was a rule from the 1800s."

They also need to do away with ball, strike, out and safe calls. Those are also rules from the 1800's.

Man, I LOVE this guy! The Yankees are so fun to hate. The elder Steinbrenner softened and got quieter over the years. Now that the ravages of time and age have taken him permanently out of action, Hank has stepped in to be as full on crazy, meddling, out of control, and condescending as the old man. Kudos to you, sir. If I run into you on the street, I'm going to kick your fat, entitled as.
