Everyone knows that Hank Steinbrenner is a complete and utter idiot. That there's no debating. But, in addition to that, he's also somehow an even bigger gasbag than his father ever was.Never has that been more apparent than in a recent interview Hank did with the New York Post, where he wanted to make it clear who's in charge of the current Yankees mess - as if we had any doubts.
Sitting behind his desk at George M. Steinbrenner Field, Hank Steinbrenner yesterday spit on the notion he has taken a step back in running the Yankees
"There is one very important point here," Steinbrenner told The Post during an exclusive half-hour session. "The most important thing to remember is this: If you didn't get it from me or my brother [Hal], it doesn't mean [anything]. I don't care about some piss-ant employee. If you don't get it from me or Hal, it's meaningless. I have a lot of things [in Tampa] and Hal is in New York, which is good."

Yeah you damn piss-ant employees! I may have been born with a silver spoon in my mouth and have inherited this team, but dammit, that doesn't mean I didn't earn the right to run it into the ground!
By the way, if I'm reading this correctly, this also means that GM Brian Cashman is a "piss-ant employee." I could be wrong, but GMs usually don't fall into that category and usually are, you know, useful on some level because they tend to know the game and players better than the owner does.
Anyhow, if I'm the Red Sox, the Tampa Rays, the Orioles, or the Blue Jays I have to love what I'm hearing here. With Hank in charge, you can pretty much be sure the Yankees won't be going anywhere fast.
