Hank Steinbrenner speaks: Baseball's playoff system sucks and needs to be changed.

[Porter]

But Hank loves to have AROD hit meaningless HRs because the rest of the team could fill out AARP cards or are just getting their feet wet in the Majors to just plain sucking (Karstens, yes you the Yankees version of Ryan Feierband)

Hank's proposed system would be dumb because it would make division championships completely meaningless.

So a mediocre team slips into the playoffs every now and then because their division is weak? So what? It happens in every sport.

You know what else happens? More often than not that team gets promptly eliminated in the first round.

That is, unless they face another mediocre team that slipped into the playoffs, as was the case with the 2004 St Louis Rams.

His front office had every opportunity to snag Johan Santana from the Twins while their young pitchers still had trade value, but they let their crosstown rivals steal him in exchange for Carlos "No Stick" Gomez. And the Twins are still in the playoff race.

The future of this franchise is in this guys hands?!? Hal Steinbrenner better be a ****ing genius because Hank is just retarded!! NY deserves better.

Hank is the dumbest man I've ever seen speak this much. Normally, you'd think someone like him would realize how ****ing stupid he is, and just shut his damn mouth. Just shut up, and deal with it.
