http://sports.espn.go.com/mlb/news/story?id=3446851>"My only message is simple. The National League needs to join the 21st century," (Hank) 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."God, are all the Steinbrenner's retarded?
OK, maybe the AL should stop jerking off their pitchers in between starts.I like having all the players bat, not having a free spot to throw PAPI or GIAMBI in, so they don't have to actually play defense.
>>164913RAGE!
Hank Steinbrenner is a faggot. More than 100 years of National league tradition is more important than a whiny Daddy's boy. Hey Hank-get the damn Yankees into first place before you start whining about other people.
gook fell down runningLOL
>"Am I [mad] about it? Yes,"What did he originally say? "Am I about it? Yes"?
>>164970Who really knows what goes on in the dark, twisted depths of Hank's mind? I know I don't. Nor do I want to.
>>164977It doesn't take a Yankeesfag to realize they suck and Hank's a bitch. Everyone knows that by now.
>>164977OP here. I'm actually a Boston Fan. I don't hate him solely because he co-owns the Yankee's, but because he's an ass who's ruining the game.
>>164970He probably said that he was pissed about it, but ESPN edited it.
>>164977It isn't just about batting.Why should Giambino and Big Papi be allowed to never play defense?
>God, are all the Steinbrenner's retarded?No, just Hank. George would have never tolerated this shit.
>>164989George was a senile old bastard why whined and cried about everything.
take the fucking dh out of the game. it's not baseball, it's an excuse for extending careers of washed up players. So your afraid that your pitcher is going to get hurt? well guess what, the NL has to "worry" about that almost every single game. Stop hating on a league that has rules that you are too pussy to play with./rant
>>164997You are win.
>>164996George also won lots of championships and kept your red sox bawwwing about Bill Buckner and the Ruth curse for years.
ALfag here.DH is homo. Protecting pitchers is fine, but allowing 300lb juggernaut steroid freaks a free pass out of playing corner OF or 1b is robbing everyone of some entertaining (for all the wrong reasons) baseball.
>>165023lulz pitchers hitting and the middle of the order playing station-to-station baseball is entertaining
ALfag here, planted right in the center of MassachusettsDH needs to go. I love Big Papi, but there's no reason for this faggotry to continue. DH is an excuse for getting fat while hitting. Have you seen Papi run?
I'm glad even ALfags agree that the DH needs to go. Now the only people who need to open their eyes are the AL clubs.
Baseball is now a faggy sport anyway.Constant pitching changes,butthurt over pitchers hitting batters when in the old days,pitchers constantly threw near batters and hit batters who disrespected them.Now it's all play nice now kids.
AL and yankees fag here.this injury could have happen to anyone. gald you retards didnt realize this.
MAD JEW IS MAD!The only thing I like about the DH is that it gives you, sometimes, an extra hitter instead of an extra out. Though, of course, there are pinch-hitters. Other than that, you've got Frank Thomas.
>>165051>play nice now kids.Sorry, I couldn't hear you over the sound of James Shield's jaw breaking.
>>165060>bandwagon fan here, it's about time I bought a Carl Crawford jersey
