"Red Sox Nation?" What a bunch of [expletive] that is," he said in an interview with The New York Times' Play magazine. "That was a creation of the Red Sox and ESPN, which is filled with Red Sox fans.
"Go anywhere in America and you won't see Red Sox hats and jackets, you'll see Yankee hats and jackets. This is a Yankee country. We're going to put the Yankees back on top and restore the universe to order."

I absolutely love this guy..

[koko]

I absolutely love this guy..

He reminds me of a young george. Unfortunately, I don't know if that's good or bad.
When I was a kid, I hated George.

[ThaKoolAidKid]

It needed to be said. Yankee Country all the way.

[AndThenThereWasTino]

Mabye not the best way to put it but HELL YEAH. This is Yankee Country!

[RYMASTER or Ryan_Yankees]

He's moved back into the "like" category for me.

[hellonewman]

He's right about ESPN being a Red Sox hotbed but the term "Red Sox Nation" wasn't meant to imply that most of the country loves the Red Sox, it's meant to refer specifically to those people who root for the Sox.

Hank talks a lot for a guy who's never really accomplished anything.

Nail on the big fat egomaniacal head! ***News flash***,Hank (rolls eyes) The Sox have won two W.S. in the last four years! What exactly have you done? STFU and build us a winner,then you can run your big fat obnoxious mouth all you want.

[yankeegeek]

I love what he said; yet again. Yankee pride!!!

Is it bad that I have a man crush on Hank!

Exactly. I especially like the part where he takes another shot at Joe Torre, saying he was "handed" a winning team. If the Yankees win it all this year, with a team that was handed to Hank, I wonder what he'll be saying about his own accomplishments.

[ej877]

I prefer the term "Yankees Universe" myself...

[cajunyankee]

Hank won't allow the Yankees to be anyone's biatch.
It ain't my money, so spend it like ya got it.
Good to see ya.

And all of his talk hasn't accomplished anything either

[hbk81]

wow i wonder how the teams feels when he talks crap about boston

[Dr. Gonzo]

He's moved back into the "like" category for me.

I never disliked him, but I liked this comment.

[NYYDieHard]

Hanks comment on the red sox was great, finally someone stands up and points out the obvious. espn and this "red sox nation" crap is a complete steal from the term "raider nation".

[Yankeesfan924]

Although I admit Hank is a person who was born on third and thinks he hit a triple kind of guy, I do love this quote!

[CoyoteYankee]

Like father, like son.

George talked a whole bunch of crap before he ever won anything too.

I think it's funny. I love it when the owners talk crap.

[a-RobinsonCano-Fan]

[YanksFan1992]

Why?


I am glad to hear to him talk like this, I quite like this guy.

That sounded like a Pearl Jam reference..."Bu$hleaguer" to be exact.

[JDPNYY]

The fire, the life had gone out of the Yankees.

They had become doormats in many ways.



It's looking like that old fire may be back. I love it.

[a-RobinsonCano-Fan]

becuase us yankee fans have all the confidence in the world.

Im honestly not a big fan of any of the steinbrenners. they talk outta their a$$es.

- the whole deadline thing with santana
- the constant public announcements of some "meetings" whenever the yankees lose 2 straight
- Calling out the nfl
- Calling out Boston
- and the fact that they want to win the world series tomoro rather than for the next 5 years.
