George Steinbrenner released a statement yesterday:

"The season is still very young, but up to now the results are clearly not acceptable to me or to Yankee fans. However, Brian Cashman our general manager, Joe Torre our manager and our players all believe that they will turn this around quickly. I believe in them. I am here to support them in any way to help them accomplish this turnaround. It is time to put excuses and talk away. It is time to see if people are ready to step up and accept their responsibilities. It is time for all of them to show me and the fans what they are made of. Let's get going. Let's go out and win and bring a world championship back to New York. That's what I want."

"Everything is everything, but you're missing."

Bruce Springsteen

Damn, that's one of his saddest songs. Beautiful too.

This does not sound like George Steinbrenner's tone.

2 There's some vintage Steinbrenner bluster and petulence in there:

Losing is not acceptable.

Show us what you're made of.

Win. That's what I want.

But you're right. It still doesn't sound like George. It's as meaty as matzoh.

Howard Rubenstein(brenner) gets paid a lot of money to do better than that.

1 Springsteen? Or Lauryn Hill?

Everything is everything
What is meant to be, will be
After winter must come spring
Change, it comes eventually

I don't know why, and I'm not sure she ever said or wrote it, but "Everything is Everything" made me think of Gertrude Stein.

My first thoughts was the Phoenix song, though it isn't exactly full of positive imagery.
