So everyone else has been rightfully bashing the spoiled brat of a man Hank Steinbrenner, but let's not forget Mike Mussina. He says, and I quote:
"We don't hit, we don't run the bases," Mussina said. "You get four or five at-bats a year at most, and if you happen to get on base once or twice, you never know. We run in straight lines most of the time. Turning corners, you just don't do that."
Um, dude, I run and turn corners, and I don't sprain an ankle. I chase my dog around the yard, and she turns corners a hell of a lot faster than Wang had to turn third. I have to stop and turn, and I don't hurt myself. If you ask me, you're being a baby about this. You are in much better shape than I am (trust me, much better), so by definition, after stretching and working out all the time, you should be less likely to pull muscles and sprain things. If you want to blame someone, ask your third base coach why he sent the pitcher home with a four run lead, and Wang pitching like a mad man. I guess we could go back to Little League and let a pinch runner in for when the pitcher gets on base?
Joe Torre is more intelligent than I give him credit for. He knew who was running the organization, so he got the hell out.
