George Is Gettin' Upset

After the Yankees lost this afternoon to Baltimore -- their fourth consecutive loss and eighth in ten games, George Steinbrenner released this statement:

Enough is enough. I am bitterly disappointed as I'm sure all Yankee fans are by the lack of performance by our team. It is unbelievable to me that the highest-paid team in baseball would start the season in such a deep funk. They are not playing like true Yankees. They have the talent to win and they are not winning. I expect Joe Torre, his complete coaching staff and the team to turn this around.

New York (4-8) begins a two-game series on Monday with the Devil Rays (4-8) -- The Battle for the Cellar.
