Well, today's not a total wash at least.

NEW YORK (AP) -Yankees owner George Steinbrenner said he was "deeply disappointed" at his team's elimination in the first round of the AL playoffs, calling it a "sad failure."

Let me accurately phrase my response in MMORPG-speak.

[NYYBoss]: wtf wiped
[RedSoxSpatch]: omg cry more noob
[NYYBoss]: what a sad failure
[RedSoxSpatch]: somebody call the wahmbulance
[NYYBoss]: stfu, we sposed to win every year, we have uber gear
[RedSoxSpatch]: one sec, I'm checking the Care-O-Meter
[RedSoxSpatch]: DON'T CARE |-\----------------------| CARE

Sure, we didn't even make the playoffs this year, but that won't stop me from laughing in the face of Mr. Deep Pockets Georgie here. How'd you like buying your way to a first-round elimination? Whee hee hoo!

"Rest assured, we will go back to work immediately and try to right this sad failure and provide a championship for the Yankees, as is our goal every year."

Spoken like a true CEO. Leverage those goddamn resources by seamlessly integrating real-time coaching knowledge to maximize a paradigm of victoriousness or you'll be repurposed.

our guy said:

"Moving forward, we are determined to develop a strong and competitive team every year. As has been the case in the past, we will commit the resources necessary to achieve our goals."

at least he doesn't try to refer to a winning season/pennant as a *product*.

Well, of course he wouldn't say "product." Pennants are deliverables. [I feel dirty just typing this!]

Imagine an owner making that same statement, with 'Cubs' or 'Devil Rays' substituted for 'Yankees'.
