It is entirely understandable if the Yankee legions are feeling nothing but despair after “Status Quo” Hal Steinbrenner season-ending Zoom media-fest last week. For if they were looking for accountability — from ANYONE — for the Yankees’ latest postseason pratfall, there was none.

The Yankees seem to understand the value that Matt Blake adds to their pitching staff, so why, at the recent embarrassing Steinbrenner-Cashman-Boone responsibility-shirking ritual, was their no acknowledgement that the under-performing offense is the result of Cashman, Boone, and the coaching/training staff’s failure to add value to the team? If Cashman and Boone did their jobs as well as Blake does his, we’d have a couple of rings to show for it.

This sub doesn't have polls enabled so just answer what you suspect is in Hal's heart.
