An Open Letter to George Steinbrenner

Dear Georgie,

Based on your team's performance so far this season, I hope you've realized that money can't buy you a World Series victory. Please stop hiring old players just because they are famous and you can afford to pay them a lot of money. It's not working. They have no hustle, and don't care about playing hard, because they'll get their millions of dollars even if they lose. Maybe you should consider getting rid of the senior citizens on your team and getting some energetic young guys to replace them...young guys that actually play hard, hustle after the ball, swing at strikes, and actually like playing with each other. Also, as much as I love Joe Torre, you need to get rid of him. He's just not working anymore. Hire someone that isn't a statue on the bench like Torre is. Hire someone with some life to him who'll be able to inspire the players to work with each other and play like a team that actually wants to get to the World Series. Hire someone who rants and raves at bad calls so that you know he actually cares about the outcome of the game. Lou Pinella maybe? I know "Georgie's gettin' angry!!" So please take my advice to fix this problem.

Thank you,
Chris Bell
