Boss blasts A-Rod, Yanks after loss to BoSoxESPN.com news services
It didn't take long for The Boss to get mad about the Yankees' 14-3 loss to the Red Sox on Tuesday.
According to New York media reports, a clearly angry George Steinbrenner left Yankee Stadium in the eighth inning. Later, he vented his frustration to a group of reporters.
When asked what he thought of the game, Steinbrenner said, "What did you think of the game?" He then jabbed his fingers at reporters and repeated, "What did you think?"
Steinbrenner avoided singling out Randy Johnson, who gave up seven runs and five walks in 3 2/3 innings.
"I'm upset at a lot of them," he said, before adding, "The third baseman."
Alex Rodriguez made a pair of errors at third base and 21-year-old Melky Cabrera, brought up when Gary Sheffield went on the disabled list before the game, dropped a fly to right field by Ramirez for a two-run error. New York, which allowed six unearned runs, had 12 errors coming in, tied for the second-fewest in the majors.
"Overall we just had an awful game. I had a real bad game," Rodriguez said.
Steinbrenner's mood was in stark contrast to his attitude before the game, when he said he expected the Yankees to play well against the Red Sox.
