Yanks Owner: BoSox Closer A 'Mouse'

The New York Post - Hank Steinbrenner and John Henry have been having a back-and-forth media battle this spring as owners of the two most hated rivals in all of baseball, but now a player has gotten himself into the mix, according to the New York Post.

"I don't know if he's trying to stir things up or not," Boston closer Jonathan Papelbon said. "I sure as hell don't care, because he sure as hell hasn't stepped on a baseball field. He needs to just stick to pencil-pushing, I guess."

Steinbrenner wasted no time firing back.

"Being insulted by Papelbon is like being attacked by a mouse," Steinbrenner told The Post.

"John Henry and I traded a couple of jabs good-naturedly," he added. "So now, all of a sudden, this player, this 20-something kid who really doesn't know his way in the world, comes out with a personal insult. There's no excuse for that." [READ]
