Steinbrenner: "Results are clearly not acceptable"

George Steinbrenner issued a statement today. Via MLB.com:

"The season is still very young, but up to now the results are clearly not acceptable to me or to Yankee fans. However, Brian Cashman our general manager, Joe Torre our manager and our players all believe that they will turn this around quickly. I believe in them. I am here to support them in any way to help them accomplish this turnaround. It is time to put excuses and talk away. It is time to see if people are ready to step up and accept their responsibilities. It is time for all of them to show me and the fans what they are made of. Let's get going. Let's go out and win and bring a world championship back to New York. That's what I want."

Has Steinbrenner lost his edge? There's not even one expletive in that statement. I thought for sure that heads would roll today. The only two teams in the Majors with worse records than the Yankees are the Kansas City Royals and the Washington Nationals. Yikes.
