Bronx Bombers

Old team full of attitude Jeter should have kept his piehole shut because Posado was acting like a petulant baby

 

Nice followup piece from Buster Ulney

Jorge Posada's eyes welled with tears as he spoke to the media Sunday, after he met with Joe Girardi, partly because he felt he had let down his teammates, and fans. But I also wonder if part of what happened Sunday is that Posada -- nearing the end of a great career -- gave in and accepted his vulnerability to age. Part of Girardi's conversation with Posada -- which both men felt was a good talk -- was to tell Posada how difficult it was to stand aside in the late '90s, as the younger Posada took more playing time away from him. Girardi would get two hits in a game and come in the next day and see Posada's name on the lineup card, and it would hurt. Intellectually, Girardi understands the reason why this was happening: Posada was the younger and more talented player. Viscerally, it still hurt, Girardi recalled. It still hurt to realize that his skills were eroding and that his time as a player was running out.

That's what is happening with Posada now.



He had a couple of great moments on Sunday night. First, when the Bleacher Creatures chanted his name at the end of their roll call. I was sitting next to the Yankees' dugout and as that happened, Girardi and others looked back at Posada and smiled and acknowledged what was happening, and again, Posada seemed touched. Later, when he was announced as a pinch-hitter, Posada got a standing ovation and drew a walk.



Posada did the right thing in apologizing for what happened Saturday, and the Yankees did the right thing in accepting the apology. But in the days ahead, Posada will have to hit and improve his .165 batting average to keep his spot on this team.

 

Fuck the Yankees !!!
