    Jorge Posada fiasco

    Posada was scheduled to bat ninth in the lineup today, but pulled out a few hours before the game. Apparently he was "insulted" at being slotted so low in the batting order and threw a "hissy fit." Who knew that guys with .165 batting averages had this big of an ego?

    .165? He'd be our number six hitter in Oakland.

    Waaah!! It's so difficult to be a Yankee, being protected in the lineup by great hitters.

    Yanks have mishandled Posada, in every way - CBSSports.com

    Then, on Saturday, Girardi put the struggling Posada in the ninth spot in the batting order, for the first time in 12 years. Even with Posada's .165 average this year, it was such a drastic move that the only reason to do it would be to embarrass him.
    Right. the .165 avg obviously had nothing to do with it.

    Latest I heard was he needed to clear his head. Next it was he had a bad back.

    Either way the guy produced in pinstripes. Maybe this was blown up for no reason?

    Another thing, the .165 batting average would be batting cleanup for the Twins. Kubel would bat 5th with no runners on base.

    Re: Jorge Posada fiasco

    Doesn't he already bat with no runners on base?

    Posada is fucking lucky he still gets to even hit let alone 9th!! If I were Girardi, his ass would be on the bench! I cannot see what he is complaining about.

    I understand the whole 12 year veteran repect thing, but prima donnas pull this kind of crap. A stand up guy (think what Lou Gehrig would have done) should have gone to JOE and suggested HIMSELF ....."Coach? I'm just not getting it done, do what you need to do with me for the good of the TEAM." I also understand you don't want to see your hubby get "demoted" or "reprimanded" but this is his job and the wife needs to keep her nose out of his work relationship.
