10/13/2001 - Jeter's flip saves Yankees' season
(Posada applies the tag. Photo courtesy of the New York Daily News) The 2001 New York Yankees, the winners of four World Series titles in five years, came dangerously close to getting knocked out in the first round. The Oakland Athletics, their first opponent in the postseason, were an extremely...
Sad time for Yankees, fans
The overwhelming emotion I feel right now as a diehard, long-time fan of the New York Yankees is sadness. Watching the great Mariano Rivera get hit last night in a fashion that had never happened in his unparalleled 15-year career only solidified that feeling. I have been espousing the 'it's early...
Around the Yankee Universe, 03.23.09
I wonder how many 'Derek Jeter sucks at shortstop' posts we will see around the Inter-Google today. Jeter, if you don't already know, made a two-out 8th inning throwing error Sunday night that cost Team USA three runs as it was eliminated from the World Baseball Classic by Japan, 9-4. As it is,...
'Big day' for Posada, Yankees
From the Journal-News: For the first time since July 19, Jorge Posada will get behind the plate and catch in a game today. The Yankees plan to let Posada catch only three innings against the Minnesota Twins. That should be just enough time to get an idea of how well he has recovered from the...
Posada mashes in his pre-season debut
After my article on how important I thought Posada is to the success of the Yankees, I was stunned with his performance yesterday. Jorge made a big splash in his first spring training game by cracking a solo HR on the first pitch he saw that landed deep into the right field bleachers. In his second...
Around the Yankee Universe, 02.27.09
Prized young reliever Mark Melancon, the apple of my Spring Training eye, pitched a very impressive 1-2-3 inning Thursday against Tampa Bay. I watched a little of the game on YES, hoping to catch a glimpse of Melancon. I was glad I did. Fastball in the low 90s, good curveball, a good presence on...
Does the Yankee season hinge on Posada's health?
The more I look at this team and observe some of its shortcomings, the more I see Jorge Posada as being the success key. If he can catch at least 110-125 games effectively and hit around .280 with some pop, the Yanks have a great shot at the pennant. He can slip back into the fifth or sixth spot in...
Posada to the d.l., Yanks shopping for a catcher
Well, the Yanks suffered a pretty significant blow today, with Jorge Posada being placed on the d.l., and possibly out for some time: It should have been a terrific day for the Yankees, one of the best of the season. Instead, it was perhaps the worst, a day when they found out that a truly...
Posada to the DL
For the first time in his career, Jorge Posada is headed to the DL and it could be a long time before we see him behind the plate again. Unfortunately, the shoulder injury that has plagued the Yankee catcher since the first week of the season appears to be a very serious one and could require...
Jorge and the Hall
Rebecca over at This Purist Bleeds Pinstripes asked me if I thought Posada was a good Cooperstown candidate. A discussion ensued, where we both thought that if Posada's career ended today, he would be a borderline candidate. We decided the discussion was worth writing about (all statistics...
