Jorge Posada gets a lot of love for being a Yankee with championship pedigree. But the masses turn quickly when you're hitting .165.
Jorge Posada's days as a Yankee are numbered. The moment he told his manager he'd rather sit down than hit from the No. 9 hole sealed it. The real shame is that he's likely just the first in a long line headed out the door in New York.
The Rays feel facing the Yankees for the first time in 2011 isn't a big deal. That may be because the AL East leaders have a more pressing concern. Though, so do the Yankees.
Family, friends and fans of Derek Boogaard sobbed Sunday as they fondly remembered the 28-year-old on a somber end to a weekend during which his distraught family agreed to donate his brain to medical researchers.

Jerry "Rello" Recco began his first update of the week by recapping the Yankees' 5th straight defeat, a 7-5 loss to the Red Sox, which put a nice bow on Boston's 3-game sweep in the Bronx.
Believe it or not, New York's sweep at the hands of Boston this weekend took a back seat to another story out of Yankee land.
Kevin Youkilis hit a tying three-run homer, David Ortiz had a go-ahead drive and the Boston Red Sox completed a sweep of the reeling New York Yankees with a 7-5 victory Sunday night to reach .500 for the first time this season.
The Vancouver Canucks came back to open their first Western Conference final in 17 years with a 3-2 victory over the San Jose Sharks on Sunday night.
