Now that the Jorge Posada saga is dead and dissected, attention turns to his BFF, Derek Jeter. Posada is a precursor, the lead man in a conga line of players Girardi must assuage as they age.
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.
With Derek Jeter and Jorge Posada struggling, and Mariano Rivera nearing age 42, the end is coming for the generation that restored the pinstripes to prominence.

Since the bullpen has been used more than it should be and is going to continue to be used like that, I thought now is as good a time as ever to look at which relievers can be the most and least trusted.
Travis Snider doubled home the winning run in the 10th inning and the Toronto Blue Jays beat the New York Yankees 6-5 on Tuesday night.
For 17 seasons Mariano Rivera has put together a body of work that is unrivaled yet has been done in such a distinguished manner you almost forget he's a New York sports icon.

Derek Jeter passed Rogers Hornsby for 33rd place on baseball's all-time list with two hits, and the Yankees' relievers held off the Twins in their first game since blowing a big lead to win 4-3 on Thursday.
