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.
Freddy Garcia pitched effectively into the seventh inning, Alex Rodriguez and Derek Jeter provided the offense and the Yankees' bullpen made it stand up in a 3-1 victory over the Royals on Tuesday night.

45 saves have an odd echo in a hollow dome in a football state. Not the same theater or theatrics of any 8th inning in New York. The cap can be a little tight when you don the "NY" on your dome.
It's frustrating to watch Rafael Soriano fail to pitch scoreless innings -- because of what he did with Tampa Bay last season, and what he's done in the past.
Russell Martin singled home the tiebreaking run in the 11th inning after Mariano Rivera gave up the lead in the ninth, and the Yankees beat the Orioles 6-3 Sunday for a two-game sweep.
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.

Once upon a time, a closer would come in with two outs and the bases loaded in the seventh inning. He'd strike out the batter in dramatic fashion, shut down the opposition for the next two innings, and "save" the game for the winners.
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.
Alex Rodriguez and Jorge Posada both hit a two-run homer, rookie Ivan Nova kept New York ahead and the Yankees made it another tough visit for Minnesota, beating the Twins 4-3 Monday night.
