According to person briefed on Posada's exchange with Girardi, Posada told mgr he was "insulted" about hitting 9th and "threw a hissy fit."

I hear Posada is not retiring and also that #Yankees were not on board with him pulling self from lineup, clear clash here

It's really all a pretty big shame. Jorge's K/BB rates are well within career norms and he's actually ahead on HRs/PA. His problem is that unsustainably low .162 BABIP.

Montero as a full time DH? Cause we kind of set at C and nobody needs Cervelli for his hitting.

Is he gonna say something like Girardi is too nice of a guy to take him out and he realizes he's hurting his team?

Edit: wow didn't see above ... Guess he's not gonna call Girardi a nice guy lol

Not too surprising he threw a hissy fit.

His walk rate is down and his strikeout rate is up, although not by a lot. More importantly, his LD% is 11.4% compared to 20% for his career, which makes his BABIP understandable.

Montero catching once or twice a week and DHing the rest of the time seems good to me. Then Cervelli can slide into the mascot/emergency catcher role, which he's perfect for.

BTW, John and Suzyn on the possibility of Posada being pissed about hitting ninth:

John: "Lots of guys bat ninth."
Suzyn: "Jason Varitek does it."

I don't know why, but that exchange made me laugh pretty hard.

wtf arod and tex in rbi spots lately

this

You need to look at LD %s when you evaluate BABIP otherwise the # is largely meaningless. If you roll over weak ground balls every single at-bat, your BABIP isn't going to be very high no matter what. In before Phildo tells me I'm wrong, but my usual rough approach is LD% + 0.12 = what BABIP should be

so yeah he's running bad, but not as bad as you think

last i checked it wasn't up to posada to tell anyone where he bats.

jeter, maybe... ;-)

but posada... um no. gtfo. no one is bigger than the organization. bill belichick would ship him out of town in heartbeat.

well this isn't football and the contracts have large guaranteed sums, so you can't BB people very cost effectively

what the **** is sarah silverman doing in this booth im trying to watch a ****ing baseball game

omgosh the only funny thing you've ever done is **** matt damon gtfo and shut up you red sox homer

i don't think "cost effective" is a priority of the yankees but i agree there's no one in the world picking up his $11m tab.

regardless he is being a baby.

Had to mute Fox feed. Buck McC Silverman is beyond awkward

shut the **** up

this is tilting the **** out of me. "it was bitter sweet" and "it's not as charming when you're winning" and "it's an identity crisis"

holy **** im tilted right now i need to mute the TV this is worse than the girardi coke-bunt-prayer bull****

i was hoping that you were watching some bunk feed but then i realized its the same channel as mine i was just on a delay

how is someone who talks for a living and is supposed to be funny as her job so incredibly awkward and incapable of congruent conversation

yeah a patriots, celtics, yankees fan is rela. shut the hell up.

wow amazing we brought a casualfan.jpeg on to talk about nothing while a baseball game is going on

is this a big level?

yeah throw out the doc ellis story like every casual fan dot jpeg does

now joe buck is freaking out and trying to shut her down just kick her out

this must be the longest inning ever for him

and me

i really think this is a level

"That's how this all started, sitting next to a fox executive on a flight that led to you appearing right here... now."

Joe to himself: "I hope that executive dies."

She starts saying something and Joe quickly goes "THAT'S IT! THANK GOD! THANK YOU GOD! THE INNING IS OVER"

Karak,

That might be the funniest bunch of posts I have read on 2p2.

That was fkn brutal interview

It's times like these that I love Google's "search social network" tool:

_bmc123_‎ I never thought a broadcast with Buck, McCarver and Rose could get any worse. But Fox found a way by adding Sarah Silverman. #justawful

LoHudInsider‎ Did Posada pay Fox to put Sarah Silverman in the booth to change the conversation on Twitter? If he did, smart use of that $ Jorge. #Yankees


CBurkeSports‎ Bigger train wreck just now: Bruins' last two minutes or Joe Buck-Sarah Silverman disaster?


davelipman‎ I just watched Sarah Silverman on Fox. I think surviving it was actually one of Joe Buck's finer moments. #mlb


RoFloSC‎ Artie Lange approved of Sarah Silverman's appearance with #JoeBuck


JoeIrizarry‎ RT @richarddeitsch: Think of the worst TV idea ever. It now ranks behind Fox Sports putting Sarah Silverman on the Red Sox-Yanks game.

Twitter - 2 minutes ago

She sounds better than Suzyn.

ALargeRegular‎ So will this game be remembered as the Sarah Silverman game or game that ended Jorge Posada's career with the #Yankees #RedSox

JennaLaineBucs‎ Sarah Silverman made switching over to Lightning vs Bruins an easy choice.


jaimequevola‎ RT @robertcarlos: Being a red sox fan is about being a loser - Sarah Silverman. Indeed


lanerizz‎ Judging from Twitter, I'm really happy I'm watching Anaconda and not Sarah Silverman in the booth for the #RedSox #Yankees game.
