AJ along with CC and MO have got to be in top form in the post season. Anyone of those three falters and we go home empty handed.

Why would anyone hide an injury?

Yes and if Posada could catch every game I’d be all for it but the fact is that he (and almost every other catcher (save Hod Rod Hundley, I think it was)) gets about 1 in 5 days off either on the bench or at DH. Given that, wouldn’t it make sense to use Burnett’s starts as Posada’s days off considering their not-so-great repoire and, most importantly, the fact that Burnett would benefit most from a better defensive catcher? This isn’t some knee-jerk OMGOMGOMG THEY HATE EACH OTHER SOOO MUCH thing, its logical scheduling based on strengths/weaknesses.

oh. ok, i’m with you then…

…right up until we do bash teams–teams get jabbed all the time for not spending their luxury tax money or making half the effort The Boss makes (nobody can match it, so lets cut them a 50% break).

You knew you were going to hear that from people today.

He didnt exactly keep his cool with Molina in the 4th inn vs Texas did he?

And if Posada was playing vs Tex wouldnt he have a better shot to actually u know get a hit then Molina??
