Thank you Jorge for your passion and heart. You were and will always be one of my favorite athletes. Also, thank you for bringing your beautiful wife Laura to the press conference. WOW!

  My one Posada moment, I think it was 2007, I went to the Miguel Cotto fight at MSG after going to the Yankee game that afternoon, I had seats in the lower section and I went to the concessions to get another beer, I see this super hot woman walking past me holding hands with a guy but I didn’t notice the guy until they just passed me by. I only noticed the guy’s ears and then realized I was 2 feet away from Jorge Posada.

I’ve alluded to it many times before when talking about Jorge this year, but now I’ll say the whole thing:
(words by George Harrison)
Sunrise doesn’t last all morning
A cloudburst doesn’t last all day
Seems my love is up and has left you with no warning
It’s not always going to be this grey
All things must pass
All things must pass away
Sunset doesn’t last all evening
A mind can blow those clouds away
After all this, my love is up and must be leaving
It’s not always going to be this grey
All things must pass
All things must pass away
All things must pass
None of life’s strings can last
So, I must be on my way
And face another day
Now the darkness only stays the night-time
In the morning it will fade away
Daylight is good at arriving at the right time
It’s not always going to be this grey
All things must pass
All things must pass away
All things must pass
All things must pass away

Did anybody notice how Posada snubbed Girardi? Two examples are:
1) in the beginning of the press conference when he thanked everyone (including Joe Torre for being a father figure). He never mentioned Girardi.
2) a reporter asked him a question in Spanish about how he improved working with Pena and Girardi. He only said that Pena helped him with getting low and blocking balls in the dirt.
He must be really upset about the whole DH and batting 9th issues from last year.

  He mentioned Girardi when he was talking about his current teammates, called him Joe.

It was a classy affair, except for his wife’s nipples hanging out.

    I think packed and popped is more accurate. Damn, I am going to miss Laura….
