Tnat's too few games behind the plate even for an old man like Posada...or put another way, that's far too much Cervelli. The problem is exacerbated by the fact that Girardi, so he says, will sit Posada rather than DH hion off days. That means we get too much Cervelli AND have exchanged Posada's bat for Berkman's! The Yankees are not yet guaranteed a play off spot. Posada should not get more than two days off a week including off days; i.e. He should catch more or less five out of six games. 184) 60% amounta to fewer than 100 games over a full season.

Nice! I noticed that TB lost it's football game with Toronto, with OMG... NINE field goals (2 guys with 2 each). Also noticed ARod was out, and saw that his replacement was far better then Arod-of-late. Waiver time for ARod? A good day in baseball.
