In case you have been living under a rock, Jorge Posada apparently took himself out of the lineup last night. Many reporters are speculating that he was upset about batting last.
At age 39, Posada is running on fumes. So far this year he's batting .165. At this point Posada is lucky to be in the lineup at all. Still, he's been a solid player for 17 seasons, so I guess I can see how pride got the best of him. Now he needs to man up and apologize to his manager and to his teammates.
Rumor is the Yankees were so upset by his behavior that they looked into voiding his contract. I sure hope that's not true. Posada is a Yankee great and a future Hall of Famer (at least in my opinion). I'd hate to see his impressive career tarnished by a brief flash of selfish and stupid behavior.
