Jorge Posada: Jack Curry, our New York Bad Ass talked to Joe Girardi today and tweeted that Girardi expects Jorge Posada on the post season roster. Look, Posada may not have had much in the tank, but he can still hit. No, it's not all the time, but trust me, after his game winning hit against the Rays on Wednesday, you have to bring him. Plus, a veteran with post season experience and 4 rings means something, doesn't it? Read Curry's tweet HERE.Derek Jeter: Anthony McCarron has a piece HERE and discusses how Derek Jeter had sat down with Cal Ripken Jr. for an interview on TBS that will aire before the Yankees Red Sox game this Sunday. In that meeting between the 2, Ripken asks Jeter to admit that the Jeffrey Maier HR was a huge break for the Yankees in that 1996 ALCS. Surprise, surprise, Jeter admits it. Now I'm looking forward to seeing this interview.
Phil Hughes: Hughes had an aggravated, herniated disc and the Yankees gave him an epidural shot to help with his recovery. The plan is to hopefully have him throw a bullpen session this weekend if he's feeling up to it. If that works out, maybe, just maybe he gets one more start this season before the playoffs. Hughes has been through hell this year, you have to feel bad for him. Anyway, read Bryan Hoch HERE.CC Sabathia: It looks like CC won't get 20 wins this season, according to Jack Curry once again, read HERE. The plan is to shut down CC and get him ready for game 1 of the ALDS. That worries me slightly. We just got finished talking about how the 6 man rotation was messing CC up and he voiced his displeasure and how he liked pitching on short rest. Too much rest scares me a bit.
