Jorge Posada announces retirement; lauded by Jason Varitek Posted by Peter Abraham, Globe Staff January 24, 2012 11:12 AM By Peter Abraham, Globe Staff Long-time Yankees catcher Jorge Posada announced his retirement today. The press conference just started in the Bronx. Derek Jeter, Mariano Rivera and Andy Pettitte are on hand for the event at Yankee Stadium along with Hal Steinbrenner and Diana Munson, the widow of Thurman Munson. Posada was with the Yankees for 17 seasons. He hit .273/.374/.474 with 275 home runs and 1,065 RBIs. He played 125 playoff games and was an All-Star five times. Via the Yankees, here's a comment from Jason Varitek: "After hundreds of head-to-head games during the regular season and the postseason, I can't say I respect and admire anyone at our position more than I do Jorge. The hard work and preparation he put into catching is a huge reason he has five championships on his resume. He is a true grinder." Posada said he wanted to retire as a Yankee. It'll be interesting to see what happens next with Varitek. Posada is 40 and Varitek turns 40 in April. Those guys would make for a great book given all they meant to two great franchises and all the drama they were involved with on the field over the years,

Nice. Welcome to Boston! :thumbsup:

Must have been this morning (my time). Djokovic won 6-1, 6-3, 4-6, 6-3

I voted less than 50. Unless the Japanese have discovered a secret speedy healing process. :-)

Federer. It wasn't close. 6-4, 6-2, 6-2

I know. Just hadn't seen him post in a while and when Emmz mentioned him, I assumed he had been banned but checked and he was not.

yes

jacko used to go by The Rivernator.

I think this place could use a new Mod.

Thanks but...:lol:LMAO:lol:

He doesn't fake injuries, why would he do that? The way he plays causes the injuries. I wouldn't like a player that was a faker or a fraud. I think you are off base when it comes to Nadal.

I think he is noticing all the focus/discussion on a SP. Everyone has touched on both though. Personally, I feel better about our BP than our SP but hope all will be addressed. There are definitely concerns about both.
