Bad news for Yankees - Jorge Posada is going on the DL

 
We can talk about today’s win later, but the great game pitched by Chien-Ming Wang is overshadowed by the fact that Jorge Posada reinjured his shoulder. He’s going on the disabled list for the first time in his career. Poor Jorge. Just watched his interview in the postgame, and he was about as glum and depressed as I’ve ever seen him. And with good reason. He called this injury the “biggest disappointment” of his career, and even apologized to the Yanks for getting hurt in the season after signing a new contract. Anyhow, this news is awful. Get better soon, Jorge! One other note - Kim Jones really ticked me off when she, no joke, actually asked Posada, “How disappointing is this, Jorge?” Are you kidding me? What do you think? Leave us a comment! [link]
