With Posada on the Bench, Others Must Step Up
slidingintohome.blogspot.com 10/9/2009 — There has been way too much made of this whole Posada-Molina-Burnett thing, but one more post won't hurt anyone.

We support Jose Molina.
behindthemoat.wordpress.com 10/9/2009 — Would it be great if AJ didn’t have a preference? Sure. But whatever works, works. If this lineup can’t survive against the damn Twins without Posada, it doesn’t deserve to win. So Jose Molina, go out there, and make the “peoples” proud..
