Now that the Jorge Posada saga is dead and dissected, attention turns to his BFF, Derek Jeter. Posada is a precursor, the lead man in a conga line of players Girardi must assuage as they age.
Jorge Posada's days as a Yankee are numbered. The moment he told his manager he'd rather sit down than hit from the No. 9 hole sealed it. The real shame is that he's likely just the first in a long line headed out the door in New York.
With Derek Jeter and Jorge Posada struggling, and Mariano Rivera nearing age 42, the end is coming for the generation that restored the pinstripes to prominence.
Freddy Garcia pitched effectively into the seventh inning, Alex Rodriguez and Derek Jeter provided the offense and the Yankees' bullpen made it stand up in a 3-1 victory over the Royals on Tuesday night.

A.J. Burnett leads the Yankees with four wins, and in a season where the Yankees need him to be the pitcher they gave $82.5 million to, he's stepping up in a big way.
I can't put a bow on bin Laden. None of us can. I won't be pretentious or presumptuous enough to think that I can tell you how to cheer, jeer, or mourn, how to rebury the beloved after the news stirred the stiff soil.
A day after Phillies fans shouted "USA! USA!" when the news spread during the Mets-Philadelphia game at Citizens Bank Park, fans and players echoed the sentiment across the sports world.
Because they play in New York, because they represented New York for so many in the weeks and months after 9/11, the Yankees are a part of the sports connection to that tragic day and time in our history.
Eric Chavez drove in a run and broke up a potential double play that helped lead to three more, making the most of a spot start and sending the New York Yankees to a 5-4 victory over the Toronto Blue Jays on Saturday.
45 saves have an odd echo in a hollow dome in a football state. Not the same theater or theatrics of any 8th inning in New York. The cap can be a little tight when you don the "NY" on your dome.
It's frustrating to watch Rafael Soriano fail to pitch scoreless innings -- because of what he did with Tampa Bay last season, and what he's done in the past.
Russell Martin singled home the tiebreaking run in the 11th inning after Mariano Rivera gave up the lead in the ninth, and the Yankees beat the Orioles 6-3 Sunday for a two-game sweep.
Since the bullpen has been used more than it should be and is going to continue to be used like that, I thought now is as good a time as ever to look at which relievers can be the most and least trusted.
Travis Snider doubled home the winning run in the 10th inning and the Toronto Blue Jays beat the New York Yankees 6-5 on Tuesday night.
For 17 seasons Mariano Rivera has put together a body of work that is unrivaled yet has been done in such a distinguished manner you almost forget he's a New York sports icon.
Eric Chavez, filling in for an ailing Alex Rodriguez, singled home the tie-breaking run in the eighth inning and the Yankees hit three homers off previously untouchable Alexi Ogando to beat the Texas Rangers 6-5 on Sunday night.
Freddy Garcia allowed two hits over six innings in his first start of the season, Mark Teixeira drove in three runs and the New York Yankees held off the Texas Rangers 5-2 on a bone-chilling Saturday in the Bronx.
Nick Swisher hit a sacrifice fly in the 10th inning and the New York Yankees rallied from a five-run deficit for an 6-5 victory over the Baltimore Orioles Thursday night to sweep the rain-shortened series.
Once upon a time, a closer would come in with two outs and the bases loaded in the seventh inning. He'd strike out the batter in dramatic fashion, shut down the opposition for the next two innings, and "save" the game for the winners.
Derek Jeter passed Rogers Hornsby for 33rd place on baseball's all-time list with two hits, and the Yankees' relievers held off the Twins in their first game since blowing a big lead to win 4-3 on Thursday.
Alex Rodriguez and Jorge Posada both hit a two-run homer, rookie Ivan Nova kept New York ahead and the Yankees made it another tough visit for Minnesota, beating the Twins 4-3 Monday night.
After three games Mark Teixeira is still on pace for 162 home runs. I'm betting against it, but a good start takes some weight off his notoriously slow-starting shoulders for a little while.
Perhaps Thursday's Opening Day win italicizes the new blueprint for the Bombers: get a solid six from your starter and end the game with a phalanx of fireball-hurling relief pitchers.
