A Bad Day for Jorge

Jorge Posada was back in the Yankees lineup tonight in Tampa and collected a pair of hits including a double.
It's his first action since taking himself out of the lineup prior to a game against the Red Sox after he learned that he was batting 9th. Posada should have felt fortunate to even be in the lineup since he was batting a dismal .165.
The Yankees dismissed it and the official word was that Posada "had a bad day."
While interviewed on Sunday night baseball on ESPN, Posada again said that he simply "had a bad day."
How about everyone getting a "had a bad day" mulligan. You show up to work, curse out your boss, throw something across the room and storm out. You come back the next day and everything is alright since yesterday you "had a bad day."
Or the lawyer of a murder suspect saying, "Come on, let's let it go. He just had a bad day."
Posada should worry about just getting hits instead of storming around because his ego is hurt that he's hitting a sickly .165.
Actually, he now has his average up to .179. Oh, he batted in the 7th spot in the lineup. If I were Joe Girardi I'd have put him in the 9th spot again to see what his reaction would be.
