Nov. 5 11:05 AM PT12:05 PM MT1:05 PM CT2:05 PM ET7:05 PM GMT3:05 AM 北京时间-Posada earned his fifth World Series title as the Yankees beat the Phillies 7-3 in Game 6 on Wednesday for their record 27th championship.
Analysis: The 38-year-old Posada batted .260 (13 for 50) with two homers and eight RBIs in the postseason. This title was won with manager Joe Girardi, who split time with Posada at catcher in the 1990s.
Sep. 29 10:06 AM PT11:06 AM MT12:06 PM CT1:06 PM ET6:06 PM GMT2:06 AM 北京时间-Posada sat out Sunday's 4-2 win over Boston due to muscle spasms near his neck. He's feeling better.
Analysis: Jose Molina took his place behind the plate Saturday and Sunday. Girardi said Posada's trapezius muscle had tightened up, preventing the switch hitter from swinging freely from the left side.
Sep. 23 1:33 PM PT2:33 PM MT3:33 PM CT4:33 PM ET9:33 PM GMT5:33 AM 北京时间-Posada has no broken bones in his foot after fouling a ball off his toes.
Analysis: Posada played the entire game Tuesday despite fouling the ball off himself in the fifth inning of New York's 6-5 victory over the Los Angeles Angels. The Yankees sent him for X-rays on Wednesday morning after his foot developed a bruise, but they were negative, according to manager Joe Girardi. Posada is batting .283 with 22 homers and 79 RBIs in a strong comeback season for the 38-year-old catcher.
Sep. 16 3:04 PM PT4:04 PM MT5:04 PM CT6:04 PM ET11:04 PM GMT7:04 AM 北京时间-Posada and Jesse Carlson got into a scrap near the New York dugout, leading to a frenzied, bench-clearing brawl during the Blue Jays' 10-4 victory over the Yankees on Tuesday night.
Analysis: Toronto's Edwin Encarnacion and All-Star second baseman Aaron Hill were hit by pitches before Carlson threw behind Posada in the eighth inning. Posada glared out at the mound and appeared to say, ``You don't want to do that.'' Carlson motioned toward Posada as the benches and bullpens emptied, though the teams never got close to each other and order was quickly restored.
Sep. 4 12:47 PM PT1:47 PM MT2:47 PM CT3:47 PM ET8:47 PM GMT4:47 AM 北京时间-Posada had four hits, homered and drove in four runs Thursday in a 10-5 win over the Blue Jays.

Analysis: Posada's .246 average against AL Central foes is his worst against any AL division. The Yankees have only three more games against the Central this year.
Aug. 27 2:24 PM PT3:24 PM MT4:24 PM CT5:24 PM ET10:24 PM GMT6:24 AM 北京时间-Posada hit a three-run homer in the Yankees' seemingly effortless 9-2 victory over Texas on Wednesday's.

Analysis: Posada was set to start at catcher and bat sixth Sunday in the finale of a three-game series against the Chicago White Sox. He hadn't played since leaving Wednesday night's game against Texas after getting hit by a foul ball that bruised his left ring finger. X-rays were negative.
Aug. 26 10:33 AM PT11:33 AM MT12:33 PM CT1:33 PM ET6:33 PM GMT2:33 AM 北京时间-Posada homered and drove in three runs in the Yankees' 10-9 loss to Texas on Tuesday.
Analysis: At 38, Posada continues to produce. He has seven RBIs in his last four games and 16 home runs for the season, giving him a good shot to reach 20 for the eighth time in his career.
Aug. 15 8:16 AM PT9:16 AM MT10:16 AM CT11:16 AM ET4:16 PM GMT12:16 AM 北京时间-Posada doubled and scored New York's first run on a groundout by Jerry Hairston Jr. in the second inning Friday in a 4-2 win at Seattle.

Analysis: Posada had gone 4 for 22 (.182) with nine strikeouts over his previous eight games. He's hit eight of his 12 home runs this season at hitter-friendly Yankee Stadium after totaling only three homers in 51 games overall in 2008.

Jun. 3 10:39 AM PT11:39 AM MT12:39 PM CT1:39 PM ET6:39 PM GMT2:39 AM 北京时间-Posada's 3-for-5 night included a three-run homer and four RBIs as the Yankees beat Texas 12-3 on Tuesday.
Analysis: Posada has seven homers in just 96 at-bats, and five of them have come at home. He seems to be benefiting from the new Yankee Stadium and as long as he is healthy remains a great fantasy play at catcher in any league.
May 30 11:00 AM PT12:00 PM MT1:00 PM CT2:00 PM ET7:00 PM GMT3:00 AM 北京时间-Posada had two hits Friday in a 3-1 victory over the Indians in his return to action.

May 29 3:36 PM PT4:36 PM MT5:36 PM CT6:36 PM ET11:36 PM GMT7:36 AM 北京时间-Posada appears set to rejoin the New York Yankees. The All-Star catcher played six innings Thursday in an extended spring training game, then said he was scheduled to fly to Cleveland to meet up with his team.
Analysis: Posada has been sidelined since straining his right hamstring May 4. The Yankees open a four-game series with the Indians on Friday night. "The hamstring is feeling good," Posada said. "I'm happy with everything. The most important thing was just running, seeing some pitches and getting the timing down."
May 2 10:39 AM PT11:39 AM MT12:39 PM CT1:39 PM ET6:39 PM GMT2:39 AM 北京时间-Posada hit a two-run homer and had a game-winning, two-run single in the bottom of the ninth in Friday's 10-9 win over the Angels.
Analysis: The Yankees are hoping Friday's comeback win will propel them to bigger things, and Posada is hoping for the same. He had only two RBIs in his previous nine games after driving in 12 in his first 11.
Mar. 22 1:01 PM PT2:01 PM MT3:01 PM CT4:01 PM ET9:01 PM GMT5:01 AM 北京时间-Posada threw out three of four runners attempting to steal second base in a minor league game on Sunday, a step forward in his recovery from right shoulder surgery last July. The veteran catcher had been unsuccessful in four previous throws - three to second and one to third - this spring training.
Analysis: Three of the baserunners were inserted into the game by Pittsburgh's Triple-A Indianapolis team to give Posada the opportunity to make throws. After Gemmy Gonzalez stole second on the first attempt, the catcher then threw out Brian Friday, Shelby Ford and Gonzalez. "Now you know you can trust your arm again,'' Posada said. "That's the only thing I wanted to do - come out of spring training knowing you can throw somebody out and trust your arm again."
Mar. 15 3:45 PM PT4:45 PM MT5:45 PM CT6:45 PM ET11:45 PM GMT7:45 AM 北京时间-Posada caught for the first time since right shoulder surgery last July in a 5-1 win over Minnesota on Sunday.
Analysis: Posada played four innings, but didn't have a baserunner attempt a steal against him. He had been limited to designated hitter duties before Sunday.
Feb. 28 10:09 AM PT11:09 AM MT12:09 PM CT1:09 PM ET6:09 PM GMT2:09 AM 北京时间-Posada was scratched from the starting lineup for Saturday's game against Minnesota because of minor soreness and weakness in his surgically repaired right shoulder.
Analysis: Posada was the scheduled to be the designated hitter before being dropped from the lineup about an hour before gametime. "I'm not concerned at all," said Posada, who had shoulder surgery July 30. "I wanted to play to tell you the truth. I don't feel it hitting."
