That Posada crib must a house of guilt trips n' attitude. This is no unusual thing. Some pitchers do better with certain catchers. You would think, by now, that he'd only be considered with scoreboard.

scuds - don't forget Girardi caught for Jimmy Key in '96 , posoda caught for pettite, cone , rogers ...etc if i remember correctly ....their is some history between manager and player here as well

i would bet that cash was asked for input here and they didn't want thier pitcher not to have his guy behind the plate in game 2

And if it goes to game 5 and Burnett is pitching, what do you do then?

Matsui has been so good, that it's tough benching him at all during the series. I personally think that Girardi should tell Burnett to man up, be quiet and pitch to Posada.

if joe had not been a catcher similar to molina ......bobby v would tell him what you say but that catcher's perspective plays out here

Oh, it's done (they have to use Molina.)
