Everyone's entitled to a bad day.
Jorge Posada of the New York Yankees had one earlier in the season when the now designated hitter reportedly begged out of the lineup when he was dropped in the batting order.
Posada eventually shook off what he saw as a slight and manager Joe Girardi handled the situation with grace and class, wisely not creating red meat for the New York press corps to sink its teeth into.
Girardi's patience and Posada's talent have eventually won out, judging by Posada's awesome six RBI performance in a rout of the Rays Saturday.
Posada, who belted his 10th career grand slam in the win, is a Yankee legend and it's great for New York fans to see the usually classy warrior excel again.
Girardi may not be considered a top skipper in the game, not at this point.
He can take credit for his fine handling of the Posada matter, though, especially considering the pair were not exactly best buddies before it happened.
Girardi is squeezing the talent out of his players, and Jorge certainly juiced one.
