Last night, in the first home game at the Stadium since the death of Thurman Munson, Jorge Posada paid tribute to the old Bombers’ captain.  How? He fixed a small number 15 to his catcher’s mask in honor of Munson.

According to Jorge, “I just wanted to give a little tribute.  Thurman is special to me. It’s one night; hopefully I don’t get fined for that. I just wanted to let everyone know I was thinking about it.”

File that one under “Adorable.”

If Posada was looking to pay tribute to Munson, his fourth inning three-run shot in last night’s 13-6 — wait for it, wait for it — VICTORY against the Chowdas didn’t hurt either.

It wasn’t exactly what you’d call a pretty victory.  Joba struggled — walking seven and pitching from behind all night.  However, as previously established, at the end of the day, it doesn’t matter how you play the game, it’s if you win or lose.

 Take is from someone who knows.

File that one under “Abomination.”
