New York’s Alex Rodriguez swung and missed, Detroit’s Jose Valverde danced and the Yankees‘ quest for World Series No. 28 was officially postponed to 2012 as the Tigers captured Game 5 in the Bronx.
After performing well enough down the stretch to earn a spot on the postseason roster, Jorge Posada hit .429 in the ALDS. You certainly can’t pin the series loss on him—other than his base-running blunder in Game 1, which the Yankees won anyway, Posada was fantastic.
So if Posada, whose disappointing season made him a prime target for criticism during the playoffs, isn’t the goat, who is?
