Jorge Posada apologized to manager Joe Girardi, general manager Brian Cashman and his team's fans on Sunday. Posada pulled himself from the lineup a day prior after seeing that the Yankees manager had put him ninth in the lineup. The designated hitter wasn't in the lineup on Sunday either, but he pinch-hit for Andruw Jones late in the game and drew a walk. "I kind of apologized to him," Posada said. "I had a bad day. I had a bad day [Saturday.] Reflecting on it, everything, all the frustration came out. I'm trying to move on." Girardi appreciated Posada's effort. "We had a nice conversation," he said. "We talked about being emotional, and going through struggles. What defines who you are. Just a lot of things. He apologized. He said he had a bad day yesterday. And I said 'Jorge, I've had bad days too, and I've done stupid things.' I'm not saying what he did was stupid, but I did things that I wish I wouldn't have done. And you have to live with them, but it's what you do after, and you move forward. "I know you have a passion and a love for this game. I know you want to win and you want to play forever. But the reality is we don't play forever and that you need to enjoy your career in the midst of that." Posada and Cashman disagreed on how the news of Posada asking out of the lineup was handled. Cashman, in an in-game meeting with reporters Saturday, said that Posada had no injury. Posada, and people close to him, including his wife on Twitter and Facebook, said he had a stiff back. "It's just one of those days that you wish you could have back," Posada said.
