All is right with the world

I hate soccer, but the euros have one thing right. Team play for position in certain leagues.

Play poorly and get demoted. MLB should consider the same thing. There are too many teams as it is. The talent is spread too thin.

After inexplicably stealing Game 1 of their series, the Orioles returned to their form and the Yankees returned to theirs.

I'd like to think a catcher is a catcher, just a dude who sits behind the plate and waggles fingers, but the Yankees have consistently pitched better with first Jose Molina, and now Francisco Cervelli. AJ Burnett looked unhittable last night, and there's something about Cervelli's energy that must be contagious.

Jorge Posada is a borderline Hall of Famer, but the results are undeniable. Considering Nick Johnson's inability to do more than strikeout looking, maybe it's time to ease Posada into the DH role. We all know he can still hit. Have him catch two games per week and let Cervelli handle the bulk of the duties. Posada would benefit from rest and so would the pitching staff.
