If we felt [Posada] was our best option, ... we'd bite the bullet and take our chances.

In all fairness to him, it's probably the best thing. He'll probably be wearing a grey uniform a lot.

[You don't even know what you would call this grammatical two-step. (Fourth person? First person once removed?) But you hear coaches and player do it all the time.

We've got to decide, how much replay do we want? Because if you start doing it from the first inning to the ninth inning, you may have to time the game with a calendar.
