Posada Pie (Yanks 6, Blue Jays 5)

Yes, we can add Posada to the short list of face pie recipients this year. With his walk-off single in the bottom of the 12th, in what looked to be the toughest of these four games with the Jays for the Yankees to win, Jorge made sure that the Yankees could not lose this series, and that they would reach 14 games over .500, their best mark to date, while maintaining pressure on the suddenly average Red Sox. The Yankees are one game away.

It could easily have been two games. Roy Halliday started this one, but never found his rhythm against and red hot Yankees bats on an emotional Lou Gehrig day in the Bronx.

Halliday lasted more than six innings but was outpitched by Chien Ming Wang (video here), who gave up the lead when his shoulder problems flared up again.

So instead of Wang, the man of the hour was Posada. Of course, we knew his pie in the face would come. Posada, after all, is an old-school Yankee champion. Now I think it's Jeter's turn...
