Nice Posey article in the Washington Post
One night this week, with his San Francisco Giants in the middle of a gripping playoff race, Buster Posey came about as close as is humanly possible for a position player in the team sport of baseball to winning a game single-handedly.

Although Posey didn’t arrive in the big leagues until May 29, and didn’t take over the starting catching duties until July 1, he already has 16 home runs and 64 RBI in only 405 plate appearances, with a dazzling slash line of .323/.370/.524. His .323 batting average, in fact, represents the highest by a rookie catcher (minimum 50 games at the position) in history, just ahead of Mike Piazza’s .318 in 1993.

I especially liked the part where they revealed Posey was Bob Woodward’s primary source on the Watergate story.
I picked the wrong day to quit sniffing Matt Cain.
For all we know, he may have also written out the Giants’ lineup card, prepared the postgame spread and driven the team bus back to the hotel.
I’m sure he did because Buster can do it all.

Screw you Flannery.
