Was the Posada flap a distraction from winning, or from the actual state of the 2011 Yankees?
The blowup that occurred when Jorge Posada chose to take Saturday's game off rather than suffer the indignity of batting ninth, and Brian Cashman responded by holding an in-game media availability to criticize Posada for it, surely felt familiar to members of the media who have been covering the Yankees long enough to remember George Steinbrenner's tirades.

(2)George Steinbrenner and the philosophy of losing badly
Steinbrenner wanted championships and spent for championships and when he did not get them he was capable of behaving quite badly.
