Jorge Posada to follow Barney Frank's lead and retire

The Democratic party took it up the tail pipe, when long time Congressman Barney Frank retired.

Now, we are learning that long time Yankee Jorge Posada will be announcing his retirement very soon.

We stopped one guy on the streets of NYC to ask him what he thought.

"Posada and Barney had similar careers. They were both catchers, were in the spot light, and spent a lot of time on their knees." said Danny Bronson a retired pretzel vendor.

We also asked ourselves what we thought of Jorge's retirement.

"I think he made the right decision." said Bronx Goblin, the funniest blog on the planet. "The guy played hard and won us some championships."

Congratulations on a great career Jorge.

There goes our big ear jokes.
