For yesterday's season finale, Jorge was named the honorary manager and Mussina was named the honorary pitching coach. Jorge then picked Andy Pettitte as his bench coach (apparently he initially intended to get Jeter) and Ron Villone as his bullpen coach, once Mo had turned him down. Bryan Hoch, Kat O'Brien, Peter Abraham and Mark Feinsand all have write ups. From Hoch:

"It was fun until I got here today and they told me all the 'Joba Rules,'" Posada said. "I'm honored. A lot of guys have done this and they've done a [heck] of a job. I hope to win the game. That's the most important thing."

Torre has annually selected one player to take the helm for a day at the conclusion of the regular season, and normally it has been a player expected to leave after the year -- last season, Bernie Williams fulfilled the duties for a day.

But this year provided a tough choice for Torre, who said he had to entertain numerous options before settling on Posada. Mike Mussina was tabbed as honorary pitching coach, while Posada appointed Andy Pettitte as his bench coach. Ron Villone was named bullpen coach.

O'Brien:

Posada can be pretty funny. He went out to the dugout to do his pregame interview (as Torre normally does), and Tony Pena made some smart-aleck remark, and Posada quickly opened his interview session by announcing, "I've fired my first base coach (Pena)." At the end of the session, he said he had decided to rehire him.

Abraham:

... His pal Derek Jeter was supposed to be the bench coach but was replaced by Andy Pettitte.

"He was a terrible manager. There were a lot of problems that we're going to keep in-house for now," Jeter said. "He was awful.
