Old Timer’s Day at the Stadium or “The Return of Tanyon Sturtze!”
Laughs and old men running around in costumes playing a boy’s game.
More heat. Boy, is it hot.
Phil Hughes follows as the Yanks try to break even against the White Sox.
Never mind the nostalgia: Let’s Go Yank-ees!
Love the picture of Swish and the Yankee ladies
1) Agreed. Ladies Love Cool Swish.
Kind of embarrassed to ask, but who is the old cool cat third from the top?
Missed the plate.
Damn, I was just looking at the all start rosters and was amazed that melky is hitting .350. good for him!
We might see 45+hits today at this rate.
this nobody out, bases loaded thing is a trap.
Aw Jeez.
i was kind of wishing i was wrong.
Nice porch shot by Eric.
Chavez!
Requisite HR hit for the win.
don'tcha know!!!
I was upset Robbie swung at ball 4 until that smash. Nice!
Nope, not seeing the ball well, Robbie.
nice play, eric!
once again, a nice quick inning for hughes!
crap. coltrane is really struggling at the dish...
Nice catch Robbie.
robbie is such a special player and sooo smooth in the field. i wish i got to watch him everyday.
nice work, phil.
i can't believe floyd's still out there.
our prayers are answered - we signed chad qualls. i guess maybe wade will be gone...
URP = unfamiliar relief pitcher
What's up with that, or is AJ Piershitz just being a shit.
wonderphil!
the color of the sox doesn't matter - this fucker is goddamn ugly and his sissy stance is as infuriating as his whining.
popped him up!
nice fucking stab, Tex!
8 terrific innings by hughes!
wonderphil!
YOUK!!!
haha!!! that was awesome!

Hello Thelarmis, seems lonely for you. Let's go Untucked of the North!

alexi
[33] just in time for the untucking, KB! : )
Nice tidy win. Phil locked it down after the 1st. Robbie did his thing. Cheers to the untuck.
UNTUCKED!!!
Untuck!
I'm getting fond of the untucking meme. Nice win, and after the way the game started, and unexpected great performance by Hughes.
hurray!
umm, so i've been out of the loop. why is soriano so intent on untucking his shirt?
The Yanks should have taken 3 of 4 this series, but the 2 game comeback was strong.
[40] That's his victory ritual. Like, time to relax. Now that he's been great as a closer, we're getting used to it, and looking forward.
[42] ah ok cool. michael kay was making a big deal about it the other day but didn't explain the why. thanks.
Baltimore is sinking like a lead balloon.
TB is lost without Longoria.
In 2 weeks, it will be us and Boston.
Somehow, while we have been Winning, I don't feel we have played really well. Our pitching has been very strong.
We hit a LOT of HRs.
And that has us on top of a Division where the 2nd place team is only 6 games over .500.
Yet we have a comfortable lead in the Division. I'm not sure how to feel going forward. If Teix and ARod are what they have been so far, that's not heartening. Jeter has been sub-par the last 8 weeks.
Is the core of this team Robbie, Grandy and Swisher... and our SP?
[44] Man, I really hope we continue to play not very well. I think we're .750 over the last 36 games. I could definitely stand another month of Not Very Well.
I missed today but watching the repeat of the pre-game...Darryl, Rickey, Bernie...
It's lovely to see them all.
[45] Yes, do let's stink up the joint!
But I know what OYF means, and share his sentiments. I, too, am surprised the team is playing as well as it is because it doesn't look like it's playing as well as it is when it plays well. And when you get to the fork in the road, take it.
Old Timer's Day! Have always wanted to go to one of these. Hope the guys kept hydrated, that heat wave looks serious.
Right, well, with any luck they'll shorten up their swings and stop hitting home runs. They'll still probably win more than half their games, and they'll look good.
[0] Tanyon Sturtze! I read Stump Merril was there today..no Alvaro Espinoza??
Chad Qualls?
Paul O'Neil is growing on me as a sidekick to Kay. Cone, O'neil, Singleton should be the rotation. Leiter, Pinella and Flaherty...they can go.
Wow, Cano's swing is just beautiful. Laser shot home run.
2) These pictures were taken two years ago at Old Timer's Day. The old guy was 100 years old and brought to the stadium that day as "the oldest living Yankee fan." I don't recall his name but he had a great face. And yes, the Yankee wives LOVED Swisher. He was pouring on the charm for them.
[54] Great photos.
My mother loves Swisher too. :)
