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. 2) These pictures were taken two years ago at Old Timer’s Day.

They'll still probably win more than half their games, and they'll <i>look good</i>. Right, well, with any luck they’ll shorten up their swings and stop hitting home runs.

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. [45] Yes, do let’s stink up the joint!

I think we're .750 over the last 36 games. I could definitely stand another month of Not Very Well. [44] Man, I really hope we continue to play not very well.

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?
