 Johnny Damon. |
 Derek Jeter. |
 Mark Teixeira. "Alas, poor A-Rod! I knew him, Sabathia..." |
 |
 Jorge Posada. |
 |
 |
 |
 Robinson Cano. |
 |
 |
 |
 Joe Girardi and Peter Gammons. |
 |
 "Hee hee! He's funny. He thinks his team will win one of these games!" |
 Swap C.C. and A.J. and you might have nesting dolls. |
 CC can nest in his own sweatshirt, though. |
 Phil Hughes. |
 Quite the expressions on A.J. Burnett and Andy Pettitte. |
 |
 |
 |
 Andy is pensive. |
 LOLdefense... |
 Of course, he knows what to do... |
 ... get rid of the evidence! |
 |
 I don't think I've ever taken such a glum shot of Nick Swisher. |
 C.C. dresses like he might gain 20 pounds overnight. (Not that I don't sympathize.) He's a big guy, but his clothes are crazy big. |
 |
 |
 Chien-Ming Wang. |
 |
 Mark Kotsay and Mike Lowell. |
 |
 |
 John Farrell, Tim Wakefield and George Kottaras march in. |
 Jeter's laughing. I think Kottaras is making fun of his shoes. |
 |
 |
 |
 Sorry, Johnny, the old guy's faster! |
 Alex Rodriguez. |
 |
 Lowell looks displeased... |
 ... and a little wary of either the fans or the Yankees dugout. |
 |
 |
 |
 J.D. Drew. |
 Not really a pitch Drew's gonna swing at. |
 |
 |
 I would think Posada's trying to clean off the lines in the box, since Youk generally hits the back edge... |
 ... but by the time he's done, the box is basically gone. |
 Kevin Youkilis. |
 |
 |
 |
 |
 Jason Bay. |
 |
 |
 |
 |
 |
 Posada jogs home after his HR. |
 Dustin Pedroia and Hideki Matsui. |
 Nick Swisher. That's as good a way as any to go after the knuckleball, I suppose... |
 |
 Wakefield after not getting the call on the close play. |
 |
 Georgie, smoldering. (More, please...) |
 |
 Nick Green lopes in after Kottaras doubles. |
 Mikey Lowell with a solo homer. |
 |
 |
 |
 |
 |
 |
 |
 |
 |
 |
 |
 |
 Sure looks like the ball will beat Drew... |
 |
 |
 ... but fortunately for us it was off line. |
 |
 |
 Next April, maybe? |
 Ramon Ramirez. |
 |
 |
 |
 Whoops--JD can still knock 'em out. |
 |
 |
 Teixeira touches home... "Where'd everybody go?" |
 |
 Can you imagine the trouble this lot could get into? |
 (Neither can I.) |
 Hideki Okajima. |
 |
 Jonathan Papelbon gives Kottaras his instructions. (Georgie looks like a cartoon character standing up to a fire-breathing dragon.) |
 Consultation later in the inning; George looks more critical. |
 Success! But... "Jon? Not here, sweetie..." |
 |
 |
 |
 |
 Paps does not look very excited about the hit to the midsection he's about to take from Ortiz. |
 |
