« Possible FedEx loophole the talk of the range at the Deutsche Bank | Back to Main | It's Tiger's party, and he'll show if he wants to »

The cheers in the eighth certainly weren't for the Yanks

Posted at 2:33 PM by Anne Szeker | Categories: Tiger Woods

Tiger Woods, who's in town to promote his new video game, EA Sports' Tiger Woods PGA Tour 09, made an appearance at Yankee Stadium Tuesday night right behind home plate as the Bronx Bombers faced the rival the Boston Red Sox.

The Yankees didn't quite play up to Tiger's standards, losing 7-3, and the world's No. 1 golfer limped out of the stadium during the eighth inning to a round of applause from the surrounding fans. It was one of the few chances Yankee fans had to cheer.

I wouldn't be surprised if he also stopped by to watch his pal Roger Federer, who is in town for the U.S. Open. Maybe he'll run into his good friend Sergio Garcia, who was on the courts yesterday with fellow Spaniard Rafael Nadal. Perhaps they can arrange a friendly game of doubles?

Comments

Even with two bum legs, i still take Tiger in three sets over Sergio. Garcia will in turn blame the wind, then sun, then the Earth's rotation for his loss.

Doubles with Tiger, Roger, Nadal, and Sergio? That's two chokers and two guys with bad knees.

Tiger never misses under pressure. A Rod always choke in clutch. Yanks gonna miss the playoff, and I can't wait to see steinbrenner's pig face.
