View From The Seats

Greeting from the big ballpark in the Bronx. In a pretty empty Yankee Stadium (it was a Stubhub special tonight with prices dropping into the $1s and $2s), have moved around, now in Terrace 308, row 3 (where that picture comes from). Curtis Granderson, Mark Teixeira and Nick Swisher have all hit deep (and high) home runs and Jorge Posada had a triple (?!) to give the Yankees a 9-2 lead.

Phil Hughes hasn't been great and has labored on the mound, making Andy Pettitte's recovery even more important. At least Hughes' innings limits won't be tested tonight (though if it's based on pitches, he could be pushing it). The Yankees luckily have knocked around New Jersey native, Vin Mazzaro, which has gotten the A's bullpen going here in the 4th (Boof Bonser?!). With both the Rays and Red Sox currently losing, this could turn out to be a big night for the Yankees.
