View From The Seats: Yanks vs. A's, 7/24

It's 6-2 Yankees here in the top of the 8th. Andrew and I have watched Bartolo Colon once again revert to his 2005 form by holding Oakland to 2 runs and 8 hits over 7 innings. The Grandyman provided the big blow so far with a 2-run second-decker and there was also a pretty Granderson-Cano-Martin relay to end an A's rally.

But the main story (for me, anyway) has been the heat and humidity -- it's another scorcher in the Bronx. Hopefully we, and the Yankees, can survive and escape with a win. David Robertson is in now trying to do just that.
