Stat Tracker/Yankees/Mets Games Updates

Going with the semi-live updates, here's your up-to-the minute updates:

7:29 - Michael Kay states that A-Rod is a "much better" hitter from the 5-hole, "...for some reason." I can think of one reason -- less pressure. Exhibit 576: Abreu is on 2nd, Giambi is on first, it is 3-2....

7:30 - Strike 3. Advantage, Steel.

7:33 - Boston-Detroit, 0-0 after 2, Schilling coming back for more shortly. One strikeout so far.

7:36 - Al Leiter is rambling about Greg Maddux and his "vintage" stuff. Why does Al Leiter have a job with the Yankees? He was a Yankee killer last year, and he was on their staff. I thought George Steinbrenner had former players who played poorly executed. Anyone seen Raul Mondesi recently? Why can't they just have Paul O'Neil on all the time? I think it would be terrific if he slammed his headset on the ground after giving the incorrect stats or mis-pronouncing a name.

7:40 - Switching to the Mets game, Shane Victorino hits a 2-run triple, taking a couple of RBI's away from Utley and Howard. Awesome. Utley steps up, Ry Ho on deck.

7:43 - Utley down on strikes. Lame.

7:45 - Ry Ho flies out to left.

Due to bad luck and fear of civil action from Bill Simmons, we will now stop the time-stamp portion of the draft. Does referring to myself in the third person open me up to potential lawsuits from every other blogger?
