I'm up to May 28. We are in second place, right behind the Chicago White Sox and just in front of the Tigers. Forgot to note the exact record, but we are either 21-15 or 22-14. Thing is we are very close to the Yankee's actual record at that time in 61. Right now we are in a trend, where when we lose it's because the bats get completely shut down and we can't score. Mentioned yesterday getting shutout by Jim Bunning. Gary Bell shut us out as well. Ralph Terry is 4-3, but has a ERA in the 1.50 neighborhood. Whitey is 6-3 and probably hates me, as I'm so scared to pull him out of a game. I've been using Luis Arroyo a lot out of the pen. Right now he's on pace to throw 94 innings, so even with my high usage he's not on pace to reach is real life 119. Maris finally hit another home run, giving him 5 or 6. He's hitting below .250 at this time. Mantle has 9 home runs. I'm falling in love with Moose Skowrun. Dude always seems to come up with the big hit.
