The Day in Review

The relative scarcity of injuries is a nice break from a ravaged April, and as the cold weather finally departs the trend should continue until the normal wear and tear on older players (or the youngest) starts to catch up to them. So, with no injury news, lets look at the notable performances so far this evening...

Notable Performance

• Ted Lilly struck out ten in seven, and having watched the game I can tell you that it was mostly due to location. The velocity has slowly returned, and he should be a good third guy in most fantasy rotations going forward.
• My roommate received four behind the plate tickets for the Halladay-Sabathia matchup today, and I must admit I'm jealous. Because he's an Indians fan, he had to be happy with the 9 K's in 7 innings of 1-run ball. He's had an ERA under 2 over his last 4 outings, with more than a K per inning.
• James Shields threw the best game of the day, giving up only a single to Brandon Wood and nothing more. The guy doesn't get nearly the respect he deserves.
• Pujols homered today. Would you trade A-Rod for him straight up? Good water cooler conversation.
• Cole Hamels has already given up four against the Giants, and I'm sure his owners are disappointed by what could have been a brilliant outing.

That's what you need to know about the day.
