There's a squirrel running up and down the screen on the leftfield foul pole at Yankee Stadium. The crowd loves it as they're chanting, "Lets go squirrel." Everyone with a camera phone is getting a picture. If the Yankees extend their 1-0 lead this inning, Steinbrenner may hire the rodent permanently.

Update: Alex Rodriguez hits a home run into the upper deck in leftfield to make the score 2-0. Give that squirrel a nut!

Update: The Yankees are finding the holes as singles by Cano and Betemit plate two more runs. Ichiro made a rare bad throw after the Cano single, thinking of coming home to get Posada, but then deciding to throw to third to nail Matsui and throwing the ball into the ground, allowing both runners to gain their base.
