Got A Question About HTML and Javascript

I've been noticing the ol' blog has been slow loading lately, and mostly it's because the browser is waiting on track.mybloglog.com. Welp, I figured it was either Sitemeter or Feedjit, but deleting the widgets didn't get rid of the mybloglog wait. Still there.

Mkay, so I tried checking it out in good ol' Sam Spade. Turns out its owned by Yahoo, so I'm sure it's just a rental - can't figure why Yahoo would give a crap about a Blogspot blog owned by Google. In fact, if you enter mybloglog.com in your browser bar, it redirects directly to Yahoo's home page.

So, I figured it must be one of my widgets in the sidebar redirecting, and then having it hang up for whatever reason. So, I went through each one and investigated every link to no avail. I did clean some of them out, just because they were basically dead - just as one that tracked Dale Earnhardt, Jr. No worky no more.

Mkay, so the next step would be the template for the blog. Sure enough, this is the script I found

{script src="http://track.mybloglog.com/js/jsserv.php?mblID=2008062914264221" type="text/javascript'}

I had to use large brackets instead of the less than and greater than symbols to get it to display on this page. Now, can I cut this out without any problems? Do I need to find an opening tag? It's stuck in below some footer stuff and the blogroll that I've labeled "Blogs I Read Regularly - the script is just above that, but not related to the LifeStatus widget. And then, WTF is it? It's not Google Analytics - that widget is actually at the bottom of the page and doesn't display.

Seems like I vaguely remember pasting something in the template for some reason or another, and this may have been it and it might be dead. At any rate, can I cut the damn thing out without breaking the blog?
