Wang Goes Wrong

I am not asking for a killing every game, but how about we make it a game. Last night, in Cleveland, the Yankees got their heads knocked off. Home run after home run showed the Yankees that Wang (of the sinking ball) may not be the ace everyone wants him to be. After losing to Beckett in Boston a couple of weeks ago, he followed up by losing to CC Sabathia. Not everything is Chien's fault, the Yankees should have knocked Boston's CC Sabathia out in the first inning.

However, we see Torre lost the X's and O's battle again, this time to a first time playoff manager, Eric Wedge. If you have a pitcher in the pen warmed up, use him if the starter can't get out of his own way. Everyone but Torre, the Yankees' coaches, and the TBS announcers saw Wang couldn't get his sinker down. Vizcaino was warmed up and should have been in the game, trying to keep it from getting out of hand would have changed everything.

Today becomes the NY must win game - you don't want to have to win 3 in a row, whether two are at home or not. The only good is New Yorkers can get some sleep and some of the kids can watch the game without moms gettting mad. This is due to the Yankees finally not being the prime time draw that Boston or the Cubs are.
