Sorry folks, no funny Wang headlines as Wang was unbeatable last night for the Yankees against the Boston Red Sox. I know you were expecting the Red Sox to smack the Wang but his sinker was too much for them to handle. That’s the norm when a sinker ball pitcher is on. They are really hard to hit. When they aren’t on, they usually take a beating (ask Fausto Carmona about the ALCS).
