Another Yankee Embarrassment
Published 5/19/2008 by Brian at Depressed Fan
Coming up with different ways to describe pitiful performances is becoming tiresome. Tonight, the Wanger didn't have it, but again, it didn't really matter. Two runs is all the offense could muster, it all came on one swing of the bat from Matsui. ...

... Chien-Ming Wang fell apart after a promising beginning, the offense managed only three hits and Jose Reyes and Moises Alou combined to drive in six runs as the Mets spanked the Yanks 11-2 in the Bronx.  The Yanks actually caught a break in this one when Carlos Delgado's shot down the left field line was incorrectly called a foul ball instead of a three-run home run in the fourth inning.  But in the end, it didn't matter.  The Bombers have dropped eight of their past 11 games. ...

... Wang was at home, facing the also-struggling Mets, a place where Wang has excelled over his career. The result: his worst outing of the year, but also rather Jeckyl & Hyde-ish. ...
