It was apparent early that Chien-Ming Wang didn’t have it lst night . He was giving up flyballs, always a sign of trouble for him (reminder:SINKER), and missing his spots. Despite that, he could have escaped the initial damage if his defense had helped him out. Bobby Abreu made two bad plays in the outfield and Jorge Posada and Alex Rodriguez couldn’t complete a rundown. Suddenly, it was 4-1 and things got worse after that.

Inexplicably, Torre sent Wang out to pitch the seventh inning of a close game and by the time he left and Luis Vizcaino came in, it was 7-1. The Yankees got a run back in the bottom of the inning, but Vizcaino and Sean Henn combined to give up seven runs in the eighth to put the game completely out of reach.
