22-4 was the absurd final score at the new Yankee Stadium this afternoon. After a Texiera homer gave the Yanks a 2-0 lead in the 1st inning the Browns, er, Indians bats came alive in the 2nd inning. 17 men batted, 13 recorded a hit, 3 men homered, and a ridiculous 14 runs were recorded, tying a Cleveland Major Professional Baseball record for runs scored in one singular inning. Obviously a strong combination of good hitting and simply terrible pitching by Chin Wien Wang and his “relief” pitching. Counts only the same as every other game and tomorrow is a new day; indeed one that seems to favor the Yankees (Burnett v Pavano on the mound). But its still quite wonderful fun to have a day like that! And against New York no less!

I don’t think the Yankees should send Wang down, but I do think his next start should be skipped.

Take a look at this video

You can see Wang’s mechanical problems (However I do not think it is an injury). In the video they are comparing 2008 to the second inning of yesterday’s game. But, if you compare his mechanics from the first inning ( http://newyork.yankees.mlb.com/media/video.jsp?content_id=4208415 ) you can see that his mechanics are the same from 2008 to the first inning yesterday.
