Red Sox defeat the Yankees – again!
Wednesday night marked a new low for New York Yankees in their old rivalry with the Red Sox. The game was its seventh straight loss against the Red Sox, the Yankees' longest losing streak against Boston since 1912, when the Yankees always are known as Montagnards.
The Red Sox won the game 6-5.
The Red Sox were able to claim the American League is four years 2004, and now it seems they have it in the fifth. The Yankees may have started the season with high hopes for the division championship and a lot of confidence against their rivals for a long time, but repeated losses appear to have stifled Boston in its totality.
"They definitely have the advantage of us now, "Yankees outfielder Johnny Damon admitted after the defeat on Wednesday night.
Sure.
The Yankees bullpen was absolutely overwhelmed with Chien-Ming Wang starting the main culprit. Wang, who led the team with 38 wins 2006-07 season and keeps a record of 46-15 through 2008, appears have lost control of the ball. In 17 batters he faced, Wang allowed to walk with nine bullets, management retreat to only 8.
"His slot arm everywhere, "coach Dave Eiland Pitching complained." Sometimes it's the right place, the next time it is too high, the next time is too low. If you have different niches arm, you can not control baseball. "
In other words, Wang has no idea where his baseball will end.
In the first inning, Wang had thrown 29 pitches, of these, allowing one run, but allowed three walks, including two that occurred one after another. The second round has 29 other locations, and Wang gave up two runs in a single and two doubles. He tried to recoup losses by striking out Kevin Youkilis and Jason Bay with the sliders.
Then in the bottom of the third, Wang gave Boston, Mike Lowell, then a circuit of visits authorized by David Ortiz and Mark Kotsay. He managed to strike out Nick Green before it was replaced by Phil Hughes.
In the last 5 star Wang has made a lasting only total of 13 1 / 3 innings. His long won fell from 14.46 to 14.34. It is unclear whether Wang will remain in the rotation.
"It's very frustrating for me," Wang admitted "I have not thrown a football game for a while."
But Wang is not the only player who deserves the finger. Team New York seems to have lost his accent. Alex Rodriguez was smooth in his last 13 at-bats and was 0-for-7 in the series. Derek Jeter has also increased from 0-for-7.
Yankees are now in a few flashes of light: Mark Teixeira, who added four hits on Wednesday – including a circuit and CC Sabathia, the big lefty Phil Hughes almost unhittable, which, in relief, beleaguered Tampa Bay on Monday, allowing only two hits in 63 pitches.
Sabathia is set to launch in Thursday's game against the Red Sox. He will face a lineup with the best base percentage in the AHL, while his team is facing a deadly disease Red Sox bullpen. Yankees are desperately hoping to avoid another sweep. About the Author
