The Drought Continues In Boston

On Wednesday night in Boston, the New York Yankees lost to the Red Sox for the 7th time in as many tries...

Chien-Ming Wang was unable to return to the form that made him a 19 game winner in 2007 and 2008...this was his second start in a row with lackluster results...tonight he couldn't make it out of the 3rd inning...he gave up 4 runs on 6 hits in 2 2/3 innings...

Was it wise to start Wang against lineups like the Rangers and the Red Sox, if building his confidence was the goal?

In my opinion, I don't think so...I would've had him make his first start against the Nationals next week...

Additional Notes:

Despite the early deficit, the Yanks mounted a comeback...in the 7th inning Johnny Damon and Mark Teixeira hit back to back home runs to make it a 6-5 game...unfortunately that's the way the score would remain...

Phil Hughes wasn't bad in relief--his only mistake a Kevin Youkilis home run...

Tomorrow CC Sabathia takes the hill with the Yanks still looking for their first win against their arch rivals...

Let's Go Yanks!!!!
