Cleveland Indians vs. New York Yankees 4/18/09

There isn’t much to say about this one besides, WOW. The Cleveland Indians beat the New York Yankees, 22-4. No, that is not a typo, the Yankees got beat very badly. In yesterday’s post I said Chin Ming Wang would rebound from his two terrible previous starts, but he did not. Wang was a star pitcher two years ago and this year has followed last years for the worse. He could not get out of the second inning after allowing eight earned runs on eight hits. The man’s ERA is now up to 34.50 and that is unbelievable. I normally like to go over the positive things the Yankees did in each game, but I have nothing to go over. On the other hand, there is plenty to discuss about the Indians. They had two players get seven at bats and their big inning came in the second when they scored fourteen runs. Cleveland hit six home runs in this game with two sets of back to back homers. All Yankee fans can hope is that they can rebound tomorrow.

Tomorrow, the New York Yankees play the final game of their four game series with the Cleveland Indians. They will be hoping to get close to winning after taking a terrible pounding in their prior game. The pitching match up features former Yankee Carl Pavano for the Indians against A.J. Burnett for the Yankees. This should be a great game as the Yankees truly need to win this one.
