Wang's Home Debut

Mark Teixeira hit a two run shot to right in the first, his 3rd on the season. Our boy Chien-Ming Wang is off to another bad start. Through 1.1 innings he's already allowed 4 runs, three of them due to a Shin-Shoo Choo home run. He's allowed 6 hits so far. He needs to get his game straight or we'll have some trouble. Stay tuned for more updates.

Update: He's now let in 7 runs. We're still only one out through the top of the second.
Update: Anthony Claggett was brought in to relieve Wang. Apparently the Yankees sent Juan Miranda back down to triple A (after he was called to the bigs yesterday) to bring Claggett up.
Update: Claggett gives up back to back doubles to Hafner and Peralta. Then walked Choo. This isn't going well....
Update: We're now down 14-2, thanks to an Asdrubal Cabrera grand slam and a Grady Sizemore home run. This is one of those days I wish that we'd never let Dan Giese go. He pitched 2.2 innings for Oakland, letting in 2 earned runs, but that's a helluva lot better than Claggett.
Update: We finally got out of that half inning...after 14 runs...a bummer of an inning. The only bright news is that Claggett's two outs were both strikeouts. Just trying to find some type of silver lining. Don't be surprised if we see Swish take the mound again at some point today. I personally say let's send Jose Molina out there. He's a catcher, he's got a good arm. Why not? Maybe Melky could throw? Who knows...
Update: Interesting. Yankees.com says Juan Miranda was sent to triple A, but Gameday says he's on the bench...
Update: Let's just never talk about this game again.....
