It feels almost like checkmate.
Yankees right-hander Chien-Ming Wang again pitched poorly on the road Thursday night in Game 1 of the AL Divisional Series, losing to the Indians 12-3.
Left-hander Andy Pettitte faces a difficult matchup in Game 2 against a Cleveland lineup that mashed lefties all season.
And heaven knows what the Yankees can expect from righty Roger Clemens when the series returns to Yankee Stadium for Game 3.
If Clemens had been healthy, the Yankees perhaps could have saved Wang for Game 3 at home, where his ERA this season was more than two runs per game lower than it was on the road.
The downside of that plan, which the Yankees kicked around before knowing their opponent, was that Pettitte would have opened against the Indians, who are 32-17 in games started by lefties.
Too bad the Yankees couldn’t add Bobby Fischer to their post-season roster.
Owner George Steinbrenner and his minions won’t want to hear it, but as the wild-card entry, the Yankees might simply be overmatched in this baseball version of chess.
Check: Wang was brutal in Game 1, allowing eight runs in 4 2/3 innings.
Check: Indians righty Fausto Carmona, who finished second in the American League in ERA, will oppose Pettitte in Game 2.

if there is a god or, at least, a god of baseball, the yankees should wind up playing the red sox.

i just thought it was funny that a swarm of insects descended on the pitchers mound and messed up Joba’s concentration.

torre is to blame for not taking joba out earlier and cashman is to blame for having shit in the pen after joba and mariano.
