Wright All Wrong

Wright walks the park, Yankees crushed 12-2

I had the distinct displeasure of witnessing yesterday's Yankees-Orioles game first hand. Things started out oddly enough when I saw the backhoes digging up the site for the new stadium. Holy slap in the face Batman.

Wright was awful - no two ways about it. Maybe he was overthrowing. The Stadium radar had him consistantly in the mid 90s. He struck Miguel Tejada out with a 97 mph fastball. That is about the only one he threw for a strike. Nothing is more annoying then seeing a guy not find the strike zone and Wright couldn't have found it if it were right in front of his fat, chaw-chewing face.

The game started out all right - home runs by Johnny Damon and Robinson Cano (whose warm up shirt I had on) gave the Yankees a 2-1 lead after 2. It was all downhill from there. There's no real reason to go into details of the game. I would rather than not relive it.

Needless to say it's one that has to be tossed out the window with the big 5 game series with the Sox starting today.
