Catching Up

Sorry this post is a couple of days late, but I've been a bit under the weather. As I mentioned in my last post, I was sitting in the left field bleachers as the Yankees completed their sweet, sweet sweep of the Red Sox. Chien-Ming Wang took a no hitter into the seventh, something that impressed me even more than it would normally because he didn't seem to have his best stuff. As I saw it from way out in left field, Wang had trouble hitting the bottom of the zone with his sinker, and the Sox were able to take it for a ball instead of grounding out the way most hitters do. Wang, however, was able to compensate with his four-seam fastball and his splitter. Its a testament to Wang's growth as a pitcher that he can still get guys out when he doesn't have his best stuff.

Here's a couple of pictures of the man in action:




I had a much better view of the Yankee bullpen, so here are pictures of Joba and Mo warming up:
