It figures. The Yankees seem to start their roll and something bad happens...and not just kinda bad either; potentially SUPERBAD.

Regarding the game. Well, it was a blowout. The Yanks scored 3 in the 3rd when with 2 out (this would be a recurring theme), they loaded the bases for Jorge Posada who worked a walk to bring in a run. Robbie Cano then blooped a broken bat single over the defense to score two more.

The Yankees then scored 8 more in the sixth (again, all with 2 out) but that's when Chien-Ming Wang pulled up lame as he made his way around the bases. Watching it as it happened...well, it didn't look very good. There's been a lot of speculation about the extent of the injury but until the MRI comes back, we just don't know. It could be anywhere from a couple starts to a couple months to the rest of the season. Who knows at this point?

What we do know is that the Yankees are in a tough spot. They now have to really rely on Joba, Pettitte and Mussina to keep doing what they are doing and pray that Rasner keeps the pace that he's been on. The question of whether Ian Kennedy would have a spot in the rotation might have just been answered and you gotta hope that he is up to the task.

Naturally, this type of injury will cause the rumor mill to explode. You name a pitcher and I bet you that the Yankees will be thrown into the mix. Clearly C.C. Sabathia will be the main topic but the Indians are just 6 games back of the division leader (just one more than the Yanks) in mid-June. Are they really ready to give up on the season, especially with Fausto Carmona expected to begin a minor league rehab assignment next week? I doubt it.

And finally, how will this affect the Yankees morale? The team is finally playing well and have started to make a run. Hopefully, they can bounce back from this disappointment...however bad it might end up being.

In any case, the Yankees scored another 2 in the 8th and swept the series and maybe got some revenge for the 6 pitcher no-hitter the Astros handed them back in 2003.
