Wang Hit Hard
The White Sox are doing a good job of adjusting to Chien-Ming Wang's sinker. The hitters are going down to get the pitch, almost using a golf swing against him. They're driving the ball to the outfield and already picked up five hits, three of them doubles. Chicago leads 3-2 in the top of the third, and it could be higher if two men were not removed with base running mistakes.
Update: Alex Rodriguez answers in the top of the third with a two-run homer to give New York a 4-3 lead. That gives Alex 80 RBI for the 11th year in a row.

Wang was up in the zone tonight also... and just didn't have much in general (velocity and movement wise)
It wasn't just the hits. The Sox hitters made Wang throw 95 pitches in five innings, while Garcia settled down after giving up hits and runs early to pitch well through the 7th.
