Wang relieves Mussina before he starts ... huh?

Mike Mussina was originally scheduled to start Game 4 tonight.

He basically did, just an inning late.

That's because the Yankees had such low confidence in the Moose that they rushed Game 1 starter Chien-Ming Wang back out onto the mound on short rest.

Wang got knocked around like a pinata in Game 1.

Same thing started to happen tonight, with two runs surrendered in the first, and two more given up by the "ace" without making an out in the second.

So that plan was scratched on the fly, and now Mussina is in the game.

Wang's 2007 playoffs work is likely done, and he finishes the job with a stellar 19.67 postseason ERA.

Oh, the Yankees and the playoffs ... priceless.
