BOMBERS TAKE IT ON THE CHIEN By GEORGE KING
PACK IT IN: Derek Jeter and the Yankees headed for home last night after
losing three of four games to the Devil Rays in St. Petersburg.

May 6, 2005 -- ST. PETERSBURG -
In Chien-Ming Wang's language, the word is "lang."
Hideki Matsui's countryman use "warui."
The Spanish translation is "malo."
And in English it's "bad."
Lang. Warui. Malo. Bad.
Pick one when describing the Yankees and you can't be wrong.
It's official, the Yankees are this century's "Worst Team Money Can Buy." And
there isn't a soul breathing that can argue that after the Yankees were
beaten, 6-2, by the Devil Rays last night in front of 16,662 at Tropicana
Field.
That's three straight losses to the Devil Rays for the 11-18 Yankees who are
tied for last place in the AL East with the Devil Rays.
"The way we are playing we deserve to be in last place," Derek Jeter said.
Ask Bellamy Road, George Steinbrenner's Kentucky Derby favorite, to measure
the Yankees and he would find a way to say, "Horse manure."
Ask The Boss? Good luck. Yesterday he told his PR firm he wasn't talking.
Today Steinbrenner leaves for Churchill Downs while his Yankees' miserable
season continues in The Bronx, where the natives are looking to extract their
pound of $200 million pinstriped flesh.
Joe Torre held his third (and the Yankees' fourth this year) meeting before
the game, and it resulted in three mental mistakes and a two-run, seven-hit
outing against Mark Hendrickson, a lanky lefty they normally punish.
"Now we are out of things to say," said Jeter, who called a player's only
meeting. "You can talk all you want, you still have to play the game."
And play it well, something the Yankees don't do. Wang threw to the wrong
base in the third. Trailing by three with one out in the sixth inning, Jorge
Posada got caught off second on a grounder to third. Robinson Cano failed to
cover second on an Aubrey Huff steal in the seventh when Posada's throw to a
vacant bag was perfect.
"Everything has been talked about, now it's time to go out and play baseball,
starting with the little things," said Alex Rodriguez, who dropped a foul pop
in the fifth but wasn't charged with an error.
In his second big-league start Wang was serviceable but was hurt when he
couldn't keep the fastball below the knees.
"I got the fastball a little bit up," said Wang, who surrendered five runs
and eight hits in six innings.
Wang wasn't great but he was the highlight because Hendrickson limited the
Yankees to the two runs Gary Sheffield's fourth homer produced in the fourth.
The last time the Yankees were in the cellar this late in the season was
1995, when they were 20-29.
Devil Rays leadoff hitter Alex Sanchez went 3-for-3, scored four runs, swiped
two bases and homered off lefty Buddy Groom. Not bad for a player the Tigers
released in spring training and the Yankees passed on when Bill Emslie, the
de facto head of Steinbrenner's Inner Circle in Tampa, recommended the
Yankees pass because of Sanchez' makeup.
"We are being tested right now," Torre said. "There is no magical formula."
Just Lang, Warui, Malo and Bad. And if you stop by Bellamy Road's Churchill
Downs barn, "Horse manure."
