fix someone's wagon
-
To cause injury, distress, or inconvenience to someone, especially as punishment or as a comeuppance.
When Randy Gumpert went in to hurl the sixth the Yankees immediately fixed his wagon. Successive errors by Steve Souchock and Stirnweiss, the latter making his first misplay of the year at third base, put two runners on and both counted.
Syn: take someone down a peg, teach someone a lesson
