speaking of "aces" with absolutely miserable peripherals that will be unable to sustain their current levels of success, it's Chien Ming Wang!
I think detroits inexperience will do them in in october...paving the way for the yankees to meet and beat the mets in the big dance
At least ARod got to breath a LITTLE sigh of relief with that RBI groundout... The fans are definately behind him.
Wang is like Derek Lowe, except hopefully not such an idiot. He's a one trick pony (with a power sinker being the one trick) and as long as he stays on top of it he just needs to rely on his defense to get outs for him. The trap that Lowe fell into (and that many other sinkerballers have as well) is trying to become a big strikeout pitcher and losing the ability to throw sinkers for strikes, which forces him to throw fastballs over the plate and get hammered. We'll see how Wang's career proceeds. In any case he pitched an absolute gem today, and all those choppers back his way will hopefully remind voters that Wang should be a serious gold glove candidate (if not the front runner for the award.) I mean, if Jeter can win 2 in a row can't we give Wang 1?
Fuck. Why : A)Wasn't Mo just put in to get it done? B)Why wasn't Dotel put in! Proctor is a workhorse... shame for putting him in.
Because he pitched 3 outs earlier today, and if you think it's dangerous to overwork Proctor then you certainly don't want to play with fire by overworking Rivera. Because Dotel isn't as good a pitcher as Proctor right now. The reason that Proctor was brought in is because he's the workhorse--this was supposed to be his reward.
