Wang Can't Make It Right

I've always liked Chien-Ming Wang. Probably because he's given the Yanks more than expected. When he came up in 2005 no one knew who he was. I mean, how many Major League ballplayers come from Taiwan?

The problem is that when his mechanics are off, he is terribly hittable. As was the case yesterday. Several times a year there will be games where he can't get the sinker down. And when he can't get the sinker down he doesn't have much else that he can get hitters out with.

Personally, I feel he lacks a killer instinct. When he gets two strikes on a hitter he has no desire to sit them down. There is really no reason for him to have such a low strike out rate. He throws in the mid 90's. Sometimes you just have to put a high hard one in there and challenge a mutha fucka. Kevin Brown had a great, hard sinker too, and he was able to get his share of K's.

Well, hopefully AJ Burnett brings his "A" game tonight. Although, after seeing CC & Wang the last couple days, I'd settle for AJ's "B" game or even his "C" game.

We CAN NOT GET SWEPT BY THE ORIOLES. Anyone but them.

We're making Nick Markakis look like George Brett. Fuck that.
