I concede… hours after I said Wang is pitching like a 2-3 starter at best, he almost pitches a perfect game. That-a-boy!

I was at the game yesterday and around the 5th inning (due to being in my own world of watching the game with no announcers in my head) we all just started looking at each other.
In the 7th when Wang came back from a 3-0 count to K Ibanez one of the friends I brought to the game (a relocated Phillies fan) started jumping up and down and screaming.
He was ready to see history. And it was his first time at Yankee Stadium.
Posada is second guessing himself for that changeup but it was still pretty cool to watch that game – with the electricity of the crowd and Wang with a fake nail on the middle finger of his pitching hand.
And we needed those 8 innings from a starter.

it is said the hardest thing to do in sports is to hit a basesball. i would think it is more difficult to throw one so they don’t. just a guess.

Oh may bad. Kasey Negative Nancy was out all day today bashing the Yanks and everything they did. An almost perfect game and you cant keep him down.

Its surprising that the “Quitters, Yanks are done,Season is Over Guys” are not out in force tonight. Wondering where they are????

Who knows what would of happened after that pitch to Broussard but it was a really bad time for Posada to call for a changeup. Wang needed 5 more outs and Posada is calling for a pitch that Wang had not thrown 1 of all game!!?? He should of went with what got Wang that far. As Guidry said you have to get beat on your best pitch.

I’m waaaaaay late in this discussion and don’t know if it’s already been pointed out, but Wang also throws a changeup, and he rarely throws his four-seam fastball. That’s a typical repertoire for a starting pitcher (fastball, slider, change). Wang does pitch to contact, though, which is why today’s performance was such a surprise. Same thing with Kevin Brown, who actually did throw a no-hitter.

Odd comment from Wang about not striking enough people out — he hasn’t been throwing the sinker that long, and he was more of a strikeout pitcher before he became a sinkerballer.

“Losdif is entitled to his idiotic opinion. did you guys hear about tim mccarver and joe buck talking about the perfect game!!! WTF!!! you cant do that i hated them before they just brought my hate to a new level”

It’s done all the time. Sterling did it for Wells and Cone. Didn’t jinx them. It’s their job to talk about what’s going on in the game.
