    Yankees' Star Sucks. . .

    I think they should spend another $100 Million to try to fix things. The New York Post has a headline calling them the New York Stinkees. rofl

      I always laugh at how the Yankees Pitchers perform each year despite their stacked lineup. They will never win another World Series for a while because it wont be just Wang who is doing terrible.

      Coming soon...

        Does anybody think he might get put down to the minors? Or is that too soon?

        I hope they move him down to the minors. It is pretty clear he needs to get things worked out.

        I knew this was going to happen. Now I just laugh at the Yankees.
        You knew Wang, who was 8-2 last year before getting hurt, would come back this year and have a 34.50 era in 3 starts? I doubt it.

        Where did you hear that?

        The Yankees never have a stacked pitching lineup. That is almost always the weak point of the Yankees.

              The good thing about losing 22-4 is that it only counts as ONE loss.

              The Yankees are 6-6 right now after yesterdays debacle. The Red Sox are 5-6 and Tampa is 5-7 yet I don't see or hear anyone talking about how "bad" they are doing.

                The Yankees will always get more shit because they spent $400 Billion this offseason. Not something anyone should be surprised about.

                  Exactly. I'm pretty sure that the Yankees expectations weren't to be 12-0 at this point. Obviously they weren't to be at 6-6, but they're in front of the Sox and Rays right now, so it's not all bad. And that's from a Sox fan.

                  Wang does need to be sent to AAA, just for a start or two.

                    im still happy we're 6-6. 3 out of those losses are when wang decided to give up 70 runs a game

                      your 12 games into the season, its april, pitchers are still trying to get into a groove. Its not like they've played every day like the line-up. Pitchers have only had 2-3 starts. Never get too worked up unti; June.

                        It's him. 7-6, 3 of the losses have been blowouts, and all were Wang.

                        Wang's problem is that if he keeps the ball up, he's easily hittable. If not, he's not hittable at all. It's a very fine line on which he's on the wrong side of.

                        Yanks lost their first series, won their next two, and tied this one. While I'd've liked them to have 2 more wins at this point, it's nothing to worry about.

                        Personally, I think Wang gets one more start (and, given that they're off Thursday AND playing in Boston this weekend, I wouldn't be surprised if he gets skipped this time through), and then Hughes comes up.

                          baseball is pretty much an individual sport. IMO there isn't much team chemistry needed.

                            No it is pretty much a team game because the players form a team but that is it. You don't have to like anybody to go out there and do your job and it won't affect anyone else. Just because your a dick in the locker room isn't going to make a player go up to bat and think of how much he hates you instead of thinking about getting a hit.

                              Not true, look what Manny did to the Red Sox last year. He was pretty much tearing the club house apart. If he stayed and continued to be a distraction I do not think the Red Sox would of made the playoffs.
