Is that supposed to imply that we don't miss him? You're out on a limb with that one. Are you one of the people who thinks were REALLY going to miss Kyle Farnsworth as well? “While we all dispise Wang’s replacement, Sid Ponson, don’t forget that CMW had been getting pounded for more than a month prior to the injury.”

I'd rather see just about anyone out there instead of Ponson. Are you telling me that you rather see Ponson pitching than Wang pitching?

What? No, I didn’t say that at all. I’d rather see just about anyone out there instead of Ponson.

Hopefully, you are just kidding. Before injury, Wang basically had 4 bad games in a row. I am not saying Wang pitch good in those 4 games. But when you look at those 4 games carefully, three of 4 games Girardi simply left Wang in too long. These three games easily can go from terriblely to decently. The other one is Melky's costly error leading to those runs. On top of that, when you looking batting AVG and OPS against Wang and Ponson, there is no comparison between them. Ponson has been extremely lucky so far this season when you consider how many base runners he put on base. Of course, as a Yankees fan, I hope this magic won't disappear.

You can look at it that he had been getting rocked for over a month, or that he was clearly coming out of a funk and was returning to form when he got injured. I'd rather see it the latter way :) Buuuuuut, he also had strung together two very nice starts in a row.
