…tell your buddy Ed he’s dead wrong. Wang is garbage.

Send Wang to the minors and start Hughs. Don’t let Wang return until he pitches 9 innings of shutout ball and strikes out at least 12 in one game!

I don’t believe he can go back to the minors without clearing waivers, which will never happen…someone will certainly take him. Secondly, he probably won’t regain the confidence he needs pitching in Triple A.

How many more starts/losses do we give him, these 5 or 6 games he lost for us might come back to bite us in the ass in September.

Does it not, at some point, simply become too embarrassing to bear? Am I just lucky that i recognized it the very first game v. the Sox when Mariano let Jason Bay take him over the wall?

Where was that Home Run for the Yankees tonight? Or at least the single with a runner on second and one out?

Nowhere.

Remember what I say… This team has no heart. Are they not humiliated by the way they have let the Red Sox own them? Robinson Cano will N-E-V-E-R hit Jonathan Papelbon in the bottom of the ninth because to him it is just another at bat — and Jason Bay (or someone) will A-L-W-A-Y-S hit Mariano Rivera.

0-7. I never would have believed it — except for the fact i saw it with my own eyes the very first series of the year back in April. A pathetic joke. I don’t even watch anymore. I’ll re-convert when they are 8-7 v. the Sox. (ha ha ha). Go Joe! Go Dodgers!

they cheered for Manny and Ortiz
what a bunch of hypocrites

That’s 0-7 “YankeesJets” — and Wang has only started two of them. 0-7 against your bitter rivals. NO HEART YANKEES. What, am I’m supposed to believe YOU KNEW they were going to lose because Wang was on the mound? Okay — so go root for a team that KNOWS its going to lose against its worst enemy. Better yet — go root for a team that actually puts a pitcher on the mound against its bitter rivals KNOWING its gonna lose.

That’s right — go waste your time.

Its about heart. Robbie Cano gets bitch-slapped by Pap again in the bottom of the ninth. Doesn’t matter to him — he’ll be playing a week from now as a Yankee in some other city making big money with a nice batting avg. so what’s the worry?

OWNED. This group is OWNED by the Sox — and if that is tolerable to you then you are not a Yankee fan.

THAT’s what I know about baseball. You belong at CitiField.

New Yorker living in L.A. now for many a year. Used to bleed Yankees. Want a team to root for (okay — at least keep your eye on?) Watch what Torre is building out here with the Dodgers. Want to know what it is? Its the ’96 Yankees. Its painful for me to say it too — but The Dodgers under Torre play with pride behind great pitching and grinding at bats. AND THEY C-A-R-E.

The Yankees have become a caricature of themselves. Big and powerful looking — with nothing under the hood when and where it counts. They are baseball’s General Motors. They’ll roll over all the other avg teams in the AL and probly make the playoffs — then they’ll get booted by the real teams in the league — and they’ll NEVER get by the Sox. Yeah — painful to say it.

is probly not yours — so maybe we just agree to disagree — but my version of being a Yankee fan is Rule #1 “beat the Sox” — Rule #2 is everything else about a season.

Silly? Yeah — probably. But I cared very little in 2003 when we lost to the Marlins in the series. I was still on Cloud 9 over Boone’s bomb. THAT’s what i want out of the Yanks. i want them to compete — and I want them to lay it on the line against their bitter rivals.

0-7. That’s not competing. That’s slavery. Unacceptable. This is Sooooooooo NOT about Wang. Who are the other 5 losing Yankee pitchers?

More Pedroias and Bays and less Canos and A-Rods is the answer.

Speaking of Hughes, living here in L.A. I get a huge dose of L.A.’s version of “the wunderkind savior” BS when they talk about Andrew Bynum of the Lakers.

All the hype. But he hasn’t won a damn thing and even when he shows he hasn’t made a big dfrnce.

Phil Hughes is the Yankees Andrew Bynum.

 Well, lets just enjoy what we can of the regular season, leave the country when the “Red Sox” appear on the schedule, enjoy our “first place” finish because the Sox can’t beat Toronto and Tampa Bay — and then cringe when we get booted in the first round of the playoffs. At least we’ll be spared having the Sox eliminate us since we can’t play them in the first round.

Sad times.

he is just a number 3 starter in the AL central — mark my words. Tex? Wouldn’t judge him after a bad April start (and didn’t) cuz the guy n-e-v-e-r hits in April. Tex? NOW you are talking about the direction the team needs to go. He’s this team’s Paul O’Niel.

As for my faith in the team — gone. It sailed over the wall with Bay’s home run in Game One on the road to 0-7. I saw that it was the Sox that were the team that refused to lose to a team they hated. I saw Mo no longer had the answer. I’ve since seen Cano and most of the rest of this bunch never will.

So I have become a non-believer. Just glad Joe’s out here now. Very sad for me.

I’ve taught myself not to watch. I’m like Tom Cruse in “A Few Good Men” — I can’t handle the truth.

I take solace in Torre’s Dodgers — and I HATE the National League like you hate Red Bull.

Guess I’m still a New Yorker. But still…..

They have too much talent and too many other mediocre teams to play for them to fail. But they are now owned by The Red Sox — not even in the fight really — and to me that is enough to write them off.

i loved the old Yankees too much to tolerate 0-7 from these heartless mercenaries.

and yet somehow lose every game against the Red Sox…how would you rate the season?

Wang wasnt ready to be out there for this kind of game yesterday. I would have started Hughes and gone to Wang in relief if the right situation presented itself or he was needed to eat a few innings.

Earlier in the season his velocity was quite lower than usual. He was in the low 80’s to low 90’s. Last night he hit 96. His control simply is not there from what I can see. He threw maybe 3 sinkers for strikes and they were high sinkers. He walked three and was consistently behind in the count. It may be a confidence issue. He may be bat shy. I have no idea. Something similar happened the last year Kevin Brown was here. he just lost it completely. But he was 40 and obviously done. It’s to easy to say that if his sinker does not sink he’s in trouble. From what I could see last night his sinker was never a strike at any point in the pitch. It started low at the point of release and got to the plate almost in the dirt. That may be a release point issue. Vernon Wells once said that Wang’s sinker was so heavy and devastating that you could not get on top of it. Even if you knew it was coming you could not have hit it. That’ is what Wells said. Sometimes you have to hit rock bottom before you can start to get up again. If he has not yet hit rock bottom then rock bottom must be really far, far down. Part of it also that the Red Sox MURDER fastball pitchers if they’re not getting other stuff over (See AJ Burnett) and Wang threw lots of those last night. Straight fastballs. His velocity is such that he could get away with the 4-seamer if he’s throwing his change-up and slider for strikes. He was not. He was a one-speed pitcher.

 This is racially offensive statement by Yankeesjets. I mean I will admit Wang sucks and he is probably finished. Criticize him for his performance not based on his race and this statement by Yankeesjets is what it is hurtful and unAmerican to alot of Asians in this country. Even if this statement was a joke it was a crude and demeaning one. The fact there is still discrimination in this great country makes this statement wrong not wang.

  I dont hear people say 2 longs dont make a right. Freedom of speech? Tell your boss you think his wife is a whore and you will be fired the next day. Freedom of speech is not absolute yell fire in a movie theatre and see if you dont get punished. Slander and defame someone and see if you dont get sued. Yes this is American. Why dont we say 2 rons dont make a right. When Lidge plays a brad game get it? Now let me think would Brad Lidge appreciate that? You have the right to speak to a certain extent and I have a right to be offended, obviously your not Asian so of course your not offended. This is not about PC is about respecting other people’s race and culture. Could it be possible that someone might make the inference that the statement was demeaning ?

  From the perspective of an Asian, a group that sometimes is treated badly, disrespected, not considered american enough still in this country, could it be at least conceivable that an Asian might feel slighted? We can make this country better when we put outselves in another’s shoes. I ask you be respectfully when you write, but your right you can say whatever you want, and anybody can get feedback.
