Will Wang start to pitch better with men on base? Torre almost called in Guidry to pitch yesterday because he over managed the bullpen, so he needs a strong performance from Chien Ming. I would have let Chacon pitch to Mirabelli instead of pulling him in the fifth. I know he was terrible, but it's Doug Mirabelli, not David Oriz.
