Life is good for New York baseball fans, no No OK.
Just a thought. Moving on… In Arlington, after watching Chien-Ming Wang dominate the Rangers in the final two innings of last night’s game, and Jose Veras pitch horribly, I’ve changed my mind. Put Wang back in the rotation, keep Phil Hughes there and switch Joba Chamberlain to the eighth-inning setup role. Nah, I’m just kidding! It amazes me how hot a topic this still is. Even the broadcasters were discussing it after last night’s game. Again, why do we think that Joba will magically transform from the good but not great starting pitcher he is now into the out-of-this-world setup man he was back in 2007 will miss a few days after bruising his right shoulder while running into a wall Tuesday night in Texas.
Over at Citi Field, I didn’t see Fernando Martinez neglect to run out a pop fly. Thanks to Richie G. for the alert. How bad was it
