How can something so Wang feel so right?

(Sorry, I couldn’t resist. And this from the girl who has a running beef with writers who choose titles like, “David’s Got The Wright Stuff.”)

The point, however, is that Wang is back in our rotation.  Supposedly, so is his sinkerball. On behalf of those of us who have been pacing the floors and tearing our hair as we’ve watched Wang languish in the bullpen this past week, can I get an “Amen?”

I’d like to say that no one is happier than I am about this development, but it wouldn’t be true.  Jorge Posada, apparently Wang’s number one fan, is elated beyond all measure.  He commented, “Wanger is our number 1.  He’s still, for me, the number 1 pitcher in this league. I think he’s proved it, he’s been there…he’s our guy.” You’ve heard the same from me, but since a lot of people seem disinclined to take my opinion as gospel, hopefully Jorge has cleared up any doubt. If you’re not listening to Jorge, I don’t know who you’re listening to.

Phil Hughes would likely fall into the “not-so-elated” category, seeing as that he’s the one who’s been eliminated from the rotation in onrder to make room for Wang. But Hughes isa good sport, which we like. He claims he saw it coming and that he “took it fine.”

I’m glad to hear that, but at the risk of beating a dead horse, there are others I would have picked before Hughes to clear out of the the rotation. You know who I’m taking about. Starts with a “J,” rhymes with baba. I hate to stoke the flames of a new controversey, but if people remain committed to not going in that direction, there remains another option: Starts with a “P” and rhymes with shmettitte.
