Actually, it's more like a driving range. After tonight's eight-out stagger-fest versus the mighty Red Sox (aka "the other Yankees -- the ones with a good ballpark"), Chien-Ming Wang is 0-4 with a 21.61 ERA as a starter (14.34 overall). And that, folks, is the worst ERA after 5 starts in a season in the history of Major League Baseball. Don't sell yourself short, Judge -- you're a tremendous slouch.Can he be traded for Vicente Padilla? Loaded into a cannon and fired straight at Kei Igawa? The Yankees better figure something out.
"Let's go, while we're young!"Though I'm no Yankees fan, I honestly hope Wang can get his mechanics straightened out and at least stay in the Majors. It's still too much fun to fire off Caddyshack quotes at the bar when there's a game on TV with Wang pitching.
Well, at least it's fun for me, if not the other bar patrons.
"Whew, the last time I saw a starting pitcher like that, he got the hook in the third inning. You throw a game like that, I bet ya get a free bowl of soup! Oh, he looks good in pinstripes, though!"(Note: Is Mr. Wang's IMDB page not the most cryptic of all time? No other credits... and no real name? Remember when Conan O'Brien went looking after the actor who played Grady Wilson? I think we here at T!!! are going to have to do the same with elusive "Dr. Dow.")

Dr. Dow? I love his production work with NWA and Snoop Dogg.
Your not the only one who enjoys a good Wang reference:
