Yanks to Bypass Wang for Series in Boston

This, according to Bryan Hoch of yankees.com:

“The biggest thing is that we get him right,” [manager Joe] Girardi said. “That’s the bottom line, we’ve got to get this guy right. He’s too good of a pitcher to pitch the way he’s pitched these three games.”

“The confidence is still there,” Wang said through an interpreter. “I know what I can do. I just haven’t pitched up to my ability yet. Hopefully I can get my groove right.”

Andy Pettitte, whose Monday start was pushed back by rain, will start on Tuesday versus Oakland.  CC Sabathia will face the A’s on Wednesday.  After an off-day on Thursday, the rotation versus Boston for the weekend will be Joba Chamberlain, A.J. Burnett, and Andy Pettitte.

The Yanks are in a bit of a bind with their struggling sinkerballer righty.  He is out of options, and the Yanks are forced to keep him with the big league club or else face the near certainty of losing him in waivers.

Wang has given up 23 runs on 23 hits in six innings over three starts this season.

Also, scores are up.

Use the “Bronx Brass Classic” link in the “pages” section on the right.

The columns on the individual team scores are little screwy, they are in order but the offset happened when I uploaded them to Google Pages.  In English, nothing I can do about it.  The numbers are correct, it just looks stoopid.

Nate McLouth’s numbers aren’t appearing.  When I figure that out I’ll post the update, probably just have his name wrong.  Also, I have to watch that the worksheet I use pulls the numbers for the correct LaRoche.
