The Ecstasy And The Agony

March 15, 2012

Today’s Yankees-Nationals game went in that order for C-W Wang.

Here’s the ecstasy.

And now the agony.

The Wanger looks like he’s doing a variation of the downward dog pose I do in yoga. Poor guy. At least he didn’t suffer another Lisfranc thing but rather a strained hammy. Still, I feel for him. He should be one of the elite pitchers in baseball by now, and yet he’s been derailed by injury after injury.

Speaking of which, I guess Pena suffered a sprained ankle in the game? So if Nuneee is out with his aching hand and Ramiro is hobbled by the ankle, who’s our backup infielder? Please not Bill Hall.

At least Pineda was pleased with his changeup and the Yankees won. Woohoo.

    I was very upset about Wang getting hurt. He’s been struggling for a long time now.

    His story is such a sad one, Freya. What promise he had. I hope he can bounce back and finally pitch with consistency and health.

    I feel for Wang too. He’s got the stuff to be one of the better pitchers in the league, just addicted to being injured. It would help his cause if he learned how to run.

    You make an excellent point, Jeff. It’s his running that’s gotten him into trouble on at least two occasions – well, and tripping over bases. He’s had arm/shoulder problems too, but who knows which came first.
