Good pitching two days in a row?

I feel like a broken record, but isn't it just easy when our starters are on their game? At this point it is pretty much a given that Wang is a sure thing, and now Mike has turned things around. He may have lost his velocity in the last few years, but he is such methodical, smart pitcher that he knows exactly what pitches to throw to each batter. He has really risen to the occasion this year considering that at the end of last season we had taken him out of the rotation for pitching so miserably. Now he is 4-3 and has just picked up his 254th win. Good work Mike. Even better is the fact that Wang is 6-0. That ties him for 1st in wins in the Majors.

Of course, it is very encouraging to see us getting runs with A-Rod and Jorge out of the game. 13 hits today - 3 of which were from Johnny Damon. It was a historical day for Johnny as well as he picked up his 400th career double.

Tomorrow will be very telling with Darrel Rasner pitching. He's got a big hole to fill and alot on the line......hopefully he can use the pressure to his advantage. Seeing as though our two hopeful youngsters went winless in April - maybe this guy is the diamond in the rough we were waiting for. Hey, you can't blame me for wishful thinking.......
