Wang very impressive yesterday, the best in quite a while. Was that a 4-seamer that broke back over the plate to lefties? If he ios back in top form, thats a big plus.

We wonder if Giardi, who is a thinking mans manager, at least by reputation, while go against conventional wisdom in his use of relievers. Every manager is a slave to the ridiculous "save" rule-- coming in with a three run lead qualifies. We were hoping for the Yanks to score 1 or two in the seventh to see if giradi brought back Joba in the eighth, rather than go with his lefty reliever and save Joba for another day. the first manager to use his top relievers intelligently, i.e. when there are men on in late innings, will have a big edge.
