Yankees manager Joe Girardi announced before Thursday's game that Chien-Ming Wang will start on Wednesday against the Nationals at Yankee Stadium in a do-or-die outing. "As I told him, it's important that he has a real good start," said Girardi, who later added, "this is not a developmental league." Girardi said he made the decision after sleeping on it and watching Wang's outing on videotape. "I don't think the man has forgotten how to pitch," he said. "His velocity's back, we feel that he's healthy . . . we feel he's close." |
