King of the Hill....

Well, as you all might know by now, Chien-Ming Wang had his best performance on the young season against the A's yesterday. Wang pitched 8 innings, giving up 3 hits - all singles, 0 runs, with 2 walks and 0 K's. The key to Wang's success was his consistent sinker - getting multiple ground ball and double play outs, as well as some great defense behind him. Wang's performance received rave reviews from opponents and teammates alike:
"He's one of the toughest pitchers we've faced this year. He's got so much movement on his fastball." - A's 2B and leadoff man Mark Ellis
"Wang was the star of the day. He threw the ball incredibly; the best he's thrown all year." - Alex Rodriguez
"It was a great pitching performance." - Johnny Damon
