I don't recall Marquis giving up 6 runs in the 1st 3 for the Nats like CMW did in his 1st 2, and Marquis wanted to stay here his family in NY, which may account for the bad starts he's had. But Wang was magnificent last night, and may he continue to be so. To throw sinkerballs after shoulder surgery is unheard of, and may the medical miracle be confirmed in start after start!flynniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05231503307377716238noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3442809928829881676.post-41025062739206913342011-08-10T01:22:05.702-04:002011-08-10T01:22:05.702-04:00Good job, Wanger!Good job, Wanger!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3442809928829881676.post-55168395180824298842011-08-10T01:17:50.392-04:002011-08-10T01:17:50.392-04:00Wow what a great game.
