Im leaning towards Wang who had a good regular season. I had Joba in the pen in relief since mid June as he struggled as a starter for me. I had Hughes as a starter in place of Joba and he has been lights out for me the entire season. I lost Hughes in the ALDS against the Angels with a separated shoulder. I used Joba in Game 5 of the ALCS against the Red Sox and he pitched great giving up only 3 runs in 7 innings (by far his best outing of the season). I like to use Wang because of his sinker.

Im leaning towards Wang right now.
Well guys, Game 4 didnt go as well as I wanted it to. I went with Wang and he pitched great until the 5th inning. I ended up loosing Game 4 by the score of 9-7. The Yankees staked Wang out to an early 4-0 lead. Damon hit a 2 run shot in the first and Nady hit a 2 run shot in the 3rd. The 5th inning chased Wang out of the game. After giving up 1 run in the 3rd and the 4th inning he gave up 5 runs in the fifth. I ended up tying the game in the 7th inning on a 3 run HR from Swisher. But in the 8th i gave up back to back jacks to Wright and Delgado.
Speaking of Delgado, he pulled a Reggie Jackson on me. He hit 3 HRs in Game 4 :-) After giving up 2 HRs to Delgado, I brought in Marte to face him (lefty-lefty matchup) and I was thinking of pitching around him but pitched to him instead and he made me pay big time.
The series is now tied 2-2. Im going to pitch AJ in Game 5 (he will face Redding) and I will use CC in Game 6 (he is scheduled to face Santana)
Damn, having Delgado crush 3 HRs against me in the WS hurts. I actually had a hard time falling asleep last nite :-) Oh well, got to go out and win the next game. I don't want to be down 3-2 having to face Santana in Game 6.

Much better outcome for me and the Yankees in Game 5. AJ pitched great giving up no earned runs through 8 innings. He didnt get the shutout (The Mets scorred on a throwing error by Jeter in the 6th inning that sailed over Tex's head and into the stands for 2 bases) Next Abreu singled Delgado home. Redding pitched well for the Mets and I was only able to muster up 3 hits off of him through 6 innings. The Mets were up 1-0 by the time the bottom of the 7th rolled around. Tex singles to start the inning. Arod hits a slow roller to Wright and he fires to 1st for 1 out. Next up Matsui who crushes a 2 run shot over the center field wall. The Yanks are now up 2-1
Fast foward to the 9th inning and I bring in Mo to close the game. Delgado is up to lead off the 9th inning and he is facing Mo (Flashback to Game 4 and Delgado's 3 HRs) It is safe to say that i was nervous. I throw him a cutter on the outside and I got him to pop up on the first pitch for the first out. Next up Beltran who singles up the middle. Beltran on first and Abreu at the plate. I eventually got Abreu to strike out and I got Castillo to hit a deep fly ball to Damon in CF. Game over and onto Game 6 in Citi Field where CC will face Santana. Yanks lead the WS 3-2 but have a tough game against Santana.
NOTE: Santana's ERA in the playoffs is .92 so I have my work cut out for me

Well I fell again at the hands of the D-Backs. Was up 4-0 by the fifth inning they rallied to tie it 4-4. fast forward to the ninth pinch hit mark reynolds comes in and smacks a 2 out 0-2 count homer to right field, i lose.
Edit:i cant hit to save my life so i fast forward my batting, using all star diffculty default sliders. i can't hold them off ever
