Chien-Ming Wang's Fifteen Best Games
I think last night's game against the Mets would rank as the 7th best pitched game in Wang's career, to date. Here's my personal "Top 15" list for Worm Killer Wang:
1. July 28, 2006
2. May 5, 2007
3. June 6, 2007
4. May 12, 2006
5. August 2, 2006
6. August 30, 2006
7. June 17, 2007
8. June 18, 2005
9. June 13, 2006
10. July 3, 2005
11. July 8, 2006
12. April 16, 2006
13. September 22, 2006
14. May 16, 2007
15. June 12, 2007
Not too shabby a list for a guy with just 61 career starts to his name, so far.

I don't know what you're using for criteria. But since you said it's your personal list, I would personally add June 6, 2006 (that was the "Melky Catch" game). Numbers-wise it might not add up with the others, but his performance always sticks in my mind. I remember it being a big game (like there are any other kind of games against Boston) and he was getting knocked around the few games before that.

I used "Game Scores" for the list, FYI.

Chien-Ming Wang was a beast last night. He was throwing friggin' 96mph SINKERS that were seemingly governed by earth gravity times ten. He also showed that his slider can be a nasty complimentary strikeout pitch. If Wang starts striking people out in addition to inducing choppy ground balls, he may be a perennial Cy Young Award candidate.

The man is just getting better and better, unbelievable.
