On the Road to 300 Wins
Published 4/23/2008 by Nick-YF at YFSF
... Chien-Ming Wang won his fourth game of the year, and the 50th of his career. The last pitcher to get to 50 in such short time was Dwight Gooden or "Doc" Gooden as he is better known in Taiwan.

Steve Goldman of the Pinstriped Bible think it is: As the Yankees have struggled to a .500 record in the early going, the focus on how to "fix" the team has focused on the pitching staff. . . . Yet the offense has also been a disappointment, and it's something that the Yankees can improve far more easily than they can the pitching, starting by benching, trading, or releasing Jason ...
