A new Taiwanese hero
ImageEarlier this week a young Taiwanese man became the Asian champion of a competition that didn't get much coverage here in his native country. While many Taiwanese were busy watching unfolding events in the Yankees camp or following the Asian Nine Ball Tournament, eighteen year old Hsu-Po Sheng donned his Spiderman suit and became...

Yankees put Chien-Ming Wang on DL because of hip problem
Chien-Ming Wang won't be back on a mound for the Yankees for at least the next few weeks, as the Bombers believe they have located the root of the righthander's problems.
Heroes - Made in Taiwan
When asked to list Taiwan’s heroes, many people automatically pick Taiwan’s sporting greats such as pitching ace Wang Chien-ming of the New York Yankees. To be sure, Wang is a genuine hero, having helped bring better awareness of Taiwan to millions of people around the world while breaking international baseball records. And Wang is not alone. Other sporting heroes from Taiwan include Kevin Lin, one of the most well known endurance athletes in Asia who with team mates, in February 2007 became the first modern runner to cross the Sahara Desert.

Chien-Ming Wang struggles as New York Yankees fall, 7-5, to Baltimore Orioles
BALTIMORE -- Through the first two games of the season, the revamped New York Yankees rotation has posted these unsightly numbers: 14.63 ERA, 17 hits, eight walks, zero strikeouts. Still, after the Yankees 7-5 loss to the Baltimore Orioles, manager Joe Girardi refused to show any signs of panic.
"We have 160 left," he said. "There's a lot of baseball to be played."
There's reason for hope. The Yankees started a season 0-2 for the first time since 1998, when they began 1-4. That team bounced back to finish with 114 victories, then an American League record. This team? Only time will tell.

Wang injured in Yankees win
HOUSTON -- The Yankees tied their season-high with an eight-run frame, but it came at a high price. Chien-Ming Wang was injured running the bases in a 13-0 drubbing of the Astros on Sunday at Minute Maid Park.
Wang had pitched five scoreless innings in a great paper matchup against Astros ace Roy Oswalt, but the right-hander hurt his right foot while scoring on Derek Jeter's two-run single in the sixth inning, limping home before being helped off the field.
With Wang hobbled, the Yankees kept pounding. Oswalt exited after 5 2/3 innings and Rodriguez rudely welcomed reliever Wesley Wright with a three-run homer, his 12th, giving Rodriguez 1,540 career RBIs and moving him past Joe DiMaggio (1,537) on baseball's all-time list.
Jorge Posada completed the Yankees' damage in the frame with a long two-run homer, his third. The outing was underwhelming for Oswalt, who allowed seven runs and nine hits, walking four and striking out three.
The blowout victory completed a three-game sweep in Houston for the Yankees, who moved four games above .500 at 37-33 for the first time this season. Wang pitched the first five innings, scattering six hits while walking none and striking out three.
Robinson Cano continued to respond after being benched on Saturday, going 2-for-4 with three RBIs. Rodriguez and Posada also drove in three and Johnny Damon had four hits for New York.
