Wang to Get Another Start

Joe Girardi announced today that Chien-Ming Wang will pitch next Wednesday against the Nationals.  Girardi made it sound like this could be Wang's last shot before the Yanks make a decision to remove him from the rotation.

I just have this to ask -  Can the Yanks afford to lose a game against a team they're suppose to beat?  And, as bad as the Nationals are - they can hit the ball.  I hope this doesn't bite the Yanks in the ass.
