Speaking of "W," he actually lost it. Let me explain.

Please recall a while back that I had awarded him a "w" for decent work when the pressure was off of him. Hence, he was called at that time "F****w***h."

1998Y - is he going to lose the F or the h?

Neither. He has lost the "w" and, as you have confirmed, he is now back to "F********h."
And I will repeat: He has neither the head nor the heart to be a setup man, much less a closer. Witness how he immediately went south as soon as the Chamberlain decision was made. The gremlins re-entered his head as soon as the expectations of him went up again.
Enough about him. Wang has to be the real concern at this point; hopefully it's just a slump they all go through. He has been too excellent in the past not to cut him plenty of slack for now.
