王與Moose互相擁抱

MIKE LIKES IT: Today's Yankees starter, Mike Mussina, hugs Chien-Ming
Wang (40) after the righty's complete-game two-hitter last night helped
the Yankees beat the Red Sox 4-1 in the opener of a three-game series at
Fenway Park.

NEARLY PERFECT AT FENWAY
By MIKE VACCARO


April 12, 2008 -- BOSTON - From the beginning, Jose Molina could see
what no one else in the Fenway Park crowd of 37,624 could see, because
he had the best view, squatting only 60 feet and 6 inches away from
Chien-Ming Wang's fingertips.
Everyone else could see that Wang was awfully damn good last night.

Molina knew he was even better than that.

"Put it this way," the Yankees' backup catcher told a couple of friends
outside the Yankees clubhouse, before facing the usual Bosox-Yanks media
scrum. "Tonight was a night I was glad to be catching him, and not
hitting against him."

Wang is already off to a beautiful start to the season, with a 3-0
record and a 1.23 ERA. Yet it's entirely possible - likely even - that
he could go the rest of the season, no matter how many games he wins,
and never approach the dominance and the craftsmanship he threw at the
Red Sox last night. Wang went the distance in a 4-1 victory, throwing
only 93 pitches and was literally one eyelash and one backside away from
possibly throwing a perfect game.

"He was at the top of his game," Yankees manager Joe Girardi said, "and
when he is, that's something to see, it really is."

It really was. Yanks-Bosox is always a marquee matter, and the first
meeting of the year always has something of a secular holiday feel to it
- even if the Sox were missing Mike Lowell and the Yankees were minus
Derek Jeter, even if the Yankees have spent the last week scuffling
against the upstart likes of the Rays and the Royals and the Sox have
been spinning their wheels while waiting for David Ortiz's painful
wheels to turn him back into the old Papi.

Nobody believes the newspaper this morning, which shows the Orioles
still clinging to first place in the AL East, which shows the Bosox in
last place, behind the Rays and the Jays in addition to the O's and the
Yanks. It's early. It's early. It's early. That's all anyone says in
April. That's all anyone is supposed to say in April.

Still.

"This early in the season," Boston manager Terry Francona said,
"everyone is still feeling each other out, seeing where everyone is
positioned."

Right now, Wang is positioned as the ascendant arm in the entire league,
doing what he did at a park that has given him little other than horror
and helplessness throughout his career. When he walked onto the field
for the bottom of the first last night, his career numbers at Fenway
Park looked like this: two wins, three losses, and an ERA (6.17) that
looked like the assists average for an average NBA point guard.

Then he blitzed through the first inning 1-2-3.

And he blitzed through the second inning 1-2-3.

And the third inning. And on into the fourth, when Alex Rodriguez made a
splendid play to snare a Dustin Pedroia scorcher down the line but then
threw too high, Jason Giambi's foot hitting the bag a split-second after
Pedroia's. It was ruled an error.

The perfect game was gone, but the perfection remained intact for
another inning, even as it seemed the Bosox were finally catching up to
Wang. Manny Ramirez hit a rope that Bobby Abreu caught up to in right
field. Kevin Youkilis hit another shot to right, and Abreu caught that
one, too. So when J.D. Drew smoked one to right, and Abreu drifted back
. . .

"I had it all the way," Abreu said. "It should have been my ball."

Would have been, too, but as Abreu jumped, his rear end collided with
the masslottery.com sign. The ball nicked off his glove, fell into the
bullpen.

"If we lose the game," Abreu said, "I feel terrible. As it was, I felt
terrible, because I thought it might cost him the no-hitter."

It didn't. The Yankees cashed in on some nine o'clock lightning, gave
Wang a lead, and the way he was pitching that was going to be plenty. At
the end, he looked unimpressed, as always. He was the only one.

"When he pitches like that," Molina said, "you think anything is
possible."

And for a while last night, anything was.
