簡要翻譯一下

Eighty-eight games in, five games out of first place, three back in the
wild-card race. The Red Sox were bad at the beginning, battered at the end,
better in the middle.

目前落後北佬5場  外卡落後3場

Nonetheless, the Red Sox are on pace for 94 wins, very much in line with the
95 they set as a goal each and every season. Unfortunately, at this rate, 94
will leave them short of a seventh postseason appearance in the last eight
years.

就這情況看來，拿到94win應該沒啥問題  可是這邊信義區  要買帝寶拿個200萬
是不夠的

Once again using the All-Star as an opportunity to draw a very deep breath,
here is a look at what went right and went wrong for the Red Sox during the
first half of the 2010 season:

咱們來看看破襪的好壞

WHAT WENT RIGHT
1. The offense, specifically in the persons of David Ortiz and Adrian Beltre.
Entering this season, many of us thought the Red Sox would be in the market
for a left-handed bat at this time of year. Instead, they lead the majors in
runs scored and OPS – the latter against both left-handers and right-handers
– while getting great productivity from two relatively unexpected sources.

1. 攻擊方面，可能吃了張媽賣的藥，大肚還有被兒吹打得出奇的好。

In the case of Ortiz, he has experienced nothing short of a resurrection.
Last year, Ortiz ranked 45th among the qualifying 75 AL players in OPS. He is
sixth this year. His impact on the Boston lineup has been enormous. The Red
Sox appeared to have a relative shortage of left-handed power entering this
season, but they have generally outperformed the Yankees against right-handed
pitching. Ortiz is the biggest reason.

大肚上一季落賽  不過這一季復活了  也是破襪打擊能夠串連主要原因

As for Beltre, he entered this season as a career .270 hitter. He’s
currently sixth in the league in batting (.330) and 10th in OPS (.907),
leading all AL third basemen in both categories. With Evan Longoria and Alex
Rodriguez in that group, that is no small achievement. Furthermore, Beltre
plays absurdly hard – ask Jacoby Ellsbury or Jeremy Hermida – and has
excelled in the clutch. He has hit .432 with two outs and runners in scoring
position, .367 overall in any situation with runners in scoring position.
Huge.

被兒吹也是打得很好 .432兩人出局得點圈有人打擊率 .367得點圈有人打擊率
此外  他也是硬漢野球代表  不信可以問就靠杯

2. The bench. Even the Red Sox effectively told us they were concerned about
their depth this season when they termed this season a "bridge year." As
such, the Red Sox went out and built a major league club with a CBT payroll
approaching $175 million, the highest in club history. (That is the number
via the formula used to calculate the collective bargain tax – the CBT or
"luxury" tax). The idea was to make them organizationally top-heavy in talent.

2. 板凳深度。反正別人家都在想要蒐集公仔  我們只能撿人家剩下的。
   此外我們也利用一些方法控管咱們家的支出  畢竟港口又不在我們
   這邊，不會有錢飄過來。

Nonetheless, when the injuries came, the Red Sox had to turn to people like
Daniel Nava, Darnell McDonald, Felix Doubront and Scott Atchison, not to
mention Jonathan Van Every, Kevin Cash and Gustavo Molina. They won
nonetheless. Asking many of these players to continue producing is a bit much
– this showed in the final days of the first half – but the Red Sox already
have received more bang for the buck than they possibly could have imagined.

在大家一起去踢足球的時候，咱們可以馬上找到雜魚來打棒球。

Given the issues the Red Sox encountered, they could not have handled them
any better, which reflects well on the players, general manager Theo Epstein,
the baseball operations and scouting staff, and manager Terry Francona.

就目前來看這樣的操作手法是不錯的。

3. The development of Clay Buchholz. Once again, give the Red Sox credit here
for remaining focused on the big picture. They had lots of opportunities to
trade Buchholz. They resisted. Entering the All-Star break, Buchholz ranks
second in the league in ERA to only Tampa Bay’s David Price. Given some of
the other issues the Red Sox have encountered on their pitching staff,
Buchholz has been an absolute savior.

3. 巴寇斯的成長，好險沒有把交易出去。

Historically speaking, Buchholz’s turnaround is nothing short of
extraordinary. In his official rookie season of 2008, Buchholz’s 6.75 ERA
ranked among the worst of all-time for a first-year player. He was positively
dreadful. At last year’s trading deadline, opposing officials and scouts
deemed Buchholz no better than a No. 3 starter, a contention the Red Sox have
long disputed.

去年制服組內部認為巴寇斯頂多最好就是一個三號投手，
咱們家裡一向沒有把自己雜魚當成神的習慣。

While it’s still early, Buchholz is starting to look like the front-line
starter the Sox have been hyping. The development of his two-seam fastball
has allowed him to become one of the more efficient pitchers on the team,
making him both a winner and innings eater. Great story.

巴寇斯越來越威猛。

WHAT WENT WRONG
1. The injuries. There are injuries and there are injuries, and what the Red
Sox have faced this year borders on the preposterous. The barrage of mishaps
that hit the Red Sox near the end of the first half evoked comparisons to
2001 and 2006, when the Red Sox were hit so hard by injuries that they
effectively crumbled and fell out of contention. This epidemic has been every
bit as bad – if not worse.

1. 大家都跑去踢足球了，咱們亨利好闆真是好心，組了一支棒球隊
   又組一支足球隊。這也喚起我們01和06的記憶。

Whether Ellsbury, Hermida, Josh Beckett, Victor Martinez, Dustin Pedroia,
Jason Varitek, Mike Lowell, and others can still help this team remains to be
seen, though there is every reason to believe that the majority of those
players will be back. Still, the Red Sox began to teeter at the end of the
half and they will be on the road for a majority of the balance of July,
which will put additional strain and demand on the bench.

足球隊成員。

At some point already passed, the Red Sox began asking too much of Nava,
McDonald and Co. The Red Sox have slipped some in the standings as a result.
They may not get some of their bigger guns back for another few weeks, making
the balance of this month critical.

不能一直依靠雜魚，大棒還是要快點回來。

2. The bullpen. If you believe that bullpen ERA is a deceiving statistic –
 and maybe it is – then the Red Sox' relief ERA of 4.71 (13th among the 14
AL clubs) is not overly alarming. However, if you’re interested in winning
games, then you should take note of the fact that the Red Sox have 13 bullpen
losses, a number that places the Red Sox a mediocre seventh in the AL behind
Seattle, Oakland, Baltimore, Cleveland, Kansas City and Toronto.

2. 牛棚。請看一下置底文就知道了。

Take a good look at those six teams. All of them have losing records and they
are a combined 82 games under .500 at the All-Star break.

上面那幾支球隊成績爛到一個不行。和他們比有成就感喔?

Get the picture?

請想像一下，搭貓覽時候你敢說這邊地質最穩固，搭成貓覽最安全喔。

Combined this season, the Rays (five) and Yankees (10) have nearly the same
number of relief losses as the Red Sox. In a sense, this means that the
determining factor between the Rays, Yankees and Red Sox thus far has been
the team’s ability to pitch late in games. The Yankees are worried some
about their bullpen, too, but the bottom line is that the Red Sox have been
suffering in the later innings of too many games, which should make the
bullpen priority 1-A for Epstein approaching the All-Star break.

北佬和光芒上半季牛棚輸球數目總合和我們差不多。ㄐㄐ或許也該
擔心一下他們牛棚，也或許該找一下張媽了。

3. The John Lackey signing. No one is suggesting that Lackey is a bust,
because it’s way too early for that, but the Red Sox certainly didn’t pay
him $16.5 million a year to rank 44th among the 56 qualifying AL pitchers in
ERA. Already, Lackey basically has walked as many batters (46) as he did all
of last season (47) and opponents are batting .298 against him. Daisuke
Matsuzaka has outpitched Lackey by a sizable margin.

3. 江雷ㄐ的約。不該付給一個在56個美聯qualifying投手中排名44
   的投手一年16.5m，他的保送和被打擊率都很糟糕，連牛肉的致勝
   球種類都比他多。

Under the circumstances, there was the opportunity here for Lackey to make a
huge impression and step up in the absence of Beckett, in particular.
Instead, the Red Sox have gone a perfectly mediocre 9-9 in Lackey’s 18
starts, making him perhaps the most deceiving nine-game winner in baseball.
The Red Sox are focusing on the positive and emphasizing Lackey’s
competitiveness, but we all know it’s a results oriented business.

在北極不在時候江雷ㄐ要擔當一下責任，成為男子漢就要去念
男塾。

From the time the Red Sox signed Lackey, the decision seemed curious. For
starters, the Red Sox had plenty of pitching. Beyond that, they gave a
five-year contract to a pitcher who turns 32 in October. There is every
chance here that Lackey will turn things around in the second half. If he
does not, we’ll certainly have plenty to talk about over the winter.

簽下江雷ㄐ是一件詭異的事，他32了，又貴，不過簽都簽了，不
然你口交制服組阿。
