: THERE'S WANG WAY TO REACH PLAYOFFS
: Jay Greenberg
季後賽‧王者之道

: July 9, 2007 -- IF you do the math, the min imum 95 wins it has taken to
: secure an American League postseason berth each of the last six seasons
: will take a 53-24 finish by a team currently 42-43.

如果你動手算一算，面對近六年來美聯季後賽基本所需的95勝，目前42勝43敗的洋基隊，
下半季必須要衝出53勝24敗的成績。

: So Joe Torre's advice to his Yankees, who happen to be 42-43, simply is
: not to do that math.

所以Torre建議他的隊員們，別在意這個數字了。

: "Don't concern yourself with cutting the lead here and there," he said.
: "It's all about our record.

"不要成天想著我們又拉近了多少勝差。"他說。"一切只和我們自己的紀錄有關。"

: "We need to maintain a level of excellence. Everybody can go out there and
: win a series here and there. You make yourself special by making sure you
: give yourself a chance to win."

"我們必須要維持一個優異的狀態。每個人出去比賽，然後努力贏得一個個系列賽。
當你總能給自己個機會獲勝時，你就是獨一無二的。"

: Behind Chien-Ming Wang, who has come out of a game before the seventh inning
: only once in 15 starts and failed to deliver a quality start only twice
: in his last 13, Torre had to like his chances yesterday, even against his
: Angel torturers, whose usual bamboo shoots under the Yankees manager's nails
: effectively were withdrawn just two batters into the game.

小王在近來十五場先發中，只有一場未能撐到第七局；同時近十三場先發，他只有兩場
沒拿下QS。在這種表現下，Torre會喜歡他給自己的機會的--儘管是面對宿敵天使隊。
之前總是讓Torre坐立難安的天使隊，這場只有兩位打者進入狀況，讓Torre不必再煩惱
地啃著指甲。

: Reggie Willits, who had walked, ran into a strike-em-out-throw-em-out
: double play and Wang immediately found a better release point for a sinker
: that had been breaking out of the zone. The Yankees lead, thanks to
: three-run homers by Hideki Matsui, Robinson Cano and the incredible
: Alex Rodriguez, was 10-0 when Torre, mindful of Wang's ongoing nail
: management problems, pulled his starter after 88 pitches and an infield
: single with one out in the seventh.

Willits在保送上壘後的一次盜壘失敗，伴隨著打者的三振，這個另類的DP讓小王找回
稍早不穩定伸卡球的放球點。接下來靠著松井.Cano和不可思議A-GOD的三顆三分球，
洋基以10-0領先，也讓對小王指甲問題擔心的Torre，可以在七局上一出局時的一隻內安
後，把已經丟了88球的小王換下來休息。

: Torre's nails remained unchewed throughout the 12-0 laugher that ended a
: 5-2 week and speculation that the Yankees would curl up and die even
: before the All-Star break. With Wang scheduled to pitch twice in those
: seven days, that always was a stretch, but of course so are hopes for
: any sustained Yankees run without depth in the rotation.

Torre直到比賽12-0結束後都未咬過他的指甲。這場大勝為這週五勝二敗的戰績畫下句點，
也終結了一些認為洋基會在星星賽前銷聲匿跡，甚至提前出局的臆測。在這七天中小王
先發了兩次，顯然是有點操勞了。但當然地，要有持久的勝利，絕不能少了輪值的深度。
(其實這段後半有點難懂  請強者指教~~)

: If we are to assume Andy Pettitte, who has had clunkers in three out of
: his last four starts, has just hit an inevitable and correctable lull,
: there is reason to believe the Yankees can count on four out of five
: good starts through most turns. Roger Clemens has been dominant in his
: last two tries and Mike Mussina has given up more than three runs only
: once in his last six.

如果我們要認為前四場先發中噴了三場的佩佩，只是陷入無可避免的一點小低潮的話，
那麼我們可以認為洋基接下來將可以預期，五場中會有四場的好先發。老克近兩次表現
都十分優異，而穆帥近六場只有一次噴了超過三分。

: Of course, that fifth good start remains hugely problematical, even if
: Phil Hughes, making his first rehab start tonight in Tampa, likely will
: replace Kai Igawa by Aug. 1. Hughes is a rookie who hasn't pitched
: since May 1. But he was throwing a no-hitter upon his disappearance,
: providing reason to believe that had he stayed healthy, the Yankees
: would be closer than seven games back in the wild-card loss column.

當然，五號先發依然是個頭痛的問題，儘管大帝美國時間今晚將在坦帕丟第一場復建賽，
而他似乎也將在8/1取代阿宅的位置。大帝還是個菜鳥，並且在5/1後還沒丟過球。不過
他進DL前的無安打表現，也讓人有理由相信如果他健康的話，洋基將會離外卡更近，而非
現在的七場勝差。

: Starting Thursday in St. Petersburg, Fla., they have 29 straight games
:  (counting the suspended one in Baltimore) against teams that went to
: the break holding losing records, followed by successive August weekend
: series against the Indians and Tigers, only one of which they must catch.

美國時間週四，從面對坦帕灣魔鬼魚隊開始，他們將有連續29場比賽(包含對金鶯的
一場延賽)，要面對星星賽前輸得最多的隊伍們。而八月的兩個周末系列，他們要面對
笑臉人跟老虎，只有一隊是他們要追上的。

: If the Yankees are within four with six weeks to go, they'll have a shot.
: Granted, by then they will require a fifth starter, another right-handed
: bat and more consistent bullpen work, but better relief can come through
: better starts.

如果剩下六週時，洋基能把勝差縮到四場以內，他們就會有個機會。而那時他們將有個
五號先發，另一支右打的火力，以及更穩定的牛棚--好的牛棚將能守住更多好先發。

: "It starts with starting pitching because if that is consistently good,
: basically you're not calling on the bullpen for multi-inning stuff," said
: Torre.

"一切都從先發開始。假如你有穩定的好先發，你就不必叫個牛棚投手投超過一局。"
Torre說。

: Only one batter reached base yesterday against relievers Mike Myers,
: Scott Proctor, and Ron Villone, in part because Wang was even tougher
: than it was for Torre to look at the pitcher's bloody nail after the game.

昨晚在Myers.天天P和V龍的救援下，只有一個打者上到壘包。小王的堅強表現是牛棚
不燒的部分原因--而這出乎了Torre的預料，讓他賽後不禁想關切一下小王滲血的指甲。

: "I'm going to dinner," the manager said with a smile. "[The nail is]
: something he's going to have to deal with and he seems to be dealing with
: it pretty well.

"我將要去吃晚餐了。"Torre笑著說。"(指甲是)一點他要處理的事，而他看來處理得
頗好的。"

: "He's special. Righty-lefty doesn't matter. The ability to throw strikes
:  and get late into games without a lot of pitches works on his behalf."

"他十分特別。左右打者對他並無影響。能投許多好球和吃下長局數，卻不需丟很多球，
就是他所展現出來的利益。"

: And, the Yankees' behalf. Whether they have enough to sustain a run is
: the $207-million question. But no playoff drive even begins without an
: ace like Wang pitching like one, practically without fail.

同時，也是洋基的利益。他們是否能維持一股氣勢，就是那207M薪資陣容的問題了。
但是沒有一條通往季後賽的道路，能少了一位像小王一般，幾近完美的Ace。
