: Yankees seek sweep behind Wang
: Boston (80-53) at New York (74-59), Thursday, 1:05 p.m. ET
: By Anthony DiComo / MLB.com
: Just like that, Chien-Ming Wang doesn't seem so young anymore.

就如同最近的表現，王建民再也不像是個輕澀的投手。

: He's always pitched well beyond his years, ever since arriving in the Bronx
: as a collected 25-year-old in 2005. But since he's become the ace of a staff
: that includes 21-year-old Phil Hughes and, now, 22-year-old Ian Kennedy, Wang
: has had to assume an even greater maturity.
: He's now a relatively elder statesman, trailing just Roger Clemens and
: Andy Pettitte in years -- but pitching just as well, if not better, than both
: of them.

即使在2005年他以25歲的年紀來到Bronx時，王的表現也還算超齡!但即使已經
成為球隊的王牌(這個球隊包括了21歲的休斯還有22歲的甘迺迪)，王還是得展現
更進一步的成熟度。因為跟那些小輩比起來，王已經是個得負起領導的老鳥了，
雖然只比派帥跟火箭人少了幾年，但卻可以跟他們並駕齊驅。

: And while Wang is still just 27, he's certainly not young.
: "Not anymore, he isn't," said Yankees manager Joe Torre. "Our expectations
: of him are pretty high."

雖然王只有27歲，卻不再以年輕小夥子的身分被看待。
關於這點洋基總教練托瑞說"我們對他的期待可是遠遠超過27歲該有的表現呢!!"

: Which means that when Wang takes the mound with a shot at a critical series
: sweep -- as he will against the Red Sox on Thursday afternoon -- the Yankees
: expect him to win. And why not? He's started 24 games, and the Yankees have
: lost just six of them -- only one per month for each of the last three months.
:  He's already seen the Red Sox three times this year, and beaten them twice.

這也意味著，這個星期四下午，當小王站在投手丘上與紅襪對決的時候，整個洋基都期待
他可以擊敗對手，以橫掃的姿態取得這至關重要的系列賽。這是一定要的啊!!因為在小王
先發的24場比賽中，洋基只輸了六場，而其中在最近的三個月每個月只輸一場。
就今年來說，跟紅襪對決的三次比賽中，小王已經痛擊了對手兩場。

: Yet those three starts were all completed by June 1, and while games at that
: early stage of the year count just as much in the standings, they don't
: usually weigh as much on the psyche. A win -- and a sweep -- would push the
: Yankees almost as close to the Red Sox as they were a week and a half ago,
: whereas a loss would wash away half the work they completed in the first
: two games of the series.

不過那三場先發都是在六月一日前，對王而言只是季賽前半段例行性的出場，在心理
上並不會有太大的壓力。若能贏得這場橫掃式的勝利，卻可以把洋基對紅襪的勝差推進到
上上個禮拜前的狀況。反之，若是輸了，則會把先前兩場系列賽的勝利喜悅，付之流水。

: Thursday's task of taking down Red Sox starter Curt Schilling won't be
: easy -- but then again, neither was defeating Josh Beckett on Wednesday or
: Daisuke Matsuzaka the night before.

要擊敗席林將是一件艱困的任務!!當然，同隊的貝奇特跟松板大輔也不是好惹的。

: "Everyone you look at these three days is special," Torre said of the Boston
: rotation. "They've got some horses they can throw out there."
: Schilling remains a vital part of that stable, even as he ventures well past
: 40 years old. He's recovered from a three-game losing streak to now win two
: straight, and like Wang, he holds the hopes of his team on his shoulders.
: There may ultimately be more hyped games to come, as the Yankees become more
: and more likely to train their sights on the American League Wild Card. But
: dismissing any game's importance at this time of year would be a critical
: mistake.

托瑞看著紅襪隊的輪值表說"........................(不會翻)"
即使已經是四十歲的高齡，席林依然是穩定軍心的重要角色。經過了三連敗與最近
的兩連勝，席林已經恢復了他應有的水準。而且就像小王一樣，他也肩負著球隊勝利
的希望。
正當洋基爭奪美聯外卡越來越有希望的同時，相信將有更多緊張刺激的比賽接踵而來。
但在此之前，若是輕忽任何一場比賽的重要性，一樣會造成致命的傷害!

: "There's 30 games left," Torre said, "and we're going to try to go out there
: and win every one."

托瑞說"剩下30場比賽，我們一定會全力以赴，並且變身為完全體讓對手死的很難看!!"

下面這段就不翻了....

: Pitching matchup
: NYY: RHP Chien-Ming Wang (15-6, 3.95 ERA)
: Wang bounced back from two rough starts to give the Yankees two solid ones,
: lasting eight innings in a win at Detroit last week. If he can beat the
: Red Sox, it would mark the fourth time this season that he's had a winning
: streak of at least three games. Wang has been shaky in three starts against
: the Red Sox this year, allowing nearly two baserunners per inning, but still
: managing to win two of his three starts.
: BOS: RHP Curt Schilling (8-5, 4.11 ERA)
: Schilling has allowed five earned runs all three times he's faced the Yankees
: this season. Twice, the team has won -- though the right-hander was long gone
: on both occasions. And while wins are the bottom line, Schilling can't be
: encouraged by the fact that the Yankees are hitting him at a .372 clip.
: Player to watch
: David Ortiz hasn't had much trouble lifting Wang's sinker skyward, having
: clubbed two homers in 24 career at-bats off the right-hander. He's also
: amassed 10 other hits -- pushing his average off Wang to .500 -- and walked
: five times.
