: Yankees seek sweep behind Wang
洋基仰賴小王橫掃紅襪
: 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.
曾幾何時，王建民已不再是大家眼中的「菜鳥」。
: 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.
打從前年以25歲菜鳥之姿在大聯盟初登板以來，小王的表現總是維持一貫的水準。如今，
當21歲的Hughes和22歲的Kennedy紛紛成為隊上新戰力後，更趨成熟的小王儼然是這群新
世代投手中的王牌。
: 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.
小王現在已是個相對較「老」的投手，且跟隨著隊上老大哥（老克和老派）的腳步，其投
球表現甚至尤有過之。
: 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."
儘管他才27歲，但感覺上卻並非如此年輕。
「這孩子不再是個菜鳥啦，」Torre說：「我們對他的期待是相當大的。」
: 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.
言下之意為小王肩負著於此關鍵系列賽中橫掃對手的重任，而洋基也期待他能拿下勝利。
為什麼不呢？看看小王本季的24場先發中，洋基僅僅輸掉六場，且在最近三個月中皆為每
月一敗。小王本季與紅襪交手三次，戰績則是兩勝零敗。
: 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.
小王之前最後一次對戰紅襪是在六月一日，當時洋基對於分區排名的落後畢竟還沒有太大
的戰績壓力，然而在球季只剩一個月的今日，一場勝利 - 尤其是基襪系列戰三場橫掃 -
將會大大拉近洋基於分區排名追趕的腳步；相對地，一場敗戰也會使他們前兩場的勝果毀
去一半。
: 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.
想要在週四此戰打垮席琳並非易事，不過週二砲轟牛肉，週三棒打北極同樣困難，但洋基
做到了。
: "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."
「每個人都知道這是相當關鍵的三場，」Torre談到紅襪的投手輪值：「而他們確實也祭
出了最佳的陣容來應戰。」
: 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.
如今在前方把關的是老當益壯的席琳，最近在三連敗之後二連勝的他，和小王一樣肩負著
隊上的希望。
: 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.
隨著球季逼近尾聲，洋基將目標放在美聯外卡冠軍應為較實際的做法。但若因而輕忽接下
來任何一場比賽的重要性，對球隊而言都可能會是個致命的失誤。
: "There's 30 games left," Torre said, "and we're going to try to go out there
: and win every one."
「還剩三十場比賽，」Torre說：「我們接下來必須以贏得每一場比賽為目標。」
: 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.
王建民
小王在兩場糟糕的先發後谷底反彈，近兩場的先發表現逐漸恢復水準，上一場投八局打虎
獲勝。今天小王對紅襪若能奪勝，將會是他本季第四度的（至少）三連勝。其實小王今年
對紅襪三場先發表現頗抖，WHIP接近2，但仍舊拿下兩勝零敗。
: 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.
席琳姐
席琳本季三度面對洋基皆掉五分責失，球隊則在這三場中取得兩勝 - 儘管都不是他拿勝
投。另外，洋基打者對他的整體打擊率高達.372。
: 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.
