: NATIONALS ROLL AS WANG GIVES UP WALK-OFF HOMER
: By GEORGE KING
: June 19, 2006 -- WASHINGTON, D.C. -
: Ryan Zimmerman watched Chien-Ming Wang take the mound for the ninth inning
: instead of Mariano Rivera and a thought hit the Nationals' third baseman.
: "Even Superman has to rest sometime," Zimmerman said of Rivera, who was not
: asked to protect a one-run lead in the final frame.

Ryan Zimmerman看著王建民,而不是Mo, 在第九局登上投手丘, 在他的腦子裡閃過了一個
想法.
"即使是超人有時也是需要休息的", Zimmerman這樣說著Mo, 在這種第九局一分差的情況
下, Mo並沒有上場.

: Having told Rivera he wasn't going to hurl for a third straight day and not
: wanting to use Scott Proctor for a fourth time in five games and giving Kyle
: Farnsworth's balky back a second day of rest, Joe Torre let Wang hit in the
: ninth and pitch the home half of the inning.

Torre告訴Mo他不用連著三天上場, 也沒有要Proctor在五場比賽第四度上場, 並且給背部
有傷的Farnsworth接連兩天休息, 結果就是讓王建民在第九局上半上場打擊, 然後讓他在
第九局下半投球.

: When Wang got Jose Guillen on a grounder to the right side, the Yankees were
: two outs away from celebrating a sensational pitching effort.
: Even Marlon Anderson's pinch-hit, ground single to right didn't dim their
: hopes. One pitch later they trudged off RFK Stadium's turf 3-2 losers when
: Zimmerman spanked a first-pitch sinker that didn't sink over the left-field
: fence for a game-winning homer.

當王建民讓Jose Guillen打向右半邊的滾地球出局之後, 洋基們只差兩個出局數就可以慶
祝這場傑出的投手勝利.
即使代打的Marlon Anderson打出右半邊的安打也沒有澆熄牠們的希望. 在下一個投球之
後, 他們難過地走下RFK Stadium的草地, 因為Zimmerman相中第一球, 一個沒有下沉的下
沉球, 打出了飛過左外野的再見全壘打, 洋基成了2-3的輸家.

: "The kid was courageous today," Torre said of Wang, who fell to 7-3 with the
: hard-luck defeat that was watched by 45,157 sweaty customers.
: "He got two ground balls to start the ninth, got a pitch up and lost the ball
: game."

"這小子今天很敢拼,"Torre這樣形容王建民. 在全場四萬多名揮汗看球的觀眾前面, 這場
不幸的輸球讓他的成績變成了七勝三敗.
"他一開始就讓對方出現了兩個滾地球,然後投高了一球,就這麼吞下敗仗."

: "I threw it bad," Wang said of the fateful pitch. "It was a sinker up."

"我這球投的很糟,"王建民這樣形容這命運一投. "這是個沒下沉的伸卡球."

: While lefty specialist Mike Myers and Proctor were throwing in the bullpen,
: Torre didn't intend to bring them in. If he used Myers for the left-handed
: hitting Anderson, Frank Robinson likely would have countered with the
: right-handed hitting Matthew LeCroy. As for Proctor, he was coming into the
: game only if Torre saw Wang fade or lose the strike zone.

當一人左Mike Myers與Proctor在牛棚當中練投時, Torre並不打算讓他們上場. 因為如果
讓Myers上場, Frank Robinson(Nats總教練)可能會轉而讓右打者Matthew LeCroy上場打
擊. 至於Proctor, 他只會在Torre看到王建民無法投進好球帶時才會上場.

: While Wang inhaled a loss on his 107th pitch that produced the fifth homer
: he has surrendered, the misbehaving sinker wasn't the Yankees' only problem.
: Mike O'Connor, a soft-tossing 25-year-old lefty making his 11th career start,
: allowed one run and four hits in seven innings to help send the Yankees to
: their seventh loss in 10 games.

當王建民投出第107球被打出本季第五支全壘打而吃下敗仗時,這個未如預期的伸卡球不
是洋基們唯一的問題. 25歲的左投, 球速並不快的Mike O'Connor在他的第十一場先發中,
七局只讓對手打出四支安打丟掉一分, 並且送給洋基在過去十場比賽中的第七場敗仗.

: Yet, when Alex Rodriguez ripped a two-out, RBI double to the left-center gap
: in the eighth that scored Melky Cabrera from first, the Yankees had a 2-1
: lead going to the ninth.

但在A-Rod擊出兩人出局帶有一分打點的左中外野二壘安打, 讓Melky從一壘直奔本壘
得分, 洋基是帶有一分領先進到第九局的.

: Since 1997, that meant Rivera. But not yesterday, despite Rivera telling
: pitching coach Ron Guidry he was willing and able.

從1997以來, 在這種情況之下, Mo都是最後上來關門的人. 但昨天卻不是, 儘管Mo告訴
投手教練他願意而且也可以上場投球.

: "That's what I do, that's my job," Rivera said about protecting ninth-inning
: leads. "To see [Wang] pitch a good game and lose like that was tough.
: I prefer me to lose the game than him."

"這是我ㄧ直在做的, 也是我的工作," Mo提到確保九局領先的勝利時, "看到王建民投得
這樣出色卻輸球令人難受, 我寧願在場輸球的是我, 而不是他."

: Rivera didn't criticize Torre for not using him. Still, the competitor in
: Rivera wanted him on the mound.

Mo並未批評Torre不讓他上場. 即使血液中留著的鬥士個性要他上場.

: "I will never second guess Mr. Torre," Rivera said. "But if it was up to me
: I would pitch every day. I look at today and they look at the season.
: That's why I am a player and he is the manager. If it's up to me, I want to
: be there. I was ready."

"我從未對Torre先生的決定做事後諸葛," Mo這樣說道. "但如果要我決定, 我會天天上
場投球. 我從今天的角度來看比賽, 而他們看的是整個球季, 這也是為什麼我是球員而
他是教練, 如果由我決定, 我會上場, 而我已經準備好了!"

: Wang should be used to feeble support. In his last three starts the Yankees
: have scored three runs. He won the first two, 2-1 and 1-0. Yesterday,
: giving up three was enough to get beat.

王建民應該對得不到隊友的支援習以為常. 在他前面三場先發, 洋基們只得了三分, 他贏
了前面兩場. 昨天丟了三分就足夠讓他吞下敗仗.

: "It's demoralizing because [Wang] worked so hard," said A-Rod, who had two of
: the Yankees' five hits. "He was the right guy out there."
: With their bullpen spent thanks to Jaret Wright and Shawn Chacon not going
: deep in the previous two games, the Yankees desperately needed Wang to work
: long yesterday. Unfortunately for them, he went one pitch too many.

"王建民這樣努力卻輸球, 實在讓人洩氣," 擊出洋基全隊中五支中的兩支安打的A-Rod說
"當時他是正確的人選(指九局下半時)."
由於Jaret Wright與Shawn Chacon無法在場上吃下太多局數而導致牛棚燒光. 洋基只好
期待王建民可以在場上多投幾局. 不幸的是, 他多投了一球,
