Yankees pull out unlikely win
Everything pointed to a loss for the Bombers, until the ninth
 Baseball Perspectives

NEW YORK -- It is generally difficult to describe any victory by the New York
Yankees as "unlikely." Their history largely defines victory as the likeliest
of outcomes.
通常很難會用"不太可能的勝利"來形容洋基
回顧過去的歷史 洋基的勝利絕大部分都是"很有可能"

But the Yankees' victory at Shea Stadium Saturday afternoon would qualify as
unlikely. Or improbable. Or almost out of the question for the vast majority
of the day.
但星期六下午洋基在Shea球場的勝利
在大部分的時間裡被認為是"不太可能"或"機會不大"

Yes, Game 2 of the Subway Series was clearly going to the New York Mets, just
as Game 1 had. Obviously, the fundamental order of Big Apple baseball was
rapidly changing.
是的 地鐵大戰系列賽第二場就像第一場一樣是屬於紐約大都會隊
很明顯大蘋果棒球隊迅速轉變著

Pedro Martinez stopped the Yanks cold for seven innings. The "who's your
Daddy?" thing was ancient history. Pedro was now the parent in this
relationship, giving up just four hits, one walk, and no runs, striking out
eight.
Pedro Martinez凍結洋基隊七局 "誰是你爹"已是過去式
現在Pedro在這關係裡可是家長  他只被打出四支安打 一次保送 八次三振 沒有失分

Mike Mussina wasn't bad, but he didn't have much help. The Yankees committed
four errors, two of which, in the first inning, led to two unearned runs.
What was the deal with the Yanks in the field? In the first 28 games of the
season, they committed just 10 errors. In the last 13 games they have
committed 22 errors.
Mike Mussina也不惶多讓 可是沒得到多少奧援  洋基有四次失誤
其中兩次發生在第一局 導致丟掉兩分非自責分
洋基的守備如何? 本季開季的28場比賽中犯下10次失誤
而最近的13場比賽則有22次失誤

Going into the ninth, the Yanks were trailing, 4-0, and closer Billy Wagner
was brought in for the Mets. His appearance was almost gratuitous, not even
being a save situation. You could not help but recall what Wagner had done
Friday night, striking out the side in the top of the ninth, overpowering the
middle of the Yankees' order. Clearly, this one was over. Have you got
everything, kids? It's time to go home.
洋基帶著4-0落後進入第九局 面對大都會的終結者Billy Wagner
而他的上場毫無理由 這甚至沒有救援點
但沒辦法  前一天Wanger表現太殺了 九局上三振了他所面對的打者 打敗洋基的中心打線
顯然這場比賽即將結束  小孩  東西帶了嗎 準備回家了

There were other factors headed in the direction away from a Yankee victory.
The Yanks had three outfielders, two starters and a backup on the disabled
list, but that was just a slice of their pain. Jorge Posada and Bernie
Williams, for instance, were nicked up and not in the starting lineup.
Manager Joe Torre said he had joked to general manager Brian Cashman Friday
night: "What kind of club are you giving me?"
另外還有幾個因素阻撓洋基的勝利
洋基有三個外野手 兩個先發投手和一個後援投手 在傷兵名單中
而這只是疼痛的一部分 還有Jorge Posada和 Bernie Williams 不舒服沒先發
總教頭Joe Torre說他星期五晚上還跟總經理現金人開玩笑說
"你到底給我什麼樣的球隊?"

No, at no point during the vast majority of the event did this seem to be a
Bronx Bombers afternoon. "It was an ugly game for a long time," Torre said.
沒有任何一點跡象顯示這會是屬於洋基的午后
老托說"大部分時間 這是一場醜陋的比賽"

But then it turned out that the Yankees were still the Yankees, and not
merely supporting players in the Mets' rise to prominence. Wagner faced seven
Yankees. Six of them reached.
但事實證明 洋基還是洋基 儘管面對的是越來越強的大都會隊
Wagner面對七位洋基打者 其中六位上壘

Single, walk, run-scoring single, fly to center, walk, run-scoring walk,
run-scoring hit-by-pitch. The Yankees battled on every pitch, and Wagner had
to throw 31 of them before he departed. Melky Cabrera put up a particularly
impressive fight with an 11-pitch at-bat before reaching base on a walk with
what would eventually become the tying run.
一壘安打 保送 帶打點的一壘安打 中外野飛球 保送 帶打點的保送
帶打點的觸身球 洋基應戰每一球 而Wagner離場前 共用了31球
其中令人印象深刻的是Melky Cabrera和Wanger十一球的纏鬥最後凹到保送
這也是最後的追平分

"A wonderful at-bat, spectacular," Torre said.
老托說"很好的打席 太棒了"

Wagner, 292 career saves and all, was forced to depart. Left-hander Pedro
Feliciano came in to face Johnny Damon with the bases loaded, one out, in a
4-3 game. Damon's subsequent groundball to short seemed, like most of what
had previously occurred on this afternoon, to be just what the Mets' wanted.
This would be the game-ending double play, and if it had been a bit dicey
there at the end, the Mets would still win round one of the 2006 Subway Series.
生涯擁有292次救援成功的Wagner被迫下場 換上左投Pedro Feliciano
面對滿壘一出局 4-3 大門上場打擊
最後大門的軟弱滾地看來就像比賽前段的情況一樣 也是大都會想要的
差一點這就可能是一支結束比賽的雙殺打
就像2006地鐵大戰第一場一樣大都會以一分險勝

But no. Damon went as hard as he could go and narrowly beat the throw from
second, thus allowing the tying run to score.
但是 沒有 大門奮力跑 也讓追平分回去得分

"You watch Johnny Damon, whether it's good or bad, he's always running hard,"
Torre said.
老托說"你看大門 不管打得好或壞 他總是用力跑"

"I've still got the wheels that a lot of people thought left me," Damon said
with a smile.
大門笑著說"我還有我的風火輪 雖然很多人認為它離開我了"

Andy Phillips, in the game on a 10th-inning double switch, singles in the
winning run in the 11th inning. Again, this is not exactly the premier
candidate for Yankee heroics, but the question with these Yankees is not who,
but how.
在第十局利用double switch換上的Andy Phillips 在第十一局打出勝利打點的一壘安打
又一次不是洋基預期的英雄 但洋基的問題不是是"誰" 而是"什麼時候"

"I know the lineup is not as star-studded now, but the guys that are in there
still have confidence in what they can do as players," Phillips said.
Phillips說"我知道現在打線並不那麼星光閃閃 但現在上場的傢伙有自信可以做到"

Mariano Rivera, the losing pitcher the previous night, shuts down the Mets
for the last two innings. And, here's a way to get even, he strikes out the
side in the 11th to nail down the victory.
前一晚的戰敗投手Mo最後兩局封鎖大都會
討回前晚的挫敗 在第十一局三振三名打者確保這場勝利

The Yankees win, 5-4. How? They might still be the Yankees. Even in these
distinctly less-than-likely circumstances. How unlikely was this one?
5比4洋基隊贏了~~怎麼會?
即使是在這麼多不可能的狀況下  洋基隊還是洋基隊

"This one was maybe even more unlikely than the one the other day [against
Texas], when we were losing by nine runs," Torre said. "In the 10-1 game, we
were getting a run here, a run there. Here, nothing."
老托說"這也許比前幾天對Texas那場九分落後的逆轉更不可能
在那場比賽裡 我們這裡一分 那裡一分的追趕 但這場 沒有"

All of the excuses were in place for the Yankees on Saturday. They were beat
up, they were facing one of the most dominant pitchers of this generation,
they were down early and often. But they still had the essential Yankee ethic.
星期六 所有的藉口都就定位 他們會被擊敗 他們面對的是這個世代最有壓制力的投手之一
一開始就被壓著 但他們仍然擁有洋基魂

"It may not be pretty, but they're never going to quit," Torre said of his
club's effort in this game. "That's a testament to what we need to do here.
It's what you need to have if you expect to contend and compete."
老托談到這場比賽中球隊的努力說 "這也許不好看但他們永不放棄
證明這是我們在這兒所需要做的  要拼 這就是我們所需要的"

The Yankees still had it Saturday, even when most of the day it looked as
though they didn't have much at all. Implausible, improbable, unlikely, all
of that and more, but at the end of the day it was Yankees 5, Mets 4.
星期六洋基仍然保有它 即使大部分的時間看來他們並沒有
暫時暫停了 不可能 不太會 諸如此類...甚至更多的形容
但最後洋基5 大都會4

"The whole thing with this game is trying to win and not trying to explain
why you can't," Torre said.
老托說"這場比賽就是要贏 而不是試著去解釋為什麼做不到"

That is what the New York Yankees were still about on this May afternoon in
Queens.
這就是紐約洋基隊 在五月的午后皇后區裡
