: Game Goes on Forever, and the Yankees Win Again
: By TYLER KEPNER
: Published: August 21, 2006
: BOSTON, Aug. 21 – The series that never sleeps will conclude sometime late
: Monday afternoon. But that is only a theory. When the Yankees play the Boston
: Red Sox, the games seem to last forever. And the way they have gone this
: weekend, the Yankees may never want to leave.
不間斷的系列賽將在周一下午畫下句點--不過那是理論上。當洋基和紅襪對打時，比賽似
乎會永遠持續下去。而洋基度過本週的方式，可能會讓他們捨不得離開。

: It was 1:27 a.m. Monday morning when the Yankees finally outlasted the Red Sox
: , 8-5, in 10 dismal innings for the fans at Fenway Park. Derek Jeter tied the
: game with a two-out single in the ninth inning, and Jason Giambi won it with
: his second home run, a laser into the Red Sox bullpen off Craig Hansen to lead
: off the 10th.
時間是在星期一凌晨，1:27。洋基比紅襪還耐操一些，最後在第10局以8比5獲勝，留給
芬威球迷的是惆悵和沮喪。

: “Hey,” said Mike Mussina, smiling despite a groin injury that knocked him
: out early, “if you’re on the winning side, you’ll play as long as it takes.
: ”
"嘿，"Mussina微笑的說，即使他因為鼠奚部微恙而提早退場。"假如你是站在勝利這邊，
要打多久就打多久。"

: It was the Yankees’ fourth victory in four games this weekend as they try to
: bury the Red Sox in the American League East. The Yankees have gained 9 ?
: games in the standings since July 4, and their division lead is 5 ? games,
: their widest since Sept. 24, 2004.
這是洋基本週四場比賽的第四場勝利，他們試著將紅襪送進美聯東區的墳墓裡。洋基從
7/4以來贏了九場(這一句有些怪怪的)，而他們的分區領先勝差達到5 1/2場，這是自從
2004/9/24以來差距最大的一次。

: Both teams made the playoffs that year, and again last season. But the Red
: Sox’ hopes are in jeopardy now after the bullpen wasted a strong effort by
: Curt Schilling on Sunday. The pitching staff is in tatters, allowing 47 runs
: in the series.
兩隊在那年都進了季後賽，隔年也是如此。但就在星期日，紅襪牛棚浪費了Schilling的
努力之後，這希望有可能變成泡影。投手戰力破碎不堪，在這系列賽中已掉了47分。

: “This is tough,” said Schilling, who lasted seven innings. “We have been
: outplayed for four games. If we keep playing like this, we won’t be playing
: in October.”
"這真太殘酷了"投了七局的Schilling說。"我們打輸了四場比賽。如果再這樣下去，我們
將不會在十月出現。"

: Mussina lasted only four innings for the Yankees – two before a 57-minute
: rain delay, two after – and left with tightness in his right groin. He felt
: it during the fourth and said he suffered the same injury on June 30 in a
: rain-delayed game against the Mets.
Mussina只為洋基投了四局(在因為下雨暫停57分鐘的前後各投兩局)，最後帶著右鼠蹊的
傷退場。他說這感覺與6/30對大都會那場所受到的痛楚相同。

: “The only reason I’m worried about it is because this was the second time,”
:  Mussina said. “But I don’t think it’s too bad.”
"第二次受傷是我最擔心的事，"Mussina說。"但我想情況應該不太糟。"

: The Yankees saw 13 different Boston pitchers this weekend before the most
: dominant one took the mound. With closer Jonathan Papelbon rested and ready
: – he had thrown only six pitches since last Sunday – Red Sox Manager
: Terry Francona called for Mike Timlin to protect a 5-3 lead in the eighth.
: Francona cited favorable match-up numbers for Timlin and the hitters he would
: face, and then touched on a deeper truth.
洋基在本週面對紅襪最有壓制力的投手之前，已經和另外13名投手交手過。救援投手
Jonathan Papelbon已經充分休息並準備好(上週日他只投了六球)；紅襪教頭
Terry Francona在第8局派出Mike Timlin來守住5比3的領先。Francona認為這是適合
Timlin的比數也是適合他面對的打者，但卻受到接下來的事實沉重的打擊。

: “I don’t think, long-term, it’s the way we can win games,” Francona said.
: “We have to be able to get some people out.”
"長遠來說，我不覺得這是我們可以贏球的方式。"Francona說。"我們必須要能使打者出
局。"

: Timlin could not do that. He allowed a single and hit a batter, and the
: left-hander Javier Lopez walked Bobby Abreu. Finally, Francona summoned
: Papelbon, who survived an eight-pitch clash with Giambi.
Timlin做不到。他被打了一支安打之後又丟了觸身球，左投Javier Lopez跟著保送了
Abreu。最後，Francona召喚出Papelbon，在對Giambi的第八次投球之後被敲出去﹞，
不過最後存活下來。

: Giambi saw all fastballs, and his towering try for a grand slam expired on the
: warning track for a sacrifice fly. With the lead cut to 5-4, Papelbon walked
: Alex Rodriguez before fanning Robinson Cano and Jorge Posada.
Giambi面對的都是快速球，他試著將球高高拉起希望變成一支滿貫，結果變成掉在
warning track前的高飛犧牲打，將比數追成5比4。Papelbon保送了A-Rod，接下來讓
Cano 和 Posada 變成了電風扇。

: He nearly finished off the Yankees in the ninth but blew the save when Jeter
: punched a two-seam fastball to right to score Melky Cabrera, who had led off
: with a double and reached third on a wild pitch.
他差點就要結束洋基九局上的進攻，最後卻因為 Jeter 抓到一個二縫線快速球將球
打到右外野，送回Melky得分，導致救援失敗。

: “It wasn’t looking too good for us,” Jeter said, “but that’s why you play
: 27 outs – and sometimes a little extra.”
"這對我們來說看起來不太好，"Jeter說。"但這就是一場比賽有27個出局數的原因，有時
候還會多那麼一點。"
譯註：Jeter得了便宜還賣乖？=.=a

: Jeter was behind in the count, 0-1, and said he did not want to fall behind
: further. His hit was the first thing Manager Joe Torre cited after the game.
: “I knew I felt good coming into this series, but you could never imagine this
: was going to be the case, this was going to be the result,” Torre said.
Jeter 一開始是1好0壞球數落後，他說他不想繼續落後下去。他的關鍵一擊是Torre在賽
後第一件提出來的事情。"我知道這系列賽會有好事發生，但絕沒想到會是這個樣子，
這將是一次重要的勝利。" Torre說。

: “Papelbon, basically, was unhittable. He made a good pitch to Jeter, and he
: was able to fight it off.
"基本上，Papelbon是不會被打倒的。他對Jeter投的很好，有能力將Jeter解決。"

: “This could have been the most incredible one of all,” Torre continued.
: “This ballclub just won’t be denied.”
"這可能是最大的驚奇之一，"Torre說，"球隊應該也不會否認。"

: With the score tied, 5-5, Mariano Rivera came in for the ninth. David Ortiz
: smashed a bad-hop double over Giambi’s head to lead off the inning,
: belly-flopping into second base on his slide. Francona did not use a
: pinch-runner, and Rivera walked Manny Ramirez intentionally.
當比數以5比5平手時，Rivera在第九局上來了。Ortiz是該局首名打者；球一個彈跳跳過了
Giambi的頭，變成了二壘打。這時Francona沒用代打，Rivera故意保送了Manny。

: Kevin Youkilis came up next, with two hits already, and bunted back to Rivera,
: who fired to third to catch Ortiz.
Youkilis接著上來，在此之前已有兩支安打；一個短打球滾到Rivera前面，封殺了跑向三
壘的 Ortiz 。

: “We wanted to start off, at least, bunting,” Francona said. “And if things
: changed once they were in for a bunt defense, we could certainly change it.
: But I wanted, in that situation, to take our chances with second and third.”
: A passed ball and an intentional walk brought up Eric Hinske as a pinch-hitter,
: and Rivera struck him out. Doug Mirabelli then tapped a weak grounder back to
: the mound for the third out.
"一開始想說至少來個短打，" Francona 說。"假如對方擺開短打的守備陣勢，我們就可
以馬上改變進攻方式。我所想的，是希望能將跑者推進到二、三壘。" 隨後經過一次補
逸、一次敬遠保送，Rivera又三振代打的Eric Hinske。最後 Doug Mirabelli 擊出投手
丘前的軟弱滾地球，造成第3個出局數。

: In the 10th, Giambi ripped the third pitch from Hansen on a low line, just over
: the glove of the charging center fielder, Coco Crisp. Posada added a two-run
: shot down the right field line for the cushion.
10上， Giambi 把握 Hansen 投的第三球，球剛剛好飛過中外野手Coco Crisp的手套。
Posada追加右外野的兩分彈，添得保險分。

: “I knew I covered it, but I wasn’t quite sure it was going to be high enough
: ,” said Giambi, who has 36 homers and 101 runs batted in. “If anything, it
: probably kept the wind from catching it. But it was lathered.”
"我知道掌握到球了，但我不那麼確定它會飛的夠高，" Giambi說，他本季已有36發全壘
打和101分打點。"如果有其他因素，大概是風吹不讓球被接到吧。最後球還是出去了"

: Giambi called the game and the series “some of the greatest teamwork I’ve
: ever been involved with,” and it was hard to argue. The Yankees have picked
: just the right time to play their best, and the Red Sox look helpless to stop
: them.
Giambi將這場以及這系列賽稱為"我曾參與的最棒的團隊合作"，這是不容置疑的。洋基
在對的時間將戰力發揮到極致，看起來紅襪無力阻止他們。

: “I don’t think either side would have predicted someone was going to win
: four games,” Mussina said. “Everybody just assumed it was going to be 3-2
: one way or the other. Especially for the visiting team to come in here and
: win four – we’ve won the first four, and now we have a chance to win five.”
"我想雙方都不會預期有哪一隊可以贏四場，"Mussina說。"每個人都覺得是3勝2負什麼
的。特別是客隊來到這裡贏了四場--我們已經贏了前四場，現在有機會贏得第五場了！"
