Re: [新聞] Must-Win Games Aren’t New to Yankees

[jacky77437 (遺憾~)]

When the Yankees were at their lowest point — with a 21-29 record, after
Aaron Hill stole home to beat Andy Pettitte on May 29 in Toronto — Manager
Joe Torre canceled batting practice for the next day. The Yankees scored 10
runs that night and began their long climb to the playoffs.

洋基度過他們最黑暗的時期-21勝29敗,在派帥被盜本壘的那場比賽隔天,

老托取消了當天的打擊練習,結果那晚洋基總共得到10分,並從那天開始

慢慢的一步一步邁進季後賽

Yesterday, after two punchless losses in buggy Cleveland, Torre canceled the
team workout at Yankee Stadium. Maybe a day off, and a revamped lineup that
may include Jason Giambi, will lift the Yankees from a slump. They are
hitting .121 in their best-of-five American League division series.

昨天,在連續輸給有蟲蟲的笑臉人以後,老托取消了在洋基球場的練習,

並重新的思考打線的安排,或許會讓大吉先發吧,希望他能帶領洋基走出低潮

因為洋基在這個系列賽只有0.121的打擊率

“I don’t have an explanation,” Yankees General Manager Brian Cashman said,
after praising the Cleveland pitchers. “I know I have confidence in our
players. It seems that this year’s team does its best work when their backs
are against the wall. That’s the way the season has been defined. So now we
put ourselves as far against that wall as we can possibly be.”

"我沒有甚麼好說的"現金人說

"我對我們的球員有信心,

The Yankees have not been swept in the postseason since the 1980 American
League Championship Series against Kansas City. But that will be their fate
if they lose Game 3 tonight, when Roger Clemens faces Jake Westbrook.

洋基自從1980年在美聯冠軍戰被皇家橫掃之後,就再也沒有發生過了

但是如果第三戰輸了,那就....

“We’re here, we’re at home, we have our crowd, our energy,” Clemens said
yesterday. “We’ll see if we can work to our advantage now.”

"我們還沒輸,而且接下來是我們的主場,我們有我們的球迷,有我們的動力"老克說

"現在就看我們能不能發揮我們所擁有的優勢"

Clemens has not pitched since Sept. 16 because of a strained left hamstring.
He battled the same injury, but in the other leg, in 2001, when he helped
steer the Yankees to a victory in Game 5 of their 2001 division series
against Oakland.

因為他左腳有點不舒服,所以老克從9/16以後就沒上場投過球,

他的另一隻腳以前也有過同樣的問題,在2001年,老克他幫助洋基在對上運動家

的第5戰中拿下重要的一勝

The Yankees lost the first two games of that series at home before rallying
to win. It has happened six other times in a best-of-five series, most
recently in 2003, when Boston beat Oakland. The Yankees’ comeback is still
fresh in the veterans’ minds.

洋基輸了5戰3勝制的前兩場,但是別灰心

史上有發生過6次輸了前兩場還能逆轉贏球的例子,最近的一次就是2003年

紅襪vs運動家

“That is the first thing that we looked to last night in the clubhouse,”
 said Pettitte, who shut out the Indians for six and a third innings in Game
2. “And the first thing that goes through your mind is: We’ve done this
before. We can do this. We can pull this off.

"昨晚在更衣室大家腦中的第一個想法是,我們經歷過同樣的事,我們可以做到的"

在第二場比賽老派成功封鎖住笑臉人的打線

“I can’t judge how everybody’s state of mind is in that clubhouse. It was
a pretty quiet flight home last night; we got in late, and everybody was
tired. But I can’t fathom in my mind that we’re not going to pull this off.

"我不能評斷任何人的想法,但是昨天大家都沒說什麼話,我想大家都累了,

但是我不敢去想像我們不能逆轉這個戰局"

With the 2004 Boston Red Sox, Johnny Damon and Doug Mientkiewicz pulled off
an even more improbable comeback, overcoming a 3-0 series deficit to upend
the Yankees in the A.L.C.S.

在2004年與紅襪爭奪美聯冠軍時,那時候的大門跟小明還承受了比這次更大的壓力

因為洋基先取得3-0的聽牌優勢

Their motto, Mientkiewicz said, was “win today.” Four days later, they had
won the series. The Yankees held that mind-set all summer to snag the A.L.
wild card.

小明說"那時候大家只想著先贏今天這場",結果四天後真的逆轉成功

那年洋基戰績一直獨據龍頭,卻沒想到被一個外卡幹掉

“We’ve been in a must-win situation since May 29,” Mientkiewicz said. “
This is not a situation we haven’t been in before. We had to play in
must-win games for four and a half months. Why should it be any different now?

"我們從5/29以後的戰績一直領先全聯盟"小明說

"現在這種情形我們不是沒經歷過,那時候我們必須打出最好的戰績才能進季後賽,

那跟現在的處境不是沒甚麼不一樣嘛?"

Mientkiewicz is a friend of the Yankees’ most important offensive player,
Alex Rodriguez, whose annual October struggles have flared up again.
Rodriguez has three pop-ups, three strikeouts and two walks in this series.
He is 4 for his last 50 in the postseason, with no runs batted in, and the
Yankees are 3-12 in those games. Rodriguez said Friday that he was not
pressing, but Mientkiewicz has tried to loosen him up.

小明跟洋基砲管最大支的A-ROD是好朋友,而A-ROD的十月症又突然發作了,

這個系列賽一共3個飛球,3個三振,2次保送,過去50個季後賽打席只有4支安打,

而且沒有任何打點,他說他並沒有壓力,但是小明希望他可以放輕鬆點

“I’ve been texting him back and forth this morning to keep his mind right,”
 he said. “He’s been through this before. We just need him to be him, and
then let everybody else do our own thing.”

"我希望他可以找回自己,而且讓心態保持正確"

"他已經想過這個問題很多次了,我們只希望他可以讓他找回真正的自己,

而每個人都應該做好自己的本分才行"

Mientkiewicz added: “I believe in him, probably more than anybody else
outside of his family. I’ve seen him do it before. He’ll do it again. He’s
going to come through, I promise.”

小明補充"我非常相信他,我之前就看過他經歷像這樣的事情了,他會再一次的

表現給我們看的,他很快就會回來了,我保證"

When Rodriguez struggled in the first three games against Detroit last year,
Torre dropped him to eighth in the lineup for Game 4. He is probably planning
less drastic changes this year, but he said that some adjustments were coming.

A-ROD在去年對上老虎的前三場比賽就打的不是很好,老托也在第4戰將他排到8棒

他那年從未被調到這後段棒次過,但是他說他會調整回來的

“I’m not sure where, but we’re thinking about maybe, possibly, Jason,”
 Torre said, referring to Giambi, who did not start in Cleveland. “We’ll
look and see what we’re going to do. We’ll look at matchups and stuff. But
we’ll probably shake it up a little bit.”
Cashman’s 4-year-old son, Teddy, would probably vote for Giambi to start. He
accompanied his father to yesterday’s news conference and wore a Giambi
T-shirt.

"我還不確定最後的打線,不過我想會考慮大吉"老托說

大吉到現在還沒有先發上場過

"我們將會思考接下來要怎麼做,會考慮打線的需求,或許真的會有一些變動"

現金人的4歲小兒子也贊成排大吉先發

他昨天跟著他老爸一起參加一個新聞會談,而他穿著大吉的T恤

Two stools were set up at a table, and Cashman sat on his, facing reporters.
His son lay his chest across his stool, putting his head down and closing his
eyes.

現金人坐在他的椅子上,而他的兒子躺在他的胸口,頭朝下並閉著眼

“He feels like me right now,” Cashman said, managing a smile and a laugh.
The Yankees are still alive, down but not out. It is not where they want to
be, but it is a spot they know well, with a sore-legged pitcher to guide them.

"他現在的感覺就跟我一樣"現金人說

洋基仍然還有機會,雖然情勢不夠好,但是還沒有結束阿

這雖然不是他們願意見到的局面,但是大家都了解到這個情勢

而且接下來還有一個腳痛的投手來帶領他們

“What I lack in stuff, I’ll throw my heart out there like I always have,”
 Clemens said. “My will will have to take over.”

"我還缺少什麼嘛?? 我一直都是用心去投球"老克說

"我的意志將會戰勝一切"
