[新聞] Yankees’ problems go beyond Posada

[nickyang (肌腱炎者少打字)]

The Jorge Posada mess was a fine diversion for the New York tabloids,
containing all the elements of a classic Bronx brouhaha: a fallen superstar,
a fan-the-flames stance by management and a camera-ready apology the
following day. The quick apology from Posada undoubtedly was an effort to
contain the fallout, but the situation is likely to remain toxic for at least
as long as Posada’s batting average begins with a “1.”
一個墜落中的明星，一個搧風點火的管理層，還有一個眾目睽睽下的道歉，
今天你鬧劇了嗎？

老波迅速道歉試圖平息風波，但是只要他的打擊率還是一開頭，事情就很難平靜

(For what it’s worth, I can’t condone everything Posada did over the
weekend. But I find it incredible that the Yankees would go to such lengths
to embarrass someone with his legacy. Heck, the Washington Nationals go out
of their way to praise Pudge Rodriguez at every turn, even though entering
Sunday he and Posada had identical OPS figures of .621, and even though
Rodriguez has none of the history in Washington that Posada does in New York.)

譯按：這一段就不值得翻譯了，作者沒有搞懂大聯盟是個很現實的地方，
像這種又貴又廢的傢伙是不能跟阿麗在一起的。還是回去吃香蕉吧
付你那麼多錢已經要跪下來感恩才對，DC那個胖子沒有下跪只能說國民有情有義勘比兄弟

But the Posada affair is merely a diversion from the bigger story here, which
is that the Yankees are in trouble. After being swept at Yankee Stadium over
the weekend by the rival Boston Red Sox (who, incidentally, are finally at
.500 after beginning the season 2-10), the Yankees are 8-11 over the last
three weeks, and with a 20-17 record they have exactly one more win than the
Nationals.

老波的鬧劇只是反映洋基的危機，被隔壁在自家主場橫掃後，
只比國民隊多贏一場

If the season ended today, the Tampa Bay Rays would be your AL East champs,
and neither the Yankees nor the Red Sox would make the playoffs. The Rays, in
fact, have a chance to widen their two-game lead this week, with ace David
Price on the mound tonight as they open a two-game series against the Yankees.

如果今天就決定季後賽名單，襪子跟洋基都會在門外，光芒 rocks

The Yankees’ problems run from their lineup, which has no .300 hitters and
an offensive black hole (in the person of Derek Jeter) in the leadoff spot;
to their bullpen, which has been unable to count on supposed set-up men
Rafael Soriano and Joba Chamberlain; to their starting rotation, which is far
too dependent upon retreads Bartolo Colon and Freddy Garcia, who have
combined for just one win in May. The Yankees are the oldest team in
baseball, and most nights it shows.
洋基隊的問題是打擊一團糟，全隊打擊率都低於三成，還有一個自殺型的開路先鋒隊長
牛棚也好不到哪去，setup一點也不可靠
先發居然要靠基改人肥龍跟Garcia兩個加起來五月只拿一勝的撐場面
洋基是年齡最老的球隊，而多數時候看起來也的確如此

By no means am I counting the Yankees out. They have numerous underperforming
players due for a turnaround, and with the franchise’s vast resources and
vast need there is every reason to expect them to acquire some big-name
reinforcements this summer. But they have already lost five games in the
standings in the past two weeks – going from three games up on May 2 to two
games back this morning. As the season nears the quarter-pole, they have far
bigger problems than Jorge Posada’s relative happiness.
我不認為現在就可以說洋基再見，太多人都表現得不如預期
但是他們上周已經輸了五場比賽
比起老波爽不爽，他們還有更大的問題要煩惱
