Pedro regrets Zimmer incident

佩卓後悔當年摔了Zimmer

NEW YORK (AP) -- Pedro Martinez walked into a packed interview room in the
basement of Yankee Stadium and peered out at all the cameras and reporters
waiting for him.

"They don't get tired of it, huh?" he said.

Not in New York, that's for sure.

紐約媒體顯然還沒有忘記當年佩卓摔了洋基板凳教練Zimmer這件事。

One of baseball's most colorful characters, Martinez is set to pitch for the
Philadelphia Phillies against A.J. Burnett and the Yankees in Game 2 of the
World Series on Thursday night.

明天佩卓就要在洋基球場出戰死對頭。

Back in the Big Apple, where he was first a Red Sox villain and then an ace
for the Mets, a reflective Martinez threw all his pitches during an
anything-but-ordinary news conference before the opener Wednesday night.

"I don't know if you realize this, but because of you guys in some ways, I
might be at times the most influential player that ever stepped in Yankee
Stadium. I can honestly say that," Martinez said. "I have all the respect in
the world for the way they enjoy being fans. Sometimes they might be giving
you the middle finger, just like they will be cursing you and telling you
what color underwear you're wearing. All those things you can hear when
you're a fan. But at the end of the day, they're just great fans that want to
see the team win. I don't have any problem with that."

佩卓說，他對洋基球迷給他的"禮遇"沒話說。

"就是會對不爽的對手比中指、嘲弄，順便跟對手說'嘿，我知道你今天穿甚麼色的內褲'。
但是他們球迷，他們只是單純希望支持的球隊贏。"佩卓說。"所以當我自己在洋基球場被
噓被怎樣的，我還會覺得自己偶爾能當這球場裡最有影響力的人，還算不錯呢。"

The 38-year-old right-hander also said he regrets his fight with Don Zimmer
during a bench-clearing brawl between the Boston Red Sox and Yankees in the
playoffs six years ago.

今年三十八歲的佩卓今天表示，六年前他和洋基的板凳教練Zimmer互毆、並把他摔倒，
他後悔了。

When a separate altercation broke out on the field at Fenway Park, Zimmer,
then a 72-year-old New York bench coach, charged at Martinez, who grabbed
Zimmer by the head and tossed him to the ground. The Yankees were annoyed
that Martinez hit Karim Garcia with a pitch earlier in the game, but Martinez
said his ailing shoulder was giving him trouble.

當天在芬威球場的情況混亂。洋基先對佩卓給了Garcia觸身球不滿，但佩卓說自己肩膀
有問題才不小心打到。隨後72歲的Zimmer衝上來理論，佩卓就抓住他的頭把他摔出去。

"It was an ugly scene," Martinez said, adding this was probably the first
time he was discussing it publicly. "Zim charged me and I think he's going to
say something, but his reaction was totally the opposite, [he] was trying to
punch my mouth and told me a couple of bad words about my mom. I just had to
react and defend myself.

佩卓昨天第一次公開談論這件事。他說，那一幕很丟臉。"當時Zimmer衝過來，我以為
他只不過是要講些甚麼，結果他想摀住我的嘴，還問候我媽，我不爽就回擊了，我只是
要自我防衛。"

"It was something that we have to let go kind of, and forget about it,
because it was a disgrace for baseball," he added. "Even though it wasn't my
fault, I was involved in it, and it's one of the moments that I don't like to
see. I don't like to see it because I'm not a violent man."

"這是一件大家都應該忘掉的事。雖然不是我的錯，我還是不想要再回首，因為我不是個
暴力的人，棒球場上有這種發生也很難看。"佩卓補充。

When he saw Zimmer on the ground, Martinez said he thought about his father,
who died last year.

當時，他把Zimmer摔到地上，他看著倒在地上的對方時，他想到自己的爸爸。佩卓的爸爸
去年過世了。

"I respect elders; I don't condone anything like that," Martinez said. "But
I've got no choice. I've got no choice but to just respond and get away."

"我尊重老者。但當時我沒別的選項，我只是回擊然後走開。"佩卓說。

From that point on, Martinez didn't appreciate the way New York tabloids
portrayed him as a villain or monster every time he returned to Yankee
Stadium with the Red Sox.

佩卓表示，自己不喜歡每次隨紅襪隊回洋基球場時，都被講成壞蛋惡棍。

"You guys have used me and abused me," he said. "I remember quotes in the
paper, 'Here comes the man that New York loves to hate.' Man? None of you
have probably ever eaten steak with me or rice and beans with me to
understand what the man is about. You might say the player, the competitor,
but the man? You guys have abused my name. You guys have said so many things,
have written so many things.

"There was one time I remember when I was a free agent, there was talk that I
might meet with [George] Steinbrenner. One of your colleagues had me in the
papers with horns and a tail, red horns and a tail. That's a sign of the
devil. I'm a Christian man. I don't like those things. I take those things
very serious. Those are the kind of things that the fans actually get used to
seeing, and actually sometimes influence those people to believe that you are
a bad person, that you are like an ogre."

佩卓對紐約媒體表達不滿。"你們汙名化我。你們寫報導、念新聞的時候，只知道我是一
洋基的對手。但你們當中以人跟吃過飯嗎?有人真的了解我誰嗎?你們弄出來的新聞太多了
。還有一次我要跟洋基老闆見面時，一個紐約記者裝扮成魔鬼的樣子來採訪我。我是基督
徒，我很看重這種事情的。你們卻好像要大家相信我是壞蛋。"

Martinez spent four injury-plagued seasons with the Mets from 2005-08. Signed
by the Phillies in mid-July after sitting out the first half of the season,
he lacks the overpowering fastball he used to have. But he still knows how to
win.

佩卓在大都會四年都傷病纏身。今年季中才跟費城人簽約。但他的身手還在，以往的武器
速球也還很猛。

Martinez threw two-hit ball for seven shutout innings in Game 2 of the NL
championship series at Dodger Stadium.

"As you know, I'm older and wiser. I believe my experience played a big role
in that," Martinez said.

對道奇時，佩卓還投過七局無失分、只挨兩安的好成績。"我老了，也變聰明了。我可以
投好，應該是因為變聰明的緣故。"

Thursday will be his second World Series start -- he pitched seven scoreless
innings of three-hit ball for the Red Sox against St. Louis in 2004.

It will be the first World Series outing for the hard-throwing Burnett, who
did not receive a decision in three AL playoff starts this year.

"I'm excited," he said. "I'm going to prepare, yeah, maybe, as another game,
but deep down I know what it's about. I know how real it is, and I don't want
to change it."

明天是他第二度在世界大賽先發。上一次是在04年出戰紅雀，他七局無失分。
