[主標]Rays unable to finish off Red Sox
      光芒沒能解決掉紅襪
[副標]ALCS heading back to St. Pete after seven-run lead slips away
      美聯冠軍賽得重回聖彼得堡,因為七分的領先沒了..
[內文]
Just like that, a seven-run Rays lead and a trip to the World Series
disappeared as the Red Sox's bats heated up in the late innings for an 8-7
come-from-behind win over Tampa Bay in Game 5 of the American League
Championship Series on Thursday.
就這樣,在已經領先了七分,正準備前往世界大賽時,紅襪打擊在最後幾局大爆發以8-7
擊退了光芒隊.

The Rays were unable to nail down a trip to the Fall Classic. Now the ALCS
will shift back to Tropicana Field for Game 6 on Saturday night.
光芒沒法在今天就敲定動身前往世界大賽,美聯冠軍賽得重回純品康納打第六戰

With the score tied at 7, Kevin Youkilis reached in the ninth inning on a
two-out infield single and went to second on Evan Longoria's wild throw to
first that skipped into the stands. J.P. Howell then intentionally walked
Jason Bay before J.D. Drew singled over right fielder Gabe Gross' head to
give the Red Sox the walk-off win and complete the largest comeback in LCS
history.
九局下7-7平手->Youkilis在兩出局擊出內野安打->龍哥暴傳->Youkilis上二壘
->Howell故意四壞保送Jason Bay->J.D.Drew擊出安打,球落在右外野手Gross頭上
->紅襪贏了.... (大家太緊張了吧...)

"Listen, it is what it is," Rays manager Joe Maddon said. "I don't dwell on
it. Nobody feels worse than the guys out of our bullpen right now. Nobody
feels worse. They've done a tremendous job all year.
光芒教頭Maddon說,發生的就發生了,別去想了.現在不會有人比我們那些牛棚投手還難過
,但他們今年整年都幹的很棒.

"I thought we played a great game. They just came back and beat us tonight.
That happens sometimes. We're going to go home, take tomorrow off and come
back, and [James] Shields will pitch in Game No. 6.
我們今天打的不錯,紅襪只是在今晚擊敗了我們,這偶爾會發生. 我們現在要回家,明天
好好休息然後回到場上,Shields將會在第六戰先發.

"But you can't dwell on it. Again, we'll lose for a half-hour or so and then
we'll move on. We have another game to play."
不能老想著今天的事. 我們輸了,然後我們會繼續前進,我們還有下一場比賽要打

Holding what appeared to be a commanding lead, the Rays went to Grant Balfour
in the seventh inning and the hard-throwing right-hander surrendered an RBI
single to Dustin Pedroia and a three-run homer to David Ortiz that cut the
Rays' lead to 7-4.
本來有著絕對性的領先,光芒再第七局把比賽交給了Balfour,Balfour卻投的不好,先被
Pedroia用安打敲回一分,然後老爹在敲出三分砲使比數來到了7-4

Dan Wheeler issued a leadoff walk to Bay in the eighth before giving up a
two-run homer to Drew. Coco Crisp added an RBI single during a 10-pitch at-bat
to tie the game at 7.
接下來的Wheeler先保送了Jason Bay,然後被J.D.Drew敲出兩分砲,Coco在纏鬥到第十球時
又以安打敲回一分,使兩隊以7-7平手

Scott Kazmir silenced the critics who thought Maddon had made a tactical error
by switching starting pitchers from Shields to Kazmir. The Rays left-hander
pitched six scoreless innings and allowed just two hits.
對於教頭Maddon策略性的把原本今天該先發的Shields換成Kazmir, 卡茲這左投用六局
先發兩安打無失分來平息了眾人的議論.

B.J. Upton put the Rays up, 2-0, in the first inning when he homered on a 1-1
pitch from Red Sox starter Daisuke Matsuzaka. The blast gave Upton three for
the ALCS and six for the postseason.
Upton第一局在1好1壞球時從松阪手中尻出兩分砲,這事Upton美聯冠軍賽的第三隻,也是她
今年季後賽的第六隻全壘打

Carlos Pena hit a two-run homer off Matsuzaka in the third, and Longoria
followed with a solo shot over the Green Monster to put the Rays up, 5-0
Pena在第三局從松板手上也尻了隻兩分砲,接著龍哥也跟著擊出飛越綠色怪物的陽春砲,
比數來到5-0

Longoria's home run gave the Rays 13 homers for the series, which broke the
ALCS record of 12 set by the Red Sox in 2003.
龍哥這一發陽春砲使得光芒在今年美聯冠軍賽全壘打總數來到13發,打破2003年紅襪紀錄

Upton doubled home two more in the seventh to put the Rays up 7-0, which
looked like enough of a cushion for victory.
Upton七局時的二壘安打讓光芒在添兩分,比數來到7-0,這時看起來分數已經足夠獲得勝利



只是看起來阿~
所以棒球真是有趣的運動
不到九局下半誰都不知道勝負的
我本來在五局時就覺得光芒穩贏的了說...殘念~

推 Abu7689     :怕只怕頂不住紅襪的氣勢 過得了這一關 光芒也會更加
→ Abu7689     :成長  甚至世界大賽冠軍 一定是沒問題的!!!!!
推 tedann      :打線回到家要繼續發威阿
推 eehippo     :光芒加油 紅襪的逆轉技能get
推 yankrays    :唉......好事多磨
推 IVIVI       :這一戰的罪臣就是Navarro 真的是太過鐵齒了 後援投手
→ IVIVI       :上來球種幾乎沒變過 而且在被打者打出界外球的情況下
→ IVIVI       :一樣堅持配一樣的球種 Balfour是強力投手 只配直球還
→ IVIVI       :ok 但位置卻永遠配外角 這樣就算了 後來換球速很慢的
→ IVIVI       :Wheeler上來 還是一樣配了一堆直球 他拿手的滑球、曲
→ IVIVI       :球一顆都沒看到 被豬幹的兩分砲也是直球 還紅中 後來
→ IVIVI       :的李玟 打了n個界外球後 仍然是只配直球 最後被打出
→ IVIVI       :去也不太意外 Howell上來則是曲球連發... 真的不知道
→ IVIVI       :在鐵齒什麼！！ 不過想想能回家拋彩帶也不錯 而且也
→ IVIVI       :保住了我的運彩(4W2L) XDDDD
推 burdette    :我倒覺得如果能在紅襪主場SWEEP他們 會有另一種
→ burdette    :不同程度的爽快
推 googoodoll  :我比較好奇"球速很慢的Wheeler"這句話是怎麼來的。
推 IVIVI       :難不成你認為90麥很快？
推 knoxvillt   :主要是球種的搭配 90MPH的球速如果搭上變化球就很威
→ knoxvillt   :當時的配球策略也許出了差錯 不過我想教練團應該是
→ knoxvillt   :有打過暗號給nava 授意他這樣配球 目前也只能這樣想
→ knoxvillt   :老話一句 下一場比賽又是一個新的開始 相信光芒吧
推 googoodoll  :90mph絕對不快，但是絕對也不是很慢，事後諸葛大家都
→ googoodoll  :很行，配球也是要看投手當天狀況。兄台您說Wheeler的
→ googoodoll  :curve跟slider一顆都沒看到，我光是slider就看到五六
→ googoodoll  :顆，任何況狀下有好的直球其他球種才能發揮功用。
推 IVIVI       :樓上你確定看的是同一場嗎？我看了半天連一顆滑球都
→ IVIVI       :沒有 再查一下gameday Wheeler丟了33球 其中只有兩球
→ IVIVI       :Splitter其它全部都是直球！！ 試問同一個球種不斷地
→ IVIVI       :被打出長打 不斷地被打出界外 但還是一直用一樣球路
→ IVIVI       :最後再被打出安打 這樣就是好的直球嗎？雖然我不知道
→ IVIVI       :當天是不是滑球、曲球全都廢掉 但一球都沒投出來 又
→ IVIVI       :怎麼知道他當天的變化球狀況不好 而且他是Wheeler 本
→ IVIVI       :來就是靠變化球跟控球吃飯 你現在不用 只有一顆不慢
→ IVIVI       :直球 這樣就能壓制紅襪了嗎？ 你要說我事後豬哥也可
→ IVIVI       :但Navarro的配球我已經不是第一次幹譙了從季初跟Garz
→ IVIVI       :配的時候 就是直球連發 然後被打暴 但跟Riggins配的
→ IVIVI       :時候就三振數大增 失分降低 就我看到的就只是 Riggan
→ IVIVI       :多配了一些曲球、滑球 而上一場Garza那場好投也是多
→ IVIVI       :了點曲球配 後幾局改滑球搭 結果效果就很好！
