※ 引述《PerryRod (Partridge)》之銘言： : 文章來源：http://tinyurl.com/268qv5 : A-Rod king of Yanks' world : Sunday, September 9, 2007 : By TARA SULLIVAN : STAFF WRITER : KANSAS CITY, Mo. -- Alex Rodriguez stood inside the visitors' clubhouse : Friday night and insisted, with a straight face, that if not for the : contribution of a surprising number of rookies this season, the Yankees would : be "in third or fourth place right now." 週五晚上，A-Rod站在客隊休息室裡，面無表情地強調：假如本季沒有眾多菜鳥們的貢獻，洋基很可能現在只在分區的第三或第四名。（那天甘乃迪先發，喬巴中繼二局） : Come on now, Alex. We all know the truth of the 2007 baseball season. Without : your bat, the Yankees wouldn't be anywhere near the playoffs, wouldn't be : anywhere close to holding the wild-card lead that is currently in their : grasp, would, in fact, be far lower than their current second-place AL East : perch. 拜託，Alex。我們都知道2007年這一整個球季到底是怎樣好不好。事實上，沒你的火力，洋基根本不可能這麼靠近季後賽，也不可能保有目前的外卡領先，恐怕成績會遠低於現在的東區第二。 : Rodriguez proved that much again Saturday, his two monstrous home runs giving : him 51 on the season while helping the Yankees crush the Royals, 11-5. Though : Andy Pettitte earned his 13th win, Johnny Damon provided the Yanks' first : blast of power with a two-run home run in the third and Wilson Betemit iced : the blowout with a three-run shot in the sixth. It was A-Rod's two home runs : in between that had tongues wagging in Kansas City. 星期六，A-Rod更加證實了這點。他兩隻怪物般的大號全壘打，不但將他的本季全壘打數飆到51，同時也帶領洋基以11：5擊潰皇家。雖然派帥贏得第13場勝場，第三局大門首先發難打出2分全壘打，第六局Betemit 轟出三分全壘打，火力才冷卻下來，而這其中A-Rod的二支全壘打，才是Kansas市中最熱門的話題。 : The first came in the fourth inning, traveling 416 feet to clear the : center-field fence. The second led off the sixth, just skipping over the : left-field fence. Together, they made Rodriguez the first Bronx Bomber since : Mickey Mantle and Roger Maris to reach the magical 50 barrier. 第一支全壘打在第四局，越過中外野圍牆416英尺的大號全壘打，第二支是第六局一開始，越過左外野圍牆。這二支全壘打讓A-Rod成為自Mickey Mantle及Roger Maris 以來第一位達到50HR障礙的洋基球員。 : "That's amazing considering that's what this organization is known for," : manager Joe Torre said, his head still shaking in awe. 「這真的太驚人了，即使是在火力旺盛的這球隊。」驚異得不斷地搖著頭的托瑞這麼說。 : Torre let his slugger bat one more time in the eighth, but regretted the : decision when Rodriguez was hit in the left elbow. Rodriguez left the game : for a pinch-runner, insisting after the game he was fine. The news was not so : good for teammate Derek Jeter, however, whose painful right knee was the only : dark cloud on an otherwise clear night. 托瑞讓A-Rod第八局再一次上場打擊，但當A-Rod被觸身球打到左手肘時覺得頗為後悔。Duncan幫忙代跑後A-Rod離場，賽後還是堅持自己沒事沒受傷。本來隊長酸痛的膝蓋是他晴朗夜空下的唯一烏雲，然而對隊長而言，A-Rod被觸身打到可不太妙。 : Jeter left the game in the bottom of the fifth – he grounded back to the : pitcher in the top of the fifth – after experiencing stiffness because of : irritation in his patellar tendon. "It's something that's not going to go : away without shutting it down, but it's tough to imagine playing without : him," Torre said. 因為膝蓋肌腱發炎而動作顯得僵硬，隊長在五局下離場，他在五局上打了個投手前滾地。托瑞說：「身上的傷痛還是得休養好不然也打不好，不過很難想像少了隊長要怎麼打。」 : The manager vowed to give Jeter today's series finale off, and was hopeful : that an additional day off Monday would allow Jeter to feel better when the : Toronto series begins Tuesday. 托瑞今天要隊長在這系列賽的最後一場休息，希望星期一移動日多出來的一天休息可以使他在星期二與藍鳥系列賽開始前能覺得好些。 : "It just looked like he couldn't move very well," said Torre, who said Royals : team physician Tom Phillips checked Jeter late in the game. "He gave me that : famous, 'I'll be all right,' but I said finally, 'That's not good enough.' " : Everything A-Rod does lately is great. He's hit 50 homers twice before, but : both on a bad Texas team. 「他看起來就是無法行動自如，」托瑞這麼說。賽後他請皇家防護員檢查Jeter。托瑞說：「他還是給我那句『我很好』，但我最後說：『看起來不夠好』。」最近A-Rod的成績相當了不起，他之前也曾兩次單季50HR以上過，但兩次都在糟糕的遊騎兵隊。 : "It's been a magical season so far but to be winning games in the middle of a : pennant race makes it so much more," Rodriguez said. "No doubt this is the : most fun I've had. I said in spring training it takes some people three or : four years, some one or two, but it's taken me four full years to get : comfortable in New York and to really enjoy every aspect of the game and my : teammates and also to laugh at myself a little bit." 「一直到目前為止，這一季都是神奇的一季，但能處在東區爭冠的過程中繼續獲勝，才能讓本季增添更多的神奇。」A-Rod說：「無庸置疑這是我打得最開心的一季，我在春訓中說過，有些人花了3或4年，有些人可能1或2年，但我用了整整四年才適應紐約，才真的享受比賽的每個層面，才融入我的隊友，以及懂得取笑自己一些表現。 : His stats are no laughing matter. 他的成績並不是取笑之資。 : A-Rod now holds the major league record for home runs by a third baseman with : 49 (he hit two as a designated hitter Wednesday night at Yankee Stadium). He : already holds the mark for a shortstop (57 in 2002), becoming the first to do : it at two positions. With six home runs in his last four games, 12 in his : last 18, he has the most homers by a Yankee in a single season since Maris : and Mantle in '61. 現在A-Rod是全聯盟三壘手全壘打記錄保持人：49HR（他星期三晚在洋基敲出的2支是當DH時打的）他也擁有游擊手最高全壘打的記錄（2002年57發），在這兩個守備位置，他現在都是排名第一。隨著最近四場比賽裡所敲出的6發HR，或說過去18場所敲出的12發HR的驚人成績，他已是1961年Maris與Mantle以來最多全壘打的洋基球員。 : As he barrels toward a third American League MVP award and an epic contract : extension – only Jimmie Foxx, Joe DiMaggio, Yogi Berra and Mantle have ever : won three AL MVPs – there appears no limit to where this season can end. : "I would settle for a World Championship," Rodriguez said. 雖然A-Rod正急馳向他的第三座美聯MVP(只有Foxx、DiMaggio、Berra及Mantle曾贏得三座美聯MVP）以及一份歷史性的延長合約，但A-Rod目標並不僅止於此，他說：「目標：世界大賽冠軍。」 -- ※ 發信站: 批踢踢實業坊(ptt.cc) ◆ From: 203.70.76.126
