※ 引述《PerryRod (Partridge)》之銘言： : 這篇文章實在太搞笑了，貼出來看看吧。 : From: http://tinyurl.com/yw4ue8 : If you don't want A-Rod, you're nuts : By Jim Caple : You're joking, right? You can't be serious. Sixty-one percent of you who : responded to our Page 2 poll on Tuesday wouldn't want baseball's best player : on your favorite team? You'd be disappointed if your team signed a : (soon-to-be) three-time MVP and Gold Glove winner who can play third base or : shortstop? You don't want a player who could become the all-time home run : king? If that's really true, I have another poll question for you: 別開玩笑了，有61%的人不希望阿肉在自己喜愛的隊上，一個即將成為三次MVP和金手套得主的三壘手/游擊手，一個可能是未來的全壘打王，擁有他會讓你感到失望? 好吧，那請你回答以下這個問題: : Do you feel this way because your drug problem is that severe, or because the : American educational system is that bad? Or do you simply listen to too much : sports talk radio? 你會這麼想究竟是因為 1: 毒癮太深而侵蝕了你的腦袋 2: 美國的教育制度實在太差 3: 聽了太多運動節目的評論 : Look, I'm no A-Rod apologist. He's a diva, and a bigger phony than most team : owners. But you know what? That doesn't matter. Did Lou Gehrig and Babe Ruth : get along? Was Ted Williams considered a "winner"? Did every teammate like : Reggie Jackson? Does Manny Ramirez even know what team he plays for? Baseball : is the most individual of sports, and all that really matters is what a guy : does on the field. And what A-Rod has done is average 124 runs scored, 45 : home runs and 128 RBIs per season the past 10 years. 我不是來幫阿肉辯護的，他比多數的球團老闆還要虛偽，但是你知道嗎? 這一切都不重要， Lou Gehrig 和 Babe Ruth 也合不來， Ted Williams 也不被認為是"贏家"，每個隊友都不喜歡 Reggie Jackson， Manny Ramirez 根本不知道在為哪支球隊打球棒球是個人的運動，最重要的是在球場上的表現，阿肉在過去十年來每季的平均是: 124得分 45全壘打 128打點 : I mean, just how big an ass would a player have to be for you to honestly : say, "No, sorry, I really don't want the offensive equivalent of Babe Ruth in : my lineup?" 他究竟是多麼惹人厭，才能讓你摸著良心說: 不，我真的不要一座和 Babe Ruth 相當的大砲在我隊上 : And don't give me that crap about how A-Rod would upset your club's precious : chemistry. I keep reading all these comments praising the great "chemistry" : and "teamwork" of the Boston Red Sox. Please. As if the Rockies and Indians : somehow had flaws in their character, or were bad teammates simply because : they didn't beat the Sox. So the Rockies won 21 of 22 games, and then got : swept in the World Series because their bottle of "chemistry" ran out? : Nonsense. The Red Sox didn't win it all because their character was somehow : superior to every other team's. They won because they had more talent. They : won because they had better players, better pitching, and they played the : best in October. 別跟我鬼扯說阿肉會破壞隊上的氛圍，有太多人過度讚賞紅襪隊上的互動和默契，拜託，就因為輸給了紅襪，難道落磯和笑臉人的球員在人格上都有問題，或是完全沒有團隊默契? 落磯在22場球中贏了21場，接著被紅襪橫掃的原因，是因為隊友之間的默契消失了? 紅襪之所以拿下世界冠軍，因為他們有更多天份，有更好的球員，更好的先發+牛棚，他們在十月份表現的最好，絕不是因為他們隊友的個性比全大聯盟都來的好 : It's wonderful if every teammate is like Mike Lowell or Jason Varitek, but : it's hardly necessary as long as a player produces. For crying out loud, Curt : Schilling's ego is so monstrous it's an official stop on the Boston duck boat : tour, while Manny has repeatedly asked to be traded. Talent matters, not : personality. Chuck Knoblauch was as moody a player as there ever was, yet the : Twins won a World Series and the Yankees won three straight with him in the : lineup. Jack Morris was as self-involved a player as I've ever covered, and : he was a cornerstone for three different World Series champs. 如果每個隊友都熱愛 Mike Lowell 或 Jason Varitek，這樣是最好但是只要球員能幫助球隊，其他的都不重要如果真的要說，Curt Schilling 的自尊心大的誇張， Manny 也一直要求被交易，天份最重要，而不是個性 Chuck Knoblauch 是有史以來脾氣最古怪的球員但是他在雙城和洋基贏得了四個世界冠軍 Jack Morris 是我看過最自私的人，卻替三支不同的隊伍拿下世界冠軍 : If New England fans need an example of how a player with excess baggage can : perform with a new team, look at how Randy Moss has flourished with the : Patriots this season -- in a sport that requires much more teamwork than : baseball. 如果你們這些新英格蘭的愛好者需要更多的例子，看看 Randy Moss 這一季在愛國者的表現，橄欖球是一個比棒球更需要團隊精神的運動 : And it's not like Rodriguez is a troublemaker or a bad guy. Granted, taking : his shirt off in Central Park on a sunny summer day was pretty scandalous : (the nerve of that guy!). But seriously, c'mon! At worst A-Rod is like the : office know-it-all who wants you to know how cool his 72-inch plasma screen : looks, and how well his fantasy team is doing, and where all the cool : restaurants are. But he also happens to really know his stuff, and he's able : to hack into any system and write code that really, really works. You may not : want to sit next to him, but you definitely want him in your office. 況且阿肉也不是個壞人，在中央公園中打赤膊已經算是惡名昭彰最糟的情況下，阿肉就像是那個在你辦公室裡會誇耀自己的72寸電漿電視，自己組的夢幻球隊的表現，還有和大家通報這城裡最炫的餐廳就算如此，他剛好也是個非常有能力的人，能夠駭進任何系統和寫出一些真的能用的程式，你可能不想要坐在他旁邊，但是絕對希望他在你的公司裡 : I understand people worrying that signing A-Rod would preclude their team : from obtaining other necessary players. But that's a needless concern. : Signing someone like A-Rod, Derek Jeter or Manny Ramirez to a contract for : $20 million to $25 million per year isn't what hurts a team financially. It's : signing the likes of Jeff Weaver for $8 million and Richie Sexson for $15 : million, then trading for Horacio Ramirez and his $2 million salary (not that : I have any particular team in mind). As Bill Veeck once said, "It isn't the : high price of stars that is expensive; it's the high price of mediocrity." In : that sense, signing A-Rod might help financially, because you'll be less : likely to waste your money on some stiff who won't produce (hello, Adrian : Beltre). 我能了解大家都擔心把阿肉簽下會造成隊上的財務負擔，沒有多餘的錢去簽一些其他重要的球員但是這個擔心是多餘的，用年薪兩千到兩千五百萬把阿肉或基特或咩尼簽下，絕對不是財務危機的主因是那些爛合約造成的，像是 Jeff Weaver 的八百萬， Richie Sexson 的一千五百萬，交易掉 Horacio Ramirez 與他的兩百萬年薪 Bill Veeck 有說過：最貴的不是那些高薪的明星球員，而是領著普通薪水的普通球員所以把阿肉簽下反而有助於球團財務，因為這樣你就比較不會浪費錢簽下一些不值得的球員 (Adrian Beltre?!) : Have teams gotten better after A-Rod left? Well, that depends on how you look : at it. We all took great delight trumpeting that "fact" when the Mariners : sported the best regular-season record in American League history the year : after A-Rod signed with Texas. But the Mariners haven't been to the : postseason since that 2001 season, finishing in last place three times. So : who would Mariners fans honestly rather have at third base now? A-Rod or : Adrian Beltre? Or at shortstop: A-Rod or Yuniesky Betancourt? 阿肉離開後的球隊表現有比較好嗎? 當然我們看到水手在送走阿肉的隔ꘊ締造美聯史上最好的成績但是自從那2001年以後水手就在也沒能夠回到季後賽並且在美西墊底過三次所以水手的球迷究竟希望誰在三壘呢? 阿肉還是 Adrian Beltre? 希望誰在游擊呢? 阿肉還是 Yuniesky Betancourt? : While it was fun booing and laughing at A-Rod during that incredible 2001 : season, just remember, the Mariners went equally deep in the postseason in : 2000 (one game further, actually) and they wouldn't have made the playoffs : that year if it hadn't been for A-Rod's hitting .316 with a .420 on-base : percentage, 41 home runs, 134 runs scored and 132 RBIs. (By the way, A-Rod : also hit .371 with two home runs and seven RBIs in that postseason). 雖然在2001那年酸阿肉很好玩，但是那年水手也是在第二輪就回家了，跟2000年的情況一模一樣更何況那年如果沒有阿肉打出這樣的成績：打擊率 .316 上壘率 .420 全壘打 41 得分 134 打點 132 2000年的水手根本連季後賽都進不去順帶一提，阿肉那年季後賽打擊率有三成七一，兩支全壘打和七分打點 : And while the Rangers did improve to 89-73 the season after they traded : A-Rod, they haven't had a winning record since and landed right back in last : place this year. 至於條子，雖然在阿肉離開後的成績有進步到 89-73，可是自從那年以後，就一直輸多贏少了 : As for A-Rod's poor postseason play? That's overblown. Yes, he was awful in : 2005 and 2006. But does anyone really think that Rodriguez's batting .267 : with a .353 on-base percentage and one home run this October was more to : blame for the Yankees' loss to the Indians than Chien-Ming Wang and his 19.06 : ERA in two losses? Does anyone think A-Rod struggled more than Derek Jeter : (.176, no runs, one RBI)? Or that A-Rod's 2004 postseason (.320, 11 runs, : eight RBIs, three home runs) was why the Yankees didn't reach the World : Series that year? For that matter, do Angels fans want Vladimir Guerrero off : their team because he has three hits in his past 30 postseason at-bats? 大家常拿阿肉的季後賽表現來作文章，其實都太大驚小怪了，我承認在05，06年他打的真的很爛，但是大家真的認為今年他的表現 (打擊率.267 上壘率.353 一支全壘打) 是洋基輸球的主因嗎? 看一下小王的防禦率(19.06) 還有基特的 .176打擊率和一分打點吧! 2004年的阿肉(打擊率.320 得分 11 打點 8 全壘打 3) 也是害洋基被逆轉的原因嗎? 天使隊的球迷也沒有因為 Vladimir Guerrero 在季後賽表現不好 (三十打數只有三安打) 就想要把他踢出球隊 : Obviously A-Rod put too much pressure on himself and tried to do too much in : New York each October. Naturally, that brought on the predictable result of : subpar performance. But to say that a player who's hit .313, .308, .409 and : .421 in four of his eight postseason series as a starter (including one : series against, and another with, the Yankees) can't succeed in October is : just insane. 因為阿肉給自己太多壓力，試著想要在十月份表現好，他那低於大家要求的結果是可想而知的可是說他季後一條蟲也太離譜了，畢竟他有四個季後賽打出 .313 .308 .409 .421的成績 : The point is, unless you surround him with the league's worst pitching staff : (I'm talking to you, Tom Hicks), A-Rod will help get your team in position to : play each October. And if you don't think so, I suggest you look at the back : of his baseball card and then honestly say those numbers wouldn't help your : team. 重點是，除非你擁有全聯盟最爛的投手群，阿肉一定可以幫助你的球隊打進季後賽，如果你還是不這麼認為請看看阿肉的棒球卡背面的數字並再次摸著良心說這種數字對我的球隊一點幫助都沒有 : And if that still doesn't convince you, I give up. I just wish you were the : general manager of your favorite team. That way, there'd be one less suitor : for the best player in baseball. 好吧，如果這一切都還不能說服你，我放棄了我只希望你是你最愛球隊的GM，因為這樣阿肉就可以少一個追求者第一次翻譯，請多指教 -- ※ 發信站: 批踢踢實業坊(ptt.cc) ◆ From: 128.220.3.73
