A-Rod說了個愚蠢的評論, 沒別的了 (禁止抄襲或轉載) www.nytimes.com 作者: Jack Curry A-Rod說了一堆蠢事，有很多還是最近說的。未來他還可能說更多的蠢事。週二那天果不其然蠢事又來了。然而，總是有人會把A-Rod講的蠢話想辦法牽扯到一些不相干的事情上，說他的話有什麼用意或是在批評誰。大部份的記者聽到A-Rod稱讚Jose Reyes，說希望Reyes可以當他的隊友，都知道A-Rod 是表示對Reyes一種高度讚賞。他的評論就只是在稱讚Reyes，跟A-Rod的隊友Derek Jeter 或Johnny Damon一點關係都沒有。當A-Rod在經典賽的熱身賽明尼加國家隊以10比1擊敗馬林魚隊的賽後，被問到對Reyes 的速度有什麼看法時，他甚至還停下來微笑著開始回答，還勉強發出笑聲。很明顯他很小心地作答同時表達他對Reyes的喜愛。 "我希望" 他說完這幾個字，還停了下來發出笑聲，然後繼續說: "我希望他可以當我們球隊的開路先鋒或為我們球隊打球。看他打球讓人很快樂。" 很明顯的他應該要更小心地選擇他使用的詞句，但是他並沒有說他要Reyes來洋基隊取代Jeter或是Damon。只不過他稱讚Reyes的話聽來有點曖昧讓有心人容易起疑罷了。 A-Rod喜歡用自己特別的方式讓別人瞭解他對Reyes的欣賞，說希望Reyes當他的隊友是他對球員最高的一種讚美。因為A-Rod的臀部裡有一個囊腫，所以他可能會退出多明尼加代表隊將無法和Reyes成為隊友。之後A-Rod想了想似乎很怕他的話會被寫成頭條新聞："A-Rod想要Reyes來洋基隊"。所以透過多明尼加代表隊的發言人表示，他的評論絕對不是想要批評Jeter。從好幾年前他對Jeter發表不當的評論後(註)他和Jeter便處於一種緊張的關係，他怕同樣的事會再來一次。註: 當初A-Rod表示Jeter是"a number-two hitter", 意思是不是球隊攻擊的重心，詳請見NY-Yankees 6855。 A-Rod也打電話給洋基球隊，同時要求他們連絡紐約採訪過這件事的記者手下留情，重申他只是在稱讚Reyes，沒有要詆毁任何人的意思。他又再一次作了一件蠢事，但是假如他真的批評了他的隊友的話那他就更蠢了。 March 3, 2009, 11:40 pm A-Rod Made a Dumb Remark, Nothing More By Jack Curry Alex Rodriguez has said a lot of dumb things, many of them recently. He will probably say a lot more dumb things in the future. He said a dumb thing on Tuesday. Still, anyone trying to attach intent or malice to Rodriguez’s words is searching for something that is not there. Most of the reporters who heard Rodriguez gush about Jose Reyes by saying he wished Reyes was a teammate realized that Rodriguez was going over the top to praise Reyes. His remarks were all about Reyes, and they had nothing to do with Derek Jeter or Johnny Damon, Rodriguez’s Yankees teammates. When Rodriguez was asked about Reyes’s speed after the Dominican Republic beat the Florida Marlins, 10-1, he even paused after starting his answer to smile and force out a laugh. It was obvious he was speaking casually and was showing affection for Reyes. “I wish,” said Rodriguez, who stopped, laughed, then started again. “I wish he was leading off on our team or playing on our team. That’s fun to watch.” It is obvious Rodriguez should have chosen his words more carefully, but he did not say he wanted Reyes to replace Jeter or Damon. He picked a dubious way to compliment Reyes, nothing more. Rodriguez likes to appease people and, in his world, saying he would like to have Reyes as a teammate was the ultimate compliment. Because Rodriguez has a cyst on his hip, he and Reyes may not be teammates in the World Baseball Classic after all. Seemingly fearful of the potential headline, “A-Rod Wants Reyes on Yankees,” Rodriguez later said, through a W.B.C. spokesman, that his comments were not intended as criticism of Jeter. Rodriguez has had a strained relationship with Jeter since criticizing him several years ago, and was concerned that he had crossed him again. Rodriguez also called the Yankees and asked them to contact the New York reporters who had covered his news conference and repeat that he was praising Reyes, not disparaging anyone. He did a dumb thing. Again. But presuming that he was dissing his teammates is even sillier. -- ※ 發信站: 批踢踢實業坊(ptt.cc) ◆ From: 220.132.198.21 ※ 編輯: leddy 來自: 220.132.198.21 (03/04 23:13)
