※ 引述《pleased (typical capricorn)》之銘言： : Yankees, Sox in gridlock with two to play : http://www.yesnetworktv.com/yankees/news.asp?news_id=1416 : By Jon Lane : YES Network Online : September 30, 2005 季賽僅餘兩場洋基紅襪仍僵持不下記者Jon Lane Yes Network Online 2005年 9月30日波士頓報導 : BOSTON — Win or lose, Chien-Ming Wang was going to benefit from the : experience of pitching at Fenway Park with the season on the line. Wang’s : performance this season has been surprising, inspirational – he missed two : months with shoulder pain that was widely speculated to be a season-ending : torn rotator cuff – and reassuring, even causing Joe Torre to say that Wang : is comfortable in his own skin and comfortable to watch. 無論輸贏，王建民都從這場季賽尾聲在芬威球場先發的經驗獲益良多。王本季的表現令人驚豔，他原本被認為會因肩傷整季報銷，卻能在兩個月後歸隊讓洋基士氣大振。而且他表現穩定可靠，連Joe Torre都說王不但自己沈穩也很讓教練放心。 : After a shaky beginning, Wang was up to the task of opening the biggest : regular-season series between New York and Boston since 1978. He shook off : David Ortiz’s RBI single and Jason Varitek’s home run to keep the Yankees’ : deficit at a manageable 2-1. David Wells kept the Yankee bats quiet until he : put runners on second and third with one out in the sixth, but New York came : away with nothing. 這是自1978年以來洋基與紅襪最重要的一系列季賽，儘管一開始遭遇亂流，王建民逐漸展現大將之風，證明自己有能力承擔首場先發的重任。他很快地將Ortiz一分打點安打和紅襪捕手Varitek的全壘打拋在腦後，將比數維持在二比一，讓落後的洋基仍有機會追趕。Wells使洋基打者無功而返，只在第六局一人出局後造成二三壘有人的情況，但洋基並未得分。 : The wasted opportunity was the beginning of the end. An unsightly sixth : inning led to three runs (two unearned) and a 5-3 loss that left the teams : deadlocked atop the AL East with two games left. The night wasn’t a complete : setback, as the Indians’ 3-2 loss to the White Sox left the dueling rivals : in first place in the wild card standings by one game. But to avoid a : one-game playoff at Yankee Stadium against Boston Monday, the Yankees will : have to win the next two games. And if the Indians take the next two from the : White Sox, it could force a scenario where the loser of Monday’s game plays : the Indians Tuesday for the wild card berth. 洋基錯失良機已經預告了這場比賽的結果。六局下洋基再失三分（其中兩分非自責），最後以五比三落敗，這也讓兩隊在只剩兩場賽事的情況下並列美聯東區第一。不過今晚還不算太糟，因為印地安人以三比二輸給白襪，讓洋基紅襪在外卡競逐仍領先印地安人一場勝差。為了避免週一還要加賽、在洋基主場與紅襪定勝負，洋基必須贏剩下的兩場比賽。如果印地安人接下來贏白襪兩場，還可能發生東區的輸家在週二與印地安人加賽決定外卡資格的情況。 : Brain-racking possibilities aside, Derek Jeter said there is one solution to : this mess: : “It’s the same thing,” Jeter said. “We control how we finish. We go out, : we play well, we win and we’ll be where we need to be. This game’s over : with.” 撇開這些讓人傷腦筋的不確定狀況，Jeter說要脫離這團混亂只有一個辦法：「成功掌握在我們自己手中，就是這麼回事。只要我們打得好、就能贏球，就能取得我們想要的（冠軍）位置。今天這場比賽過去就過去了。」 : When the game began, Wang looked more like a young rookie and not the : precocious saving grace he has been since his initial call-up April 27. : Handed a 1-0 lead by Hideki Matsui’s RBI single, Wang walked Johnny Damon on : five pitches, setting up Ortiz’s game-tying single. Typically unflustered, : Wang responded by whiffing Manny Ramirez with a 93 MPH heater and getting : Trot Nixon looking at a fastball on the inside corner. 球賽剛開打時，王表現得像個年輕菜鳥，少了他上大聯盟後一直被稱頌的那份老成穩重。洋基一局上靠著松井安打取得一分領先，但王在一局下保送了一棒Damaon，接著Ortiz擊出追平的一壘安打。幸好王穩定下來，以93英里快速球使Ramirez揮棒落空、Nixon拿香三振。 : In the third inning, Wang left a sinker too far up in the zone, and Varitek : crushed it into the bleachers above the Green Monster. Damon got on base : after a rare error by Alex Rodriguez. Wang erased the error by getting Ortiz : to bounce back to the mound and catching Damon in a rundown trying to advance : from second to third. In the fifth, Wang nullified a leadoff walk by inducing : Bill Mueller into a double play, showing signs he would not be rattled facing : Red Sox Nation. : “I don’t think too much,” said Wang, who claimed he wasn’t nervous during : the rocky first. “I just try to throw the ball.” 第三局一記偏高的伸卡球讓Varitek擊中飛過了綠色怪物。Damon靠著A-rod罕見的失誤上壘。王讓Ortiz擊出投手前反彈球、Damon在二三壘間被夾殺，解決了危機。第五局王在保送首名打者後讓Mueller擊出雙殺打，證明了即使身在紅襪國度，他依然能處變不驚。雖然第一局不太順利，但王建民說他並不緊張：「我不去想太多，只管好好地投球」。 : But the game got away from Wang and the Yankees, and the offense failed to : reward Wang for his grit. In the sixth, Torre decided to intentionally walk : Ortiz with one out and Damon on second and face Ramirez, conventional : strategy that set up a double play. Unfortunately, Wang allowed a single to : Ramirez to load the bases. Uncharacteristically wild, Wang walked Trot Nixon : and forced home Boston’s fourth run. He got Varitek to bounce back to first, : but Jason Giambi threw low and wide of home plate, allowing Oritz to score. : “Jason was trying to hurry the throw in and it bounced,” said Jorge Posada. : “Other than that, I thought if we would do the things we’re supposed to do : when he gives us a chance to win … Chien-Ming did that for us.” : “If you look at the rest of it, the walk to Nixon, fine,” Torre said. “But : then the ground ball to first and then the fly ball (John Olerud’s sacrifice : fly to center field) … if we make the play at the plate it’s the third out. : ” 可惜戰況漸漸不受王和洋基控制，守備沒有幫忙王維持在低比分。六局下一人出局、 Damon在二壘時，Torre決定故意保送Ortiz來對決Ramirez，這是傳統的雙殺戰術。王不幸讓Ramirez擊出安打形成滿壘。罕見的壞球讓王保送了Nixon，擠回紅襪第三分。接著王讓Varitek擊出一壘反彈球，Giambi回傳本壘卻太低太偏，Ortiz再跑回一分。 Posada說：「Jason急著把球傳回來結果傳偏了。如果不是這樣，如果在王替球隊保住贏球契機時我們有盡到我們的責任……建民已經盡到他對球隊的責任了。」 Torre則說：「整體來看，保送Nixon不算糟。只是接下來的一壘滾地球和高飛球就……如果前一球封殺成功的話，這就是三出局了。」 : Wang’s night was over after he walked Edgar Renteria with two out in the : seventh. He finished with a season-high six walks (one intentional) and : allowed five runs (three earned) to absorb his fifth loss of the season. : “Once he got rid of the jitters, which he looked like he had in the first : inning, he was getting ground balls,” Torre said. “That’s his job. I was : very satisfied with the way he pitched.” 王在七局下兩出局、保送Renteria後下場。這場比賽他投出了本季新高的六次保送（一次故意四壞）、失五分（三分責失），吞下第五敗。「當他度過第一局的亂流後，他又開始讓打者擊出許多滾地球。這就是我們希望他做到的，我很滿意他今晚的投球表現。」Torre這麼作結。 : Jeter’s two-run homer in the seventh cut Boston’s lead to 5-3 and made Red : Sox Nation sweat, but the failure of New York’s other big hitters – : Rodriguez, Giambi, Gary Sheffield and Posada were a combined 1-for-13 – left : the teams tied with two precious games to play. On the hill Saturday is Randy : Johnson, who’s ogre-like persona is a sharp contrast to Wang’s serene : approach, but an angry, animated and determined Big Unit could be what the : Yankees need to possibly avoid Monday’s one-game showdown. Jeter在七局上的兩分全壘打把比數縮小到五比三，也讓紅襪隊和紅襪迷捏了把冷汗。然而洋基隊其他強棒打擊不振，從A-Rod, Giambi, Sheffield到Posada，13個打數僅有一隻安打，使得球隊在只剩兩場季賽的時候被紅襪追上。週六即將站上投手丘的是Randy Johnson, 他的霸氣和王的內斂大相逕庭，但是看起來殺氣騰騰、生氣勃勃、一心求勝的大個兒，或許是讓洋基避免週一加賽定生死的關鍵人物。 : “We just have to get runs for him and hopefully he can dominate,” Sheffield : said. : “We’re fine. We don’t have anything to hang our heads about. We played a : good game, but we let opportunities get away. We haven’t been doing that of : late. We just have to do better tomorrow. Every game is a must-win.” 「我們必須幫他(Johnson)得分，也希望他能掌控全局。」Sheffield這麼說：「我們很好，沒什麼好覺得慚愧的。我們打得不錯，只是沒把握住機會，我們最近很少這樣。明天我們必須打得更好，每一場比賽都得贏。」（全文完） : Jon Lane is a writer/editor for YES Network Online and can be reached at : jlane@yesnetwork.com. -- ※ 發信站: 批踢踢實業坊(ptt.cc) ◆ From: 220.133.3.30
