無意間發現 Chicago Sports Weekly 電子版這應該不是什麼太專業的運動報導不過有些內容非常有趣其中有冉柏牛和 Barrett 日記 (搞笑版) 木頭奇蹟的恢復 (不要看比較好看了你會非常擔心) 還有一篇 A Play Date with Destiny 講我們家的年輕人這似乎是一篇很自嗨的文章雖然是自嗨還是翻一下來高興一下 If you've ever been to a minor league baseball game, you've probably borne witness to the time-honored ritual known as " kids run the bases." After the game is over, tykes of all shapes and sizes go toe-to-toe with the mascot before acting out their dreams by dashing from one white bag to the next, then jumping triumphantly on home plate for punctuation. 如果你曾經去看過一場小聯盟的比賽你也許曾看過一個特別的儀式 - "kids run the bases" 比賽結束後小朋友們跟著吉祥物跑壘包然後衝回本壘慶祝勝利 In the NL Central, every night is "kids run the bases" night. The division-leading Milwaukee Brewers start five position players who are 25-and-under. The average age of the Brew Crew's starting rotation is 28.8 years, and that's mostly due to old fart Jeff Suppan, who dragged his World Series ring into Miller Park on gnarled 32-year-old .fingers. Relief pitcher Carlos Villanueva is 23 years of age. Yovani Gallardo had been old enough to legally drink lite beer for less than four months when he threw his firstmajor-league pitch in front of Bernie Brewer. 在國聯中區每晚都有 "kids run the bases" 這個分區的第一名釀酒人隊有五個年紀不超過25歲的先發野手釀酒人的先發投手群平均年齡是 28.8歲不過這是因為 32歲的 Jeff Suppan 拉大了平均年齡救援投手 Carlos Villanueva 只有 23 歲 Yovani Gallardo 才剛可以合法的喝酒 The Cubs are three-and-a-half games behind the Brewers at the time of this writing, and their roster puts forth a similar baby-face. Former LSU teammates Ryan Theriot and Mike Fontenot are both 27. Matt Murton and Angel Pagan combine for a mere half-century. Felix Pie is twenty freaking-two. The Cubbies' starting rotation has an average age of 27.2 years. Sean Gallagher has appeared in four games at the tender age of 21-rumor has it that Skipper Lou has mistaken him for the bat boy a few times. 在我寫這篇文章的時候小熊隊落後釀酒人隊 3.5 場他們的隊裡也有一群娃娃臉前 LSU 隊友 Ryan Theriot 和 Mike Fontenot 都是 27 歲 Matt Murton 和 Angel Pagan 年齡加起差不多只有半世紀 Felix Pie 只有 22 歲小熊的先發投手群平均年齡 27.2 歲 Sean Gallagher 只有 21 歲他目前只出場 4 次謠言指出老皮曾數次把他誤認為球童 (XD) I guess the question on everyone's mind is: What's in the Lake Michigan water? What's making these kids play so well? 這讓人不禁想問密西根湖水到底有什麼特別成分? 讓小朋友們喝了以後頭好壯壯? Other division leaders are getting it done with wily veterans. The Red Sox rotation would rather listen to Foghat than The Killers. Dice-K and Papelbon are the youngest regulars, and they're both 26. The Detroit Tigers lead the AL Central with an under-30 starting five sans Kenny Rogers, but the offense skews much older, with all but Curtis Granderson in the over-30 bracket. Only the Angels have balance in the American League, with the average age of their team hovering around 28.7 years-maybe it's the Disneyland influence. 其他分區第一名主要是靠老將紅襪隊的陣容裡最年輕的是 Dice-K 和 Papelbon, 他們兩個都是 26 歲老虎隊的先發投手群除了 Kenny Rogers 都在 30 歲以下但是先發野手除了 Curtis Granderson 其他人都超過 30 歲美聯裡似乎只有天使隊比較平衡他們的平均年齡是 28.7 歲 - 這也許是狄氏尼樂園的影響 In the NL, the Mets have two of the most exciting young players in baseball in 24-year-olds David Wright and Jose Reyes. But hanging on to Tom Glavine, El Duque and, until recently, Julio Franco makes the teamlook positively Methusela-esque. The NL Central-leading Dodgers must stock up on Ben-Gay to keep Jeff Kent, Rudy Seanez and Luis Gonzalez limber while they're pushing 40. But does it matter? Or is age just a number? 現在讓我們看看國聯大都會隊有兩個最令人期待的年輕人 - 24 歲的 David Wright 和 Jose Reyes (其他部分省略) Since the turn of the millennium, the average age of a World Series winner is 29.9 years. The Yankees won the Subway Series with the oldest roster at 31.65, but just two years later the brash Florida Marlins turned the tide with a bought-and-paid for roster featuring a mean age of 27 on the dot, this even as the average age across baseball has risen. 千禧年之後世界大賽冠軍的平均年齡是 29.9 歲 (好吧洋基隊一行我無法理解所以跳過 XD) 兩年以後平均年齡只有 27 歲多的馬林魚贏得世界冠軍儘管實際上大聯盟球員的平均年齡持續上升中 The Brewers have an interesting mix of youngsters, with All-Star scions Prince Fielder and Tony Gwynn, Jr. Ryan J. Braun might not have the pedigree, but he learned how to knock the cover off of the ball at the mighty University of Miami and has shown no signs of slowing down or being intimidated by his surroundings. He's the best rookie hitter in the game right now. 釀酒人有最有趣的年輕人組合有 All-Star 家庭背景的 Prince Fielder 和 Tony Gwynn Jr. Ryan J. Braun 也許沒有那樣顯赫的家世但是他在邁阿密大學學會把球皮打掉的技能而且一點都不怕比不上他厲害的隊友們他是現在聯盟最好的菜鳥選手 The Cubs are a less imposing crew. Theriot and Fontenot together barely make up one Carlos Zambrano. At 5'8" and 170 pounds, Fontenot is in grave danger of being called "scrappy." But the Cajuns know how to win-they played together on the 2000 College World Series champs. Felix Pie may be only 22, but he got his first major league hit off of repeat Cy Young winner Greg Maddux, who is nearly twice his age. And Lou Piniella might just have enough agerelated wisdom to get the younger Cubs to do what it takes to charge up that 3.5 game hill and take over the division lead. Until then, let's all enjoy the exuberance of the top two teams in the Central. A little extra speed on the basepaths might be good for what ails you. 小熊的年輕人群沒有那麼厲害 Theriot 和 Fontenot 加起來差不多是一個 Zambrano (這是指體重吧 XD) 不過這兩個路易西安那州出產的棒球選手知道怎麼贏球他們一起得到了 2000年的大學冠軍盃 Felix Pie 雖然只有 22 歲但他的大聯盟第一支安打是從賽揚獎常客 Greg Maddux 手中打出來的而 Lou Piniella 也許有剛好足夠的智慧帶領年輕的小熊攻過這 3.5 場的差距取得分區領先的地位在這之前我們就先享受這兩支隊伍帶來的年輕活力吧 http://csweekly.com/CSWEEKLY/july25.pdf ※ 編輯: shawshien 來自: 76.98.128.177 (07/28 04:31) ※ 編輯: shawshien 來自: 76.98.128.177 (07/28 04:34)
