http://mlb.mlb.com/news/article.jsp?ymd=20091008&content_id=7392574&vkey=news_ mlb&fext=.jsp&c_id=mlb NEW YORK -- The Yankees showed on Wednesday night at Yankee Stadium what made them the most dominant team in Major League Baseball this season. The Bombers defeated the Twins, 7-2, with great pitching, aggressive baserunning and two-run homers from Derek Jeter and Hideki Matsui to take a 1-0 lead in their American League Division Series that continues with Game 2 on TBS at 6:07 ET on Friday evening. 前面都在講上一場如何贏球、兩隊背景。 There's no doubt that if the Yankees keep clicking like this on all cylinders, they will make short work of the Twins in this best-of-five series. A.J. Burnett is slated to start for New York against Minnesota's Nick Blackburn in a matchup of right-handers. "The thing that the Yankees do is put continuous pressure on you, offensively," said Twins manager Rod Gardenhire, during a Thursday morning news conference. "As you go along in the games, these guys are really, really professional hitters. You can't make any mistakes. You can't walk people. And it's a constantly they put pressure on you. They put pressure on your pitchers -- on everything, because they have quality at-bats as the game goes along, they get better and better." 如果洋基再像上場一樣砲火猛烈，要快速解決雙城是可以想見的。雙城教頭Gardenhire盛讚了洋基一番，尤其是打線。「要對付這群非常，非常專業的打者，你絕對不能有一點差錯，否則他們會接連施予壓力，你連保送也不行──他們每一個環節都很猛，而且越打越好。」他說。 Including the playoff loss, the Twins have gone 0-for-8 in games against the Yankees this season, and 0-for-5 at the new Yankee Stadium. Their last win in the Bronx was at the old Cathedral, just across 161st Street, on July 4, 2007. Since that Independence Day, Minnesota has lost nine in a row in this neighborhood where it enjoys a day off on Thursday. The Twins are also 2-7 in ALDS play against the Yankees, losing to them in 2003 and '04, in four games each. At least in those years, Minnesota won the first game of each series in the old stadium before losing the next three games. The Twins don't even have that advantage this time. 雙城對上洋基的記錄並不光彩，加上上一場連同季賽已經對戰零勝八敗。季賽在紐約則是零勝五敗。上次在紐約贏球，已是07年美國國慶當天，在紐約老球場。而季後賽第一輪碰上洋基的紀錄，雙城目前則是兩勝七敗。上兩次遇到事03, 04兩年，都是1-3輸球。然而，上兩次都是第一場先贏下來，這回卻連這點優勢也沒有。附: 第二戰先發分析 Game 2 starters 雙城Nick Blackburn 洋基A.J.

Of course, the club was three games behind the Tigers in the AL Central with four to play before tying Detroit. The Twins defeated the Tigers, 6-5, in a 12-inning tiebreaker thriller at home on Tuesday night and then hopped a flight to New York. "Well, I can only put them out on the field and let them play," Gardenhire said. "The manager's job is to put them out there, let them play the game, hopefully get a few hits, score a few runs early and go from there. You don't try to change the way you attack things -- we have been attacking for a month as hard as we can." 雙城不希望帶著0勝2負回到主場。他們剛在12局加賽擊敗老虎，就馬上飛到紐約。雙城教頭表示，這一個月來大家已經很賣力了，可以做的就只有那麼多，他現在就是把球員帶到場上，讓他們自己發揮，打幾支是幾支，打幾分是幾分。 The Yankees, though, are healthy and well-rested. They clinched a playoff spot 16 days ago and used the time to set up their postseason rotation and roster. Finishing the season with a Major League-best 103 wins gave them the right to choose the eight-day opening-round series with three games in the first five days. It also allowed New York to go with three starters and move Joba Chamberlain, who came on to face one batter to end the eighth inning on Wednesday night, back to the bullpen. "We like our bullpen a lot," Yankees manager Joe Girardi said on Thursday after his club worked out. "We've liked it a lot since we've made the changes we made. I think it started in late April and it continued on through May a little bit. We think we have a deep bullpen, and Joba just adds to that. You're moving a guy that has had a lot of success in the bullpen." 洋基則是以逸待勞。他們用16天來好好調整季後賽陣容，還打出本季聯盟最佳103勝。他們因此可以選擇季後賽版本，最後選擇八天制賽程，因為這樣就可以用前五天的三場球就可以用3個先發，然後把小張放到牛棚。吉總表示，他對現在的牛棚很滿意，小張讓牛棚深度增加。 The go-ahead run Wednesday night scored in the fourth inning, when third-base coach Rob Thomson wasn't afraid to wave Robinson Cano home with two outs on Nick Swisher's double into the left-field corner. Cano, who was on first base, broke into a sprint on the play, and Orlando Cabrera's relay throw to the plate was off the mark and up the first-base line. Under Girardi's tutelage, the Yankees are obviously more aggressive than they were in the waning seasons under Joe Torre, who won four World Series during his 12-year stewardship, the last against the Mets in 2000. Girardi, who managed his first playoff game to a victory on Wednesday night, said the key to the club's success is not deviating from what works. 上一場比賽洋基的超前分是卡諾從一壘狂奔回本壘跑回的。三壘教練的指示大膽，但吉總說這是接下來洋基的取分方針。這有別於托瑞在洋基帶隊的方式。 "What you did in the regular season, the preparation, the way you went about your business is what got you here," he said. "Don't try to reinvent the wheel when you get to the playoffs. It's important that you just do what you've done all year long. You still have the same players. You still have the same starting rotation, the same bullpen that we had three days ago." No doubt if the Yankees continue to play the same, they will be awfully tough to beat. 「過去一季我們做過的，現在就是要拿來再用。打季後賽不用再想新花招，因為該玩的、該試的季賽都用過了，而且球員陣容都與季賽一樣。」如果洋基照樣打下去，他們會變得非常可怕。 -- ※ 發信站: 批踢踢實業坊(ptt.cc) ◆ From: 82.139.87.251
