Finish line in sight, Yankees aim for WS 再差一步，洋基瞄準世界大賽 ANAHEIM -- It has been five long years since the Yankees could claim this position, needing just nine more innings of winning baseball to punch their ticket to the World Series. 歷經五年之後，只要再下九局，洋基終於有機會再度問鼎世界大賽 Those 2004 Yankees couldn't polish off the Red Sox, but it's a different year and -- they believe -- a different story in the works. A clinching effort over the Angels on Thursday in Game 5 of the American League Championship Series would give the Yankees their 40th pennant and trip to the World Series. 2004年洋基未能打敗紅襪，今年的狀況則不一樣如果明天再拿下第五場，洋基就能第40次拿下分區冠軍並闖進世界大賽囉~ The cast of characters has been almost completely revamped from the disappointing 2004 collapse, with only Hideki Matsui, Derek Jeter, Jorge Posada, Alex Rodriguez and Mariano Rivera still wearing pinstripes on a regular basis. 5年下來洋基已經大改造只有松井、隊長、老波、A-rod和MO依然還在陣中 It is difficult for some to believe it has taken so long to get back. 很難想像他們得花那麼久的時間重回現場 "That tells you something, that it's not easy, no matter what team you're on," Rivera said. "You have to have a special team, special players, and that's what it takes to get this far. MO說：就告訴你這不是件容易的事吧，你得要有優秀的隊伍、優秀的隊友才行 "We have a great team and whatever we didn't do in years past, that's behind. We don't have to talk about it. 2009 is a different team, and we're here. That's what we should be talking about. We've got a great chance. A wonderful bunch of guys here who want to be here. We have to go out and play hard." MO又說：過去的事就過去了，2009年我們就是站在這兒~~ 不然我們現在是在聊什麼呢對吧？我們機會很好啊大夥都想前進到這我們還是必須打場好球 Though most of the team wasn't there to witness the heartache, some scars remain. Posada said that the Yankees are well aware nothing is set, and there is no underestimating an Angels club that is still very capable of authoring some nightmares. 雖然大部分的球隊是沒那機會可以在那心碎不過老波內心還是有點受傷他說：大家都知道事情還沒成天使還是有能力翻盤的 There's some young players that probably weren't even playing pro ball when that happened," Yankees manager Joe Girardi said. "But I think our guys understand how good the Angels are, and how important it is to go out and play great baseball tomorrow night and see where you're at." 隊上有些青春耶肉體還沒見識過這個大場面吉總說：不過咱耶狼都知道天使有多強，以及明天的比賽有多重要 Five years ago, New York lost a heartbreaking Game 4 in 12 innings before skidding to the finish line with three more losses against Boston -- including the final two in New York. These Yankees are hoping the series never gets that far, trying to wrap it up before boarding a cross-country flight. 五年前，洋基慘痛地被紅襪在3-1的情況下翻盤 - 包括最後在紐約的2場主場洋基當然希望今年美聯冠軍戰線別打那麼長最好是在上飛機時把冠軍盃一起打包帶上去 "You try not to think about it," Posada said. "You try to stay in the moment that we are now. Take it one day at a time. You try to maintain everything and keep everything the same. You don't want to look more forward than just tomorrow." 老波說：我們是試著不去想那麼多明天就是明天別想什麼還會有第六場、第七場 There's another reason to polish things off as soon as possible. Forgetting his very valid point about the playoff pitching sequence for a moment, Girardi said the last thing the Yankees want to do is give a good team like the Angels some momentum. 還有一個必須要把冠軍快點搞定的理由吉總說：咱們要做的就是像天使一樣儘快搞定可以給我們隊上一些衝勁 "When you have the opportunity to get something over with, you'd like to do it," Derek Jeter said. 華仔隊長：我師父說拿AK不賭的是棒槌 So there's no reason to leave anything in the tank for Game 5, with some downtime coming up between the ALCS and World Series if they can get it done. The onus is on A.J. Burnett to plant his foot on the accelerator, in what could be the game he has waited his entire life to pitch. All the Yankees have to do is keep the line moving. A.J.身負第5戰的重責他正等著用全身的小宇宙來投球，洋基上下要做的就是等著贏得「那個」時刻到來 "We have an opportunity to do something special," Johnny Damon said. "There's two more weeks left in the season and we kind of have to go full bore. That's what we're hoping for." 推崇魔人大門說：我們的確有機會拿到「那個」季賽還還2個禮拜結束希望我們能直接衝到底 It has become popular to begin comparing this Yankees team to the best of the dynasty years -- that 1998 championship club -- because of the resiliency displayed within 15 regular-season walk-off wins and now two more in the postseason. 比較文又出來了，這次大家想要的是跟1998年的冠軍陣容比誰叫他們這季打個15次再見比賽呢？ While Girardi has deflected those comments by saying the 2009 Yankees must win the World Series to march among the best, there are those who want to believe this Yankees team is better equipped to raise the 27th championship flag than almost all of its predecessors from the last decade. 吉總和有些人都相信洋基能拿下2009年也是第27次世界大賽冠軍上一次也幾乎是快10年前的事了 "The similarities are just good teams," Andy Pettitte said. "Good starting pitching, good bullpens. Obviously our lineups are a little bit better from the standpoint of power. We had great lineups from the standpoint of throwing at-bats at you, but our guys have unbelievable power and are throwing great at-bats at guys right now. 派派說：咱們跟老前輩們很像啊有好先發也有好牛不過咱們的打線是有點抱歉的威了點誰叫我們投手威打擊更威 "I've said it the whole postseason -- people were asking, 'What would you want? What would your wish list be?' There's nothing. Our team is sound. It's a matter of going out there and doing it." 派派又說：大家最近老是問我說：「你要想什麼？」沒什麼啊咱們隊上兵強馬壯出去比場好球就對了 The Yankees went through what Damon called a "hard workout" on Wednesday at Angel Stadium, smelling that finish line while making sure to stress that it isn't in sight. He'd know better than anyone, having been the lucky victor on the other end of the team that couldn't wrap things up. 洋基星期三才經歷過大門稱之為「魔鬼訓練」的東西大門比別人更知道只想靠運氣來贏是不行滴~~ "We didn't come out to win three games in a series and be happy about it," Damon said. "We'll be happy if we get that fourth win." 大門說：贏三場沒什麼好高興的，贏下第四場再來高興吧 And while the Yankees are trying hard not to look ahead, the shining beacon of the Fall Classic is difficult to ignore. The key is not letting it affect their immediate focus. 當洋基現在正在努力時大家也開始聚焦在世界大賽 "There's always something more," Mark Teixeira said. "During the season, it's, 'Hey, let's win the division.' Now it's, 'Let's get to the World Series.' You have to take it one game at a time and we've done a great job of it all year. Tomorrow night, we're going to play the game like we always have." 鐵爺說：在這兒總是有新鮮事季中時咱們說：嘿~~拿個分區冠軍吧 - 分區冠軍入手現在又是：嘿~~拿下世界大賽冠軍吧 - 甘五扣寧價簡單???? <囧事實就是明天我們要再下一城如同我們整季全力以赴一樣 -- ※ 發信站: 批踢踢實業坊(ptt.cc) ◆ From: 114.44.179.152
