翻一些Damon的部分 ※ 引述《ivanos (common sense)》之銘言： : Clutch A-Rod carries New York Yankees to brink of 27th World Series title : Mike Lupica∕New York Daily News : Monday, November 2nd 2009, 4:00 AM : http://tinyurl.com/yay6b25 : PHILADELPHIA - The night started to come to Alex Rodriguez now, Game 4 : started to come to him at Citizens Bank Park, Game 4 and the World Series and : this chance for him to be Mr. November for the Yankees. October had ended for : him with a home run against Cole Hamels in Game 3, and Game 4 was about to : come down to him against Brad Lidge, another Series hero for the Phillies one : year ago. That was against the Rays. This was the Yankees. 今晚是屬於A-Rod的... : But first Johnny Damon had to steal second with two outs, Damon had to get : to second and then keep going to third when he saw no one was there because : of the Phillies' shift against Mark Teixeira. That is how Damon started : carrying the night to A-Rod, who has been carrying the Yankees for a month. 但這一切都始於Johnny Damon在9上兩出局時盜到二壘，然後當他發現費城人為了防堵 Mark Teixeira而改變了內野守備位置導致三壘無人時立刻盜至三壘。 Damon就是這樣將這個夜晚交給了A-Rod - 這個已經帶領洋基前進了一個月的人 : "What were you doing going to third?" Damon was asked in the Yankee : clubhouse. : Johnny Damon smiled and said, "Trying to keep (Lidge) from throwing a : slider." 當Damon在clubhouse被問到"你衝向三壘是為了什麼？"的時候他微笑回答"試著阻止Lidge投滑球" : He meant that he wanted fastballs for Teixeira and fastballs for A-Rod if it : came to that. Damon has always played the game tough. But he has played it : smart, too. 他的意思是他想要讓Teixeira有很多快速球可打，或是如果有機會的話，讓A-Rod也有很多快速球可打。Damon不只一直是一個令投手們頭痛的打者，他也非常聰明。 : The Phillies had tied the Yankees 4-4 on a Pedro Feliz home run off Joba : Chamberlain in the eighth. But that was the eighth. This was the ninth. The : Yankees have had a lot of ninth inning in them all year long, as much ninth : inning in them as a baseball team can have. Now they had one more in them, on : the first of November, trying to get within a win of winning the World : Series. : "We battle," Damon said. : He battled Lidge through a long at-bat and then ended up on third on a play : that will go into Yankee legend with any baserunning play they've ever had if : they win this World Series. Lidge hit Teixeira, even though Teixeira was : hitting .071 for the Series. So Game 4 had come to Alex Rodriguez now, the : World Series had come back to him. Damon knew what Lidge knew, that if Lidge : threw one of his nasty sliders - one of his out-pitch sliders - in the dirt, : Damon was coming home with the run that would put the Yankees back up by one : in Game 4. "我們在打仗"Damon說他跟Lidge纏鬥了很久，最後以一個若洋基拿下世界冠軍的話將會進入洋基傳奇的跑壘站上了三壘，Lidge對系列戰打擊率只有0.071的Teixeira投出了觸身球，世界大賽Game 4又回到了A-Rod身上。Damon了解Lidge了解的 - 如果Lidge投出他的頂級滑球而且挖地瓜的話，他就將跑回很可能會成為洋基這場比賽的致勝分。 : Lidge threw a fastball past Rodriguez for strike one. : "But then he threw him another," Damon said. Lidge投出了一球快速球 - 好球 "可是他又投了一顆快速球給A-Rod"Damon說 : "I've never had a bigger hit," Rodriguez would say afterward. : Rodriguez knew what to do with it, hit it on a line toward the left-field : corner, hit the Phillies again, hit them the way he had when he hit the : two-run homer off Hamels the night before, hit the Phillies in the World : Series the way he had hit the Twins and the Angels. Damon scored and Teixeira : went to third and Rodriguez came flying into second. After the biggest : October of his life, the first great October of his life, now he really was : Mr. November. "我從未擊出過比這更重要的安打"A-Rod後來說到... : He had 15 RBI now for this one postseason, tying Scott Brosius and Bernie : Williams for the most in Yankee history. He has hit six home runs, and that : ties Bernie for the Yankees' single-season postseason record. He saves the : Yankees in Game 2 against the Twins with a bottom-of-the-ninth home run. He : ties the Angels in extra innings of Game 2 in the American League : Championship Series. He looks bad in the first two games of the Series but : then he gets Hamels and now he gets Lidge, and now he gets the Yankees to : tonight, their chance at World Series title No. 27. : "(Rodriguez) is the reason we're sitting here, and we're in Philadelphia : right now," Damon said. "I felt like without him, who knows where our road : may have stopped at." : It all starts because Damon refused to be struck out, because Damon didn't : stop at second after his single. Because he stole two bases on the same play. : "We always tell our runners to keep their heads up when they get to second : against a shift," Yankees third base coach Rob Thomson said, then laughed and : said, "But I can't take credit for what he did. It was just a great, great : play." 這一切都起始於Damon在9上兩出局時拒絕被三振、起始於他沒有停在二壘、起始於他只用了一球就盜了兩個壘包。"我們總是提醒我們的跑者當碰到對守內野守備移位而盜上二壘時要記得把頭抬起來觀察"洋基三壘指導教練Rob Thomson說，他接者笑著說"可是對於 Damon所完成的跑壘我不敢居功，那真是一個非常、非常偉大的跑壘" : A great play that brought the night to A-Rod. They asked him about being : locked in - again - Sunday night. : "I made an adjustment after the first two games," he said. "I was expanding : the strike zone, something I didn't do against Minnesota or Anaheim." : Then he said, "When you put a good swing on it, good things will happen." : And sometimes great things happen. CC Sabathia pitched into the seventh, : left with a 4-3 lead. Then Feliz took Joba over the left-field wall after : Joba got two fast strikeouts in the bottom of the eighth. Now hope was back : at Citizens Bank Park, big and loud. They seemed sure that the Phillies were : going to score and the Series was going to be even with Cliff Lee getting the : ball for the Phillies tonight. : But this is Alex Rodriguez's time as much as it is Sabathia's, as much as it : is old times for Mo Rivera, who got another save Sunday night. Twice the : Phillies hit A-Rod with two pitches Saturday night. "The first one woke me : up," he said. Then Joe Blanton hit him in the ribs his first time up Sunday : night and everybody got warned. : Finally it was the ninth, for a team that had more ninth inning in it this : year than any Yankee team you could remember. Then Damon was on the bases, : seeing open field in front of him like he was a running back breaking into : the secondary. He carried the night to the guy who has done the most to carry : the Yankees. A-Rod took it from there. His time. 在第9局的最後，Damon站在壘上，他終於辛苦的完成了布局者的任務，將他辛勤的成果交給了這支今年在9局逆轉戰局的次數比你記憶中的任何洋基隊都多隊伍，寬闊的視野在他眼前展開，他將這個夜晚交給了今年引領洋基前進的人 - A-Rod接手，A-Rod time 開始。 -- 寂靜原來才是最耐聽的音樂 -- ※ 發信站: 批踢踢實業坊(ptt.cc) ◆ From: 61.224.45.77
