Tampa Bay Rays rally from 7-0 deficit to beat New York Yankees 8-7 in 12 innings, win AL wild-card race as Boston Red Sox lose finale http://tinyurl.com/6lx7pft ST. PETERSBURG — The only thing wilder than the ending Wednesday night was the celebration in the Rays clubhouse. And the explanations for what they did. 最為不可思議的週三夜晚，在光芒的慶功會裡結束。 The Rays extended their amazing season in stunning, staggering fashion, winning the American League wild card when Evan Longoria hit a walkoff homer in the 12th inning to complete a remarkable comeback with an 8-7 win moments after the Red Sox blew a ninth-inning lead in Baltimore. 光芒延續了這驚人的球季，以漂亮、難以置信的方式贏得了美聯外卡，龍哥在12局下的再見全壘打完成了驚人的大逆轉，在此之前紅襪也被金鶯逆轉落敗。 "There is no human explanation for what happened here," Ben Zobrist said. "That just doesn't happen in baseball. This is what you would dream about happening." 「沒有人可以解釋發生了甚麼事。」Zoby說：「這不會發生在棒球場上，這只會發生在你的夢裡。」 If the Rays didn't believe it as the champagne and beer sprayed around their clubhouse early this morning, they will when they get to Texas this afternoon and open the best-of-five AL Division Series on Friday, a rematch of last season. 即使光芒在今早不會相信香檳與啤酒將會灑滿他們的休息室，不過他們仍舊將到德州去，去與遊騎兵展開五場ALDS，為去年報仇。 "Oh my God. It's really made for some kind of book, whether it's a fairy tale or something,'' Longoria said. "It's tough to do. But we did it somehow." 「我的天，這就像一本故事，不管他是童話還是甚麼。」龍哥：「故事很難寫，但不管怎樣我們就是做到了。」 All it took Wednesday was a stunning and stirring comeback from a seven-run seventh-inning deficit capped by Longoria's three-run homer. A two-out, two-strike homer in the bottom of the ninth by Dan Johnson, yes, that Dan Johnson, to tie. Then — moments after the Boston loss flashed on the scoreboard — Longoria homered in the 12th at 12:05 a.m. and rounded the bases with a massive celebration breaking out, Born to be Wild blaring. 週三的驚奇大逆轉由龍哥的三分炮開始。九下，兩人出局，2-2的情況下輪到了蛋強森，是的，那個蛋哥，追平全壘打。然後─當波士頓被金鶯逆轉的時候─龍哥在三分鐘後來了一發再見全壘打，汽笛聲開始大作。 "This is going to go down with (Bobby) Thomson's home run, Joe Carter's home run,'' Rays manager Joe Maddon said after the nearly five-hour game. "I know it's not the World Series, but this is going to be attached to a lot of significant baseball lore as we move forward.'' 「這支全壘打將會跟Thomson跟Joe Carter的全壘打記載在同一頁上，」西瓜說：「我知道現在不是世界大賽，但這將會像許多棒球傳說一樣推進我們向前。」 Just to get to extra innings took a remarkable comeback, their largest of this season and second biggest in Tampa Bay franchise history, and before a raucous Tropicana Field crowd of 29,518. 延長賽的驚奇大逆轉，是本季最大逆轉比分，隊史第二大逆轉比賽。就在29,518名球迷面前。 Down 7-0 through seven inning after a disappointing start by David Price, the Rays rallied for six runs in the eighth, capped by a three-run homer that was Longoria's 30th of the season. But that was topped by what happened in the ninth. Down to their last out, the Rays reached for their luckiest charm, sending up Johnson — who hit The homer in Boston in September 2008 — and he delivered another dagger to the Red Sox. "I told B.J. (Upton) before he went to the plate this is gonna be a rerun of 2008,'' Longoria said. "I don't know how he does it.'' 蛋哥是個magic man!(重複部分太多懶得翻了) Said Maddon: "I was hoping.'' 西瓜←甚麼都沒做，只發正念。 Down to his last strike, Johnson lined Cory Wade's 2-and-2 pitch on a line drive just inside the rightfield foul pole to tie the score. And then that was topped by what happened in the 12th. After rookies Brandon Gomes and Jake McGee again pitched in with scoreless innings, and after Longoria made another tremendous defensive play in the top of the 12th, they finally ended it in the bottom. Longoria was at the plate with one out when the cheers erupted with the Red Sox loss, and he stepped out of the box to focus. "Just tried to remember what we were playing for," he said. "Obviously we had an opportunity at that point to win and get into the playoffs." He grasped it, lining a 2-and-2 pitch from Scott Proctor just the over the short wall in the leftfield corner. "I was just thinking, 'Wow, did this just really happen,' " Longoria said. "When I saw it clear the fence it didn't seem real." 蛋哥真的很magic，牛棚很solid，龍哥很dramatic。 The Rays had both champagne (212 bottles) and beer (40 cases) chilled for a potential clinching celebration and equipment bags loaded for the trip to Texas and improbably they needed both, as barely eight minutes lapsed from when the Red Sox loss till the Rays won. The game turned out to be a classic, and also a battle of attrition. The Rays used 18 position players and eight pitchers, and with Upton cramping up at the end, Maddon said he was prepared to put DH Johnny Damon in the outfield and use Andy Sonnanstine as a pinch-hitter. Also, the next pitcher was going to be Monday starter James Shields. 當12局下B.J被三振後，西瓜已經準備好讓大門守備，SONNY上來"代打"，在這之後阿盾也會上去投球。 Having battled so valiantly, so relentlessly and so improbably over the last month to go into Wednesday's season finale with a chance, the Rays couldn't have gotten off to a worse start. A defensive mistake by second baseman Zobrist and a brutally bad pitching performance from Price, who performed nothing like the ace he is supposed to be, putting them in a 5-0 hole by the second inning, and it was 7-0 by the fifth as the Rays had only two hits against the Yankees patchwork pitching staff. 贏了很熱血，但是過程相當掙扎，其實可以不必贏得那麼辛苦才對。 The Rays became the first team to make the postseason after being nine games out in September. "This team has something special inside of it,'' team president Matt Silverman said. "We can't wait to see where it's going to take us.'' 光芒創下了歷史，成為史上第一個在九月落後九場後晉級季後賽的球隊。本來想仔細翻的，無奈內容重覆的地方夭壽多...所以後面就簡單翻譯了。如有翻錯或是不好的地方請務必跟我說一聲。 -- ※ 發信站: 批踢踢實業坊(ptt.cc) ◆ From: 182.233.225.113
