※ 引述《yyhong68 (come every now and then)》之铭言： : 08/30/2007 1:45 AM ET : Yankees seek sweep behind Wang 洋基仰赖小王横扫红袜 : Boston (80-53) at New York (74-59), Thursday, 1:05 p.m. ET : By Anthony DiComo / MLB.com : Just like that, Chien-Ming Wang doesn't seem so young anymore. 曾几何时，王建民已不再是大家眼中的「菜鸟」。 : He's always pitched well beyond his years, ever since arriving in the Bronx : as a collected 25-year-old in 2005. But since he's become the ace of a staff : that includes 21-year-old Phil Hughes and, now, 22-year-old Ian Kennedy, Wang : has had to assume an even greater maturity. 打从前年以25岁菜鸟之姿在大联盟初登板以来，小王的表现总是维持一贯的水准。如今， 当21岁的Hughes和22岁的Kennedy纷纷成为队上新战力後，更趋成熟的小王俨然是这群新 世代投手中的王牌。 : He's now a relatively elder statesman, trailing just Roger Clemens and : Andy Pettitte in years -- but pitching just as well, if not better, than both : of them. 小王现在已是个相对较「老」的投手，且跟随着队上老大哥（老克和老派）的脚步，其投 球表现甚至尤有过之。 : And while Wang is still just 27, he's certainly not young. : "Not anymore, he isn't," said Yankees manager Joe Torre. "Our expectations : of him are pretty high." 尽管他才27岁，但感觉上却并非如此年轻。 「这孩子不再是个菜鸟啦，」Torre说：「我们对他的期待是相当大的。」 : Which means that when Wang takes the mound with a shot at a critical series : sweep -- as he will against the Red Sox on Thursday afternoon -- the Yankees : expect him to win. And why not? He's started 24 games, and the Yankees have : lost just six of them -- only one per month for each of the last three months. : He's already seen the Red Sox three times this year, and beaten them twice. 言下之意为小王肩负着於此关键系列赛中横扫对手的重任，而洋基也期待他能拿下胜利。 为什麽不呢？看看小王本季的24场先发中，洋基仅仅输掉六场，且在最近三个月中皆为每 月一败。小王本季与红袜交手三次，战绩则是两胜零败。 : Yet those three starts were all completed by June 1, and while games at that : early stage of the year count just as much in the standings, they don't : usually weigh as much on the psyche. A win -- and a sweep -- would push the : Yankees almost as close to the Red Sox as they were a week and a half ago, : whereas a loss would wash away half the work they completed in the first : two games of the series. 小王之前最後一次对战红袜是在六月一日，当时洋基对於分区排名的落後毕竟还没有太大 的战绩压力，然而在球季只剩一个月的今日，一场胜利 - 尤其是基袜系列战三场横扫 - 将会大大拉近洋基於分区排名追赶的脚步；相对地，一场败战也会使他们前两场的胜果毁 去一半。 : Thursday's task of taking down Red Sox starter Curt Schilling won't be : easy -- but then again, neither was defeating Josh Beckett on Wednesday or : Daisuke Matsuzaka the night before. 想要在周四此战打垮席琳并非易事，不过周二炮轰牛肉，周三棒打北极同样困难，但洋基 做到了。 : "Everyone you look at these three days is special," Torre said of the Boston : rotation. "They've got some horses they can throw out there." 「每个人都知道这是相当关键的三场，」Torre谈到红袜的投手轮值：「而他们确实也祭 出了最佳的阵容来应战。」 : Schilling remains a vital part of that stable, even as he ventures well past : 40 years old. He's recovered from a three-game losing streak to now win two : straight, and like Wang, he holds the hopes of his team on his shoulders. 如今在前方把关的是老当益壮的席琳，最近在三连败之後二连胜的他，和小王一样肩负着 队上的希望。 : There may ultimately be more hyped games to come, as the Yankees become more : and more likely to train their sights on the American League Wild Card. But : dismissing any game's importance at this time of year would be a critical : mistake. 随着球季逼近尾声，洋基将目标放在美联外卡冠军应为较实际的做法。但若因而轻忽接下 来任何一场比赛的重要性，对球队而言都可能会是个致命的失误。 : "There's 30 games left," Torre said, "and we're going to try to go out there : and win every one." 「还剩三十场比赛，」Torre说：「我们接下来必须以赢得每一场比赛为目标。」 : Pitching matchup : NYY: RHP Chien-Ming Wang (15-6, 3.95 ERA) : Wang bounced back from two rough starts to give the Yankees two solid ones, : lasting eight innings in a win at Detroit last week. If he can beat the : Red Sox, it would mark the fourth time this season that he's had a winning : streak of at least three games. Wang has been shaky in three starts against : the Red Sox this year, allowing nearly two baserunners per inning, but still : managing to win two of his three starts. 王建民 小王在两场糟糕的先发後谷底反弹，近两场的先发表现逐渐恢复水准，上一场投八局打虎 获胜。今天小王对红袜若能夺胜，将会是他本季第四度的（至少）三连胜。其实小王今年 对红袜三场先发表现颇抖，WHIP接近2，但仍旧拿下两胜零败。 : BOS: RHP Curt Schilling (8-5, 4.11 ERA) : Schilling has allowed five earned runs all three times he's faced the Yankees : this season. Twice, the team has won -- though the right-hander was long gone : on both occasions. And while wins are the bottom line, Schilling can't be : encouraged by the fact that the Yankees are hitting him at a .372 clip. 席琳姐 席琳本季三度面对洋基皆掉五分责失，球队则在这三场中取得两胜 - 尽管都不是他拿胜 投。另外，洋基打者对他的整体打击率高达.372。 : Player to watch : David Ortiz hasn't had much trouble lifting Wang's sinker skyward, having : clubbed two homers in 24 career at-bats off the right-hander. He's also : amassed 10 other hits -- pushing his average off Wang to .500 -- and walked : five times. : http://tinyurl.com/2eogxm 有错请指正 希望小王夺十六胜横扫红袜！ --
