Just like that, Chien-Ming Wang doesn't seem so young anymore. 小王似乎不再年輕 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. 從小王在2005年以25歲的年齡升上大聯盟之後,他的表現超過了他的年齡水準而他成為了輪值表中的ace(包括Hughes和Kennedy),所以他必須表現的更成熟 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. 小王現在也是"老人"了,資歷只比Clemens和Pettitte少不過他的表現還是一樣好,就算沒有非常好,也不會輸給其他人 And while Wang is still just 27, he's certainly not young. 小王27歲了,不算年輕了 "Not anymore, he isn't," said Yankees manager Joe Torre. "Our expectations of him are pretty high." "我們對他的期望非常高"老托說 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. 洋基期望小王在禮拜四的先發可以得勝,也可以幫助橫掃紅襪而他在過去的24場先發只輸了6場,過去的三個月,每月都只各輸一場本季面對紅襪3次,而取得了2勝 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. 這場勝利=>橫掃,可以幫助洋基更靠近紅襪一步而且可以回到一個半禮拜前的場差,否則前兩場勝利的優勢將瞬間少掉一半 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. 紅襪派出的Schilling也是不好惹的不過前兩場的Beckett和Matsuzaka還不是一樣被打敗了 "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." "這三場比賽非常的特別重要"老托說 (這句不太會翻 horses?) 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. Schilling仍然是隊上重要的人,即使他已經40歲了他之前連輸三場,而最近是二連勝他跟小王一樣,球隊對他寄予很大的期望 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. 接下來會有很多精采的比賽,因為這將關係到洋基的外卡資格所以每一場比賽都不能忽略他的重要性 "There's 30 games left," Torre said, "and we're going to try to go out there and win every one." "剩下30場比賽了"老托說 "要盡可能的贏得每一場" -- ※ 發信站: 批踢踢實業坊(ptt.cc) ◆ From: 61.228.174.135
