※ 引述《pleased ()》之銘言： : Mussina gets milestone 20th victory : http://myurl.com.tw/230j (NYY Official) : BOSTON -- Mike Mussina started the day with a crossword puzzle and finished : it munching on McDonald's french fries. Between these two staples of his : life, the notorious creature of habit found the time to try something new: : becoming a 20-game winner. Mike Mussina 用玩文字遊戲和啃麥當當的薯條來開始他的這一天，在這兩種生活瑣碎的事務中他嘗試著成就些不一樣的東西:成為單季二十勝的投手。 : In what he admits might have been the final start of his Major League career, : the right-hander added an important line to his vaunted resume on Sunday, : reaching an elusive career milestone by defeating the Red Sox, 6-2, on the : last day of the regular season. 在這很有可能是他大聯盟生涯最後一次先發，這位右投手在他璀璨的履歷上又加上了一筆在季賽的最後一天，以6-2打倒了紅襪。這是一個新的里程碑。 : "This is one of those things that's going to take a little while to sink in," : Mussina said. "I've been playing baseball a long time, and I've accomplished : some things. I've been on championship teams, had some really good years, and : this is the last day of the season of a split doubleheader in Boston in the : rain ... It's just kind of perfect. The story just fit together nicely." "這是一件需要點時間沈澱的事" Mussina說 "我在球場闖蕩多年，完成過一些成就，待過冠軍的球隊，也經歷過一些美好的球季。這是球季的最後一天，又是一場雙重賽在波士頓，外頭飄著細雨...這是多麼的完美阿！一個故事就應該有這些的。" : By throwing six innings of scoreless ball, Mussina lined up for his : long-pursued accomplishment exactly 12 years to the date of his last : opportunity to win No. 20, when he was pitching for the Baltimore Orioles. : After logging the 270th victory of his Major League career, he said he has : some interest in continuing to pitch but would be "completely satisfied" in : walking away as well. 在六局無失分下達到了他追求以久的20勝，這和他上次有相同機會在Baltimore已經相隔了12年了。在生涯270勝到手時，他覺得他還是很有興趣繼續投下去，但是如果沒有機會他已經很滿足了。 : "It's my last game in my last year [under contract], and I don't know what : the future holds," he said. "It could be my last year, it may not be my last : year. When you get to your 18th season, it could always be your last season." "這是我合約上的最後一年，我也不知道我的未來會怎麼樣" 他說 "這可能是我最後的一年，但也有可能不是。當你已經經歷了18個球季，隨時都有可能是最後一季" : In hopes of securing the victory for Mussina, manager Joe Girardi fielded a : lineup featuring most of his regulars. The only exception was shortstop Derek : Jeter, who asked out with a sore left hand so he would not hurt Mussina's : chances. 全心幫助Mussina取得這一勝的總教練Girardi，排出了正規的打線。唯一的例外是Jeter ，因為他的手傷，不希望會影響到Mussina的勝利 : "Guys were so happy," Girardi said. "They were clapping when he came in, and : there were a lot of hugs when he came back on the field. It was a special : moment for Moose." "我們都很高興" Girardi說 "我們拍手當他進來的時候，而當他回到球場的時候也有許多的擁抱，這對Moose是一個非常特別的時刻" : "I just feel really happy for him," catcher Jose Molina said. "After all the : struggles that he had last year, to come back and win 20 games and have a : good season, that tells you what kind of guy he is. A lot of people wanted to : be there for the 20th win." "我真的真的替他感到高興" 捕手Molina說 "畢竟他上個球季是如此的掙扎，現在他回來了，而且在美好的球季贏得了20勝，這證明了他是怎麼樣的一位選手，那是有多少人期望的20勝阿" : Over his 18-year career, Mussina has accepted a tag of "Mr. Almost," having : come tantalizingly close to but never winning a Cy Young Award or a World : Series game, or throwing a perfect game. : Armando Benitez blew Mussina's last chance at a 20-win season in Toronto by 在過去18個球季，Mussina被貼上了"差一點先生"的標籤，幾乎贏得Cy Young Award或者世界大賽，或者完全比賽。" : surrendering a ninth-inning home run to Ed Sprague, and Mussina never could : have imagined he'd have to wait so long for another shot. He became the : oldest first-time 20-game winner in Major League history. Mussina永遠不能想像他需要等這麼久來迎接他的20勝，他成為大聯盟史上最老第一次拿得20勝的投手。 : Xavier Nady gave Mussina support in the fourth with his 25th home run of the : season, a well-placed shot to right field that hit the top of the fence as : J.D. Drew ran out of room. That accounted for New York's scoring against : Daisuke Matsuzaka, who scattered four hits while walking two and striking out : five in a tuneup start for the American League Division Series. Xavier Nady 在第四局用他的單季第25支全壘打幫助Mussina，這也幫助了洋基打倒了 Daisuke Matsuzaka(被打四支安打兩個保送三振五人) 好累喔～待續 : Mussina, who finished the year 20-9, walked two and struck out three before : relying on the bullpen for nine outs. He faced a moment of truth in the : fourth inning, allowing singles to Dustin Pedroia and David Ortiz to open the : frame. Mussina got Kevin Youkilis to fly out to center field and then induced : Drew to hit into an inning-ending double play, escaping unscathed. : "It's been remarkable what he's been able to do," Girardi said. "We're not : sure what he's going to do next year, but so far he's had one heck of a : career. It's got to be gratifying, when he got close so many times, to be : able to do it finally and kind of get that little thing off your back where : he says he was never a 20-game winner. They can't say that anymore." : Mussina won 19 games in back-to-back seasons (1995 and '96) for the Orioles, : the closest he had been to the mark until Sunday. He was given free rein to : control his start on Sunday, but he told Girardi that he was done after six : innings and 73 pitches, his right elbow not at 100 percent after being struck : with a line drive during his last start, on Tuesday at Toronto. : Out of the game, Mussina paced the clubhouse during the seventh and eighth : innings before walking to the dugout to watch Mariano Rivera pitch the final : inning, placing his trust in the bullpen. Boston scored twice in the eighth : inning off Joba Chamberlain, Brian Bruney and Damaso Marte, but Rivera : recorded the final four outs for his 39th save. : "I didn't have one complete game this year, so I couldn't have done this : without every other guy in uniform since April," Mussina said. : Mussina kept several souvenirs from the game, securing the final pitch he : threw in the sixth inning, as well as his last strikeout -- Jed Lowrie, : looking, in the fifth inning. Rivera hugged Mussina and presented him with : the ball from the final out. Mussina also obtained both of his jerseys from : the start -- he'd changed after the second inning just so he'd have an extra. : Growing so close to the 300-victory mark, Mussina said that if he returns : next season, he'd essentially be penciling himself in for 2010 and 2011 as : well, barring a terrible year such as the one Atlanta's Tom Glavine endured. : His preference would be to pitch for the Yankees, and though there are other : options, he refuses to become nomadic in pursuit of 300 wins. : "I've been lucky enough to play for two teams for 18 seasons," he said. "I'm : not going to bounce around and try to scratch something out that still may : never happen. ... It's not about salary. It's about the right situation to : win as a group and the right situation to try to win 30 more games." : Girardi is among those who believes that Mussina is the type of pitcher who : could do it, citing the New York Giants' Michael Strahan as an example of a : player who left the sport on top. And, as Mussina said, it would be much : easier to walk away 30 wins shy of 300 than if he gets any closer. : "I think it'd be pretty cool," Mussina said. "I don't know what everyone else : thinks, but I think it'd be pretty cool." -- ※ 發信站: 批踢踢實業坊(ptt.cc) ◆ From: 140.112.217.6
