(AP photos) Just when you thought the Yankees and the Red Sox had exhausted all possible manifestation of their intense rivalry ... here come the ballots for the American League Cy Young Award. Both AL East kingpins have suited up their fair share of pitchers on the receiving end of their art's highest award, with Pedro Martinez (1999 and 2000) and Roger Clemens (2001) keeping the honor in the I-95 corridor. But Yankees and Red Sox pitchers have never contested the same Cy Young Award, never finishing in the top two in the vote since the award's inception in 1956. 小王和北极有机会在美联赛扬中获得前两名 当你认为洋基和红袜的世仇之争已经演到老掉牙、了无新意的时候，总是会有 新的剧码上档。这一次是美联的赛扬奖。美东的两大龙头早已出产许多巨投 获得这项投手的最高殊荣，如佩卓(1999、2000)和火箭人(2001)都将奖项 留在95州际公路上 但两队的投手可说从未同场竞技过这个奖项，自1956年设立以来， 从未出现前两名正好由这两队的投手包办的情况 Well, there is always a first time. Boston's Josh Beckett and New York's Chien-Ming Wang are the respective leaders of their postseason-bound staffs, and both will receive ample support among the voting members of the Baseball Writers Association of America. They are hardly running a match race, but their season-long excellence on the road to 20 wins will be hard to ignore. Their most serious competition will come from another undisputed staff ace, C.C. Sabathia, the big chief of the Cleveland Indians. Right-handers John Lackey and Kelvim Escobar, virtually peers in the Angels rotation, figure to cancel each other out in the voting booth. 但凡事总有第一次，在这两个几乎笃定晋级季後赛的队伍里， 红袜的北极和洋基的小王目前都是这个奖项的领先者。 而可预期的是他们都会在投票中获得相当的支持。他们并非双强独走， 但是对两位本季二十胜的挑战者来说，他们整季下来的完美表现将无法轻易被忽视 他们最强烈的竞争者将来自另一个无异议的王牌投手 -- 沙包，印地安人队的大酋长。 同为天使队的右投手雷奇和艾斯柯巴，应该会由於票源被分散而机会稍低。 As for relievers, they are simply not invited to this party. The last closer to earn the award, even as saves totals keep skyrocketing, was Dennis Eckersley, back in 1992. The highest-ranking closer in the vote last year -- even after a season without a 20-game winner -- was Francisco Rodriguez, whose 47 saves were worth five ballot points out of a possible 140. Maybe it is time that closers had their own comparable award. The potential inspiration for that is still among us -- San Diego's Trevor Hoffman, who with 519 saves has already surpassed the 511 wins by the pitcher whose name is on the Cy Young Award. 至於後援投手，几乎没机会参与竞争。即便救援成功的数量不断增高， 最後一个赛扬的後援投手要回溯到1992年的艾克斯利。 就算在一个没人拿得到20胜的球季，去年得分最高的後援投手，K-Rod， 47场救援成功仅为他获得140分当中的5个积分 或许是时候设立後援投手专属的奖项了。一个最好的证明仍旧在现役投手的阵容里 -- 教士队的霍夫曼，生涯519次救援成功已超越的赛扬的511胜。 FAVORITES 呼声最高的投手 Wang, Yankees: If Cy Young balloting were like some cell phone plans, Wang would be a shoo-in thanks to rollover votes. He didn't receive a single first-place vote last year, even though he matched winner Johan Santana's 19-6 record. So now he is producing a carbon copy, with no one even close to his two-year record of 37-12 (Santana is 34-17, Justin Verlander 33-14, Roy Halladay 30-12). But what makes Wang truly stand out is his responsibility for the Yankees' contention, through his remarkable consistency. He has not made it to at least the sixth inning only twice in 27 starts. 洋基的小王。如果赛扬奖的票选可以像某些手机计费方案算上去年没用完的余额， 那麽小王将可轻松获胜。虽然他的战绩和去年的赛扬奖得主山大王一样是19胜6败， 第一名的选票他连一张也没拿到。现在他几乎拷贝了去年的战绩，使得他两年累计 37胜12败远远超过其他对手(山大王34-17、V少年33-14、好乐迪30-12)。 但真正让小王出线的，是他以他的稳定性肩负起维持洋基竞争力的重任。 他过去27场出赛中，只有两场未能投满六局 Beckett, Red Sox: Despite a fresh face (Daisuke Matsuzaka) and a cured arm (Curt Schilling), the cognoscenti tabbed Beckett as the key man on Boston's staff -- and he has delivered splendidly, also delivering on his potential. For the fourth consecutive season, Beckett has raised his victory total and has become a smart pitcher, not just a hothead thrower. Leading evidence of that is having more than halved both his walks (74 to 36) and homer yields (36 to 14). But he doesn't stand out on his staff as Wang does on his; not even close. 红袜的北极。虽然红袜有个新面孔(牛肉)和一个从臂伤复原的强投(席林)， 专家认为北极仍是队中最关键的角色。而他也表现出他的天份与潜力。 在他连续的四个球季中，他提升了他的胜场数，也自一个蛮力型投手进化成一个 有脑筋的投手。最明显的证据包括了他把保送数(74->36)和被全垒打数(36->14) 都降到一半一下。但他对於球队的重要性和小王比较起来，就远为逊色了。 Sabathia, Indians: Finishing strong to give Cleveland its first 20-game winner since Gaylord Perry (1974) could sway the voting in the big left-hander's behalf. He is certainly worthy, with an amazing strikeouts-to-walks ratio (185-to-33) for a tall lefty -- historically the mold for wildness. Has already posted career highs in innings and strikeouts while matching his single-season high of 17 wins. Eight of his wins have followed Tribe losses. 笑脸人的沙包：如果他能够持续好的表现，成为笑脸人队自1974年的派瑞以来第一个 单季20胜的投手，那麽他就有机会扭转选票的流向而雀屏中选。 当然他的成绩绝对是有得奖的价值，身为一个高大的左投(通常是控球狂野的象徵)， 他拥有惊人的三振四坏比率(185-33)。他也早以创下生涯投球数和三振数的新高， 以及获得平生涯纪录的17个胜场数、其中的8场为球队止败。 DARK HORSES 黑马 Lackey, Angels: A rocky four-start stretch beginning in mid-August probably ejected the right-hander from possibly even the favorite's seat. He surrendered 26 hits and 13 runs in 17 2/3 innings around his clutch Aug. 27 shutout in Seattle. But remember that word "clutch," as well as "workhorse"; he has gone seven-plus innings in 13 of his last 23 starts. And his 8-1 record against the other AL West teams is a big reason for the Angels pulling away from the division. 天使的雷奇：八月中过後，他经历了四场动荡不安的比赛，让他在赛扬奖的角逐上， 从领先群雄到几乎失去机会。他在17 2/3局的比赛中被打26安打、掉了13分， 虽然中间夹了一场关键的完封胜(8/27)。总之，对雷奇的印象请记得"关键"以及 "投球机器"。他在最近23场比赛中有13场投到七局以上。且他对其他 美联西区的球队投出了8胜1败的战绩，也是天使能够在分区称王的关键原因。 Escobar, Angels: Many consider the one-time reliever and swing starter the Angels' best money pitcher, who has really flourished once given a permanent place in the rotation. And he could very well end up leading the league in ERA -- on the 30th anniversary of the last time an Angels hurler did so, Frank Tanana in 1977. But he and Lackey are essentially the same pitcher, with virtually identical numbers. 天使的艾斯柯巴：很多人认为这个一度的中继投手和不定期的先发投手是天使队 投资报酬率最佳的投手。他今天在取得固定轮值的机会後可说完全的开花结果。 他也很有可能取得美联的防御率王，上一次这个奖项落在天使队得追溯到30年前 的塔那那。但他和雷奇在本质上或在数据上几乎是一样的选手。 -- 人，总是残缺而完美的... 　　 　　残缺的是任谁终其一生都无法得到一切， 　　　 　　　　　完美的是任谁少了一点就不再是他本人了... 残缺的我寻寻觅觅找寻着残缺的你... 且让我们共同拼出一片无间的 完 美 --
