Long after pitchers his age have hung up their spikes, Greg Maddux is still going full-speed ahead. So what's the key to staying young? 很多和 Maddux 同年的投手, 早就高挂球鞋多年, 然而 Maddux却仍在球场上冲刺着, 究竟什麽是他常保青春的秘方呢? "You don't have to win to have fun playing this game, but it definitely helps," Maddux said Friday. "It's 100 times easier to have fun when you're winning." "并不一定要赢球才能享受投球的快乐, 但是赢球的确是有帮助的" Maddux说 "当你赢球的时候, 你会100倍更容易享受棒球" Then, the Cubs righty, who turned 40 this month, certainly must be living it up after going 5-0 in his first five starts for the first time in a storied 21-year career. His efforts, including a 1.35 ERA over 33 1/3 innings, earned him National League Player of the Month honors for April. 那麽, 这位这个月满40岁的小熊队右投手, 现在一定很享受棒球吧 在生平第一次, 在开季五场先发中获得5-0成绩之後... 他的战绩包括 ERA: 1.35 IP: 33.1 并获得国联四月份最佳投手奖 "It's always nice to have a good month, it really is," Maddux said Tuesday. "I'm very honored to still be pitching, let alone get something like that. It's a good start, and I'll try to win [Wednesday]. That's it." "有一个很棒的月份总是很好, 的确是这样" Maddux 说 "我觉得很荣幸我还可以投球, 更不用说我可以得到这个奖" "这是一个好的开始, 而我会努力赢球 (星期三) 就这样" "You give yourself a quick pat on the back and get ready for the next game." "你拍拍自己的肩膀, 告诉自己-我做的很好, 然後准备好面对下一场比赛" Until April 23, the four-time Cy Young winner was the only Cubs starter to last seven innings in a game. Maddux's smoking start has come at an especially good time for a struggling Chicago team that is without the services of its former No. 1 and 2 starters, as Mark Prior and Kerry Wood are both on the 15-day disabled list. 在四月23日之前, 这位四次赛扬奖得主, 是小熊队唯一可以撑到七局的投手 Maddux杰出的表现对挣扎中的小熊队来说来得正是时候 小熊队的一号二号投手 Mark Prior 和 Kerry Wood 还呆在15 DL "The guy is a special player," said Cardinals starter Jason Marquis, Maddux's teammate in Atlanta. "He knows what he's doing out there. He's been baffling hitters for a long time, so it's not surprising to see what he's doing." "他是一个很特别的球员" 红鸟队的先发投手, Maddux 在亚特兰大的前队友 Jason Marquis说. "他知道他在做什麽, 他一直都在困惑打者" "我一点也不惊讶他现在的成绩和表现" Aside from his best career start to a season, Maddux also moved up the wins chart on April 29 to 15th all-time with his 323rd victory. He hasn't allowed more than two runs in any appearance this year, and he will get a chance to tie Hall of Famers Don Sutton and Nolan Ryan for 13th place on Wednesday. 除了他有一个生涯最佳的开季之外, 四月29日 Maddux 的323号胜投 使他成为全生涯最多胜投排行榜里的第十五名 今年他还没有在一场比赛之中掉超过2分 星期三他将有机会赶上 名人堂成员 Don Sutton 和 Nolan Ryan 的胜投数 而晋升到第十三名 The future Hall of Famer baffles even the young stars, such as Brewers NL Rookie of the Month Prince Fielder, who got caught looking at a bases-loaded third strike during a 6-2 loss to the Cubs on Friday. 这位未来的名人堂成员甚至困惑了年轻的明星球员们, 像是酿酒人队的国联本月最佳新人 - Prince Fielder Fielder 在星期五以6-2输给小熊的比赛中 在满垒的情形下, 拿着香被三振 "His ball looks like it's right there, and then it's not there anymore," Fielder said. "他的球看起来像是会到那里 可是实际上却不会" Fielder 说 Maddux is cautious about what the rest of the season might bring, and he played off his recent success to catching a few breaks. That didn't stop Cubs manager Dusty Baker from speculating that big things might be in store. Maddux 对於这个球季接下来会发生什麽事 很谨慎 他 "played off" 他的成功已获取一些的休息 (这句我不会翻) 然而这并没有减少 Dusty Baker的猜测 - 是不是有更大的事情会发生? "There's good years and bad years -- there's great years and good years," Baker said. "This might be one of the great years. ... I don't know anybody who stayed on top and excellent every year in their career, but he's done a pretty good job of it." "你总是会有表现的比较好的一年和表现比较差的一年" Baker说 "今年或许会是很好的一年, 我想没有人可以每年都表现得非常杰出" "但是他现在真的表现得很好" It was the 10th such award Maddux has received, and his first since July 2001. Others receiving votes for the award were the Mets' Pedro Martinez (5-0, 2.94 ERA, 33 strikeouts), Cincinnati's Bronson Arroyo (4-0, 2.34 ERA, 30 strikeouts), Houston's Wandy Rodriguez (4-0, 2.53 ERA, 21 strikeouts) and Arizona's Brandon Webb (4-0, 2.22 ERA, 25 strikeouts). 这是Maddux自从2001年七月第一次获得这样的奖项後, 第十次得到这个奖 其他在这个项目得到票数的有: 大都会队的 Pedro Martinez (5-0, 2.94 ERA, 33 strikeouts) 辛辛那提的 Bronson Arroyo (4-0, 2.34 ERA, 30 strikeouts) 休士顿的 Wandy Rodriguez (4-0, 2.53 ERA, 21 strikeouts) 以及亚利桑那的 Brandon Webb (4-0, 2.22 ERA, 25 strikeouts) ※ 编辑: shawshien 来自: 69.219.146.86 (05/03 12:21)
