以下只翻部分... (原来相信"不能说的秘密的" 不只是我们XD) Cedeno: Cubs 'thinking about' World Series after beating Mets By Paul Sullivan Tribune staff reporter April 22, 2008, 12:49 AM CDT Cubs manager Lou Piniella tried to launch a pre-emptive strike Monday at Wrigley Field when asked about his team's hot start, warning Cubs fans not to act like … well, Cubs fans. "This is a long season," Piniella said. "Let's not get all crazy about this thing. Let's just stay cautionary and let's just keep playing good baseball, that's all." 小熊队总教练老皮警告小熊迷 不要太过兴奋 老皮说: "球季还很长 大家不要太疯狂了" "我们要小心翼翼的打好每场球 就这样" But Piniella's message apparently didn't get through to all of his players. After the Cubs ran their winning streak to four games with Monday night's 7-1 victory over the New York Mets, shortstop Ronny Cedeno was dreaming big. 然而有人没把教练的话听进去 星期一赢了Mets以後 游击手 Ronny Cedeno开始做起白日梦 "We're thinking about the World Series," Cedeno said. "I think we'll be OK if we keep playing like that." Cedeno说: "我们想要打世界大赛" "假如我们继续打得这麽好 应该就没有问题了吧!" Cedeno helped spur the craziness with a two-run single during a five-run eighth inning, giving the Cubs a 6-1 record on the homestand and helping Carlos Zambrano to his third victory in four decisions. Cedeno在星期一的比赛中 八局下打出2RBI single 帮助冉柏牛得到第三胜 With a 13-6 record, the Cubs are off to their best start since 1985, when they were also coming off a division championship. That season ended in disaster after the entire starting rotation got injured, a "Cubby occurrence" that has never been duplicated. 13W-6L 这是从1985年後 小熊最好的开季成绩 然而那一年的球季 结果是非常悲惨的 小熊队全部的先发投手都受伤 这是一个非常特殊的 "小熊事件" 以前跟以後都没有发生过 But this is not 1985, and the Cubs appear to be on a roll with no intention of slowing down. 然而今年并不是 1985 小熊队正在向前冲 没有要停下来的意思 Zambrano agreed with Cedeno, though he refused to use the actual words "World Series." "We have everything this year, believe me," Zambrano said. "We can go all the way to … where we want." 冉柏牛同意Cedeno的看法 可是他拒绝说出 "世界大赛" 这几个字 冉柏牛 :"我们今年阵容很整齐 相信我" "我们一定可以到达...我们想去的地方" Home runs by Aramis Ramirez and Felix Pie backed the solid pitching of Zambrano, who allowed one run on five hits through seven innings before being lifted for a pinch-hitter. Zambrano is off to his best start since 2004 after three straight years of suffering through rough Aprils. From 2005-07, Zambrano was a combined 4-4 in April with a 5.16 earned-run average and 5.1 walks per nine innings. With one more start left in April, he's 3-1 in the first month — including his March 31 start — with a 2.67 ERA and only 1.3 walks per nine innings. Ramirez gave Zambrano the lead in the fourth with a first-pitch, two-run home run into the left-field bleachers off John Maine. The Mets scored in the sixth after Endy Chavez doubled leading off and advanced when catcher Geovany Soto made an ill-advised throw to third on Maine's sacrifice. Jose Reyes grounded into a double play, scoring Chavez to make it a 2-1 game. The Cubs loaded the bases with no outs off reliever Aaron Heilman in the eighth after Kosuke Fukudome batted with two men on and fouled off five two-strike pitches before stroking an opposite-field single to left. Fukudome's patience is seemingly rubbing off on his teammates, though he begged to differ. "Perhaps it just seems that way," he said through an interpreter. Heilman calmly struck out Mark DeRosa and induced Soto to pop out before Cedeno singled up the middle with two strikes to make it 4-1. Pie, a defensive replacement in the top of the inning, then hit a three-run homer off Jorge Sosa to blow the game open. Zambrano's sinker was working effectively, and he was locating his pitches all night instead of trying to overpower hitters in every at-bat. "I played with one of the best pitchers in history, Greg Maddux," Zambrano said. "He told me one time he preferred to throw more sinkers, more movement than velocity. 冉柏牛的sinker有效封锁打者 而且他准确的把球控到他想要的地方 而不再只是用蛮力和打者硬拼 冉柏牛:"我和史上最好的投手- Greg Maddux 同队过" "他跟我说 他觉得多投sinker 并且多重视球的尾劲 而不是速度 会比较好" "Anytime I want to throw 95 or 96 (m.p.h.), I can throw it. But it's not how hard you throw in the big leagues. It's how you locate your pitches and learn to pitch the game." 冉柏牛:"假如我想投 95 96 mph的球 我随时都可以投的出来" "可是重点不是你可以投多快" "而是你控球的能力 还有学会如何投好一场比赛 这才是最重要的" ※ 编辑: shawshien 来自: 69.142.146.166 (04/25 11:15)
