Let's wake up, everybody! Games in April count every bit as much as games in
August and September. And yes, we have big races going on that we can follow
throughout the season. Take a look:
各位打起精神来!四月份的比赛和八月或九月的比赛一样精采。是的,这个球季还有精采
的比赛即将进行,我们来瞧一瞧:
Washington vs. Washington
New ballpark be damned, the Washington Nationals are still a horrible
ballclub. Their record, like their hips, don't lie. The Washington Nationals
are 9-17, the same record as their opponents in this matchup, the Ron
Washington-led Texas Rangers. Each team can brag about shaky pitching and
poor clutch hitting, but only the Rangers can own their club record for most
losses in April. The previous high of 15 happened three times. The 2008
Rangers also matched the 1982 squad for the worst start after 23 games since
the team moved to Texas in 1972. Here's a race to watch all season long or
until Ron Washington loses his job, whichever comes first.
不只新球场糟透了,华盛顿国民队也仍然是一支表现不佳的球队。战绩是骗不了人的。9
胜17败战绩和由Ron Washington带领的德州游骑兵队一样遭糕。每支球队都可以怪罪不稳
定的投球表现,或是不佳的关键时刻打击能力,但是只有游骑兵队创下队史四月份最多败
的纪录。之前的最多败纪录是15场,曾发生过3次。2008年的游骑兵队也追平球队自1972
年移至德州後的开季前23场最差成绩。我们可以观察整个球季两支球队谁的战绩会比较烂
,不过也许Ron Washington会先丢掉他的工作。
Joe vs. Joe
While neither Joe is faring as poorly as Tom Hanks in "Joe Versus the
Volcano," you know that I'm not the only one tracking the Joe Torre Dodgers
versus the Joe Girardi Yankees. As of this date, it's the Yankees at 14-13
over LA, 12-13.
两位Joe都不像汤姆汉克在电影"Joe Versus the Volcano(跳火山的人)"中一样可怜,但
是你知道我向大多数人一样持续追踪观察道奇队的Joe Torre与洋基队的Joe Girardi之间
的竞争。目前为止,洋基队以14胜13败小赢道奇队的12胜13败。
Manny vs. Junior
When you mention Manny Ramirez you must acknowledge that most of the time it
results in Manny versus reality, but in the case I have him in a home run
milestone duel. Manny and his 496 homers versus Junior Griffey and his 597
homers. Who will reach his respective milestone first?
当你想到Manny Ramirez时,大部分时候应该都是想到钱,但是在这里我要提到的是他的
全垒打里程碑。Manny已经打出496支全垒打,Griffey Jr.则有597支,谁会先达到各自的
全垒打里程碑呢?
Manny versus Manny
Last season Manny had career lows with 20 homers and 88 RBI. I say the 2008
version of Manny (the one in a contract year) has those numbers by the
All-Star break.
上个球季Manny只打出了20支全垒打与88分打点。我认为2008年球季 (合约年) 的Manny在
明星赛前就能打出相同的成绩。
Phil Hughes vs. Ian Kennedy vs. Clay Buchholz
Yes, there must be at least one Yankees/Red Sox rivalry going on, and this
seems like as good a one as any. Here are three pitchers who are not quite
ready to pitch in the majors throwing for teams that feel that their offenses
are good enough to compensate. So far, Phil Hughes is 0-3 with a 7.85 ERA;
Ian Kennedy is 0-2 with a 8.53 ERA; and, the clear leader, Clay Buchholz, is
1-2 with a 4.08 ERA.
是的,至少得有一项洋基与红袜间的竞争持续进行。有三位投手似乎还没准备好在大联盟
投球。他们的投球表现还没有让球团感到满意。目前Phil Hughes的成绩为0胜3败,防御
率7.85;Ian Kennedy则是0胜2败,防御率8.53。明显表现较佳的Clay Buchholz则是1胜2
败,防御率4.08。
Frank Thomas vs. Jason Giambi
Frank is back in Oakland, which means this battle of the over-the-hills can
resume. The Big Hurt is hitting .197 with 3 homers and 14 RBIa while Jason
"I'm so sorry" Giambi has five homers and 11 RBIs with a .167 batting
average. Saying goodbye to this contest is David "Big Papi" Ortiz, who is now
up to .177 with four homers and 20 RBIs.
Frank重返大联盟加入奥克兰运动家队,这代表了走下坡的竞赛将继续上演。重伤害打出
.197打击率,3支全垒打与14分打点,Jason "I'm so sorry" Giambi的成绩则是.167打击
率,5支全垒打与11分打点。首先脱离这场竞争的是老爹David Ortiz,他的打击率上升至
.177,并拥有4支全垒打与20分打点。
Tampa Bay vs. Disney World
This is so one-sided, I can't imagine why the Rays just don't pick up and
move to David Archuleta Land (that's a shout out to "American Idol" fans on
your way to crowning the whiniest and most annoying dull singer since Bobby
Goldsboro). After sweeping the Jays, the Rays are now 6-0 in the House of the
Mouse. The attendance for the series finale was 9,540, the largest crowd of
the three games this year. That brought the total for the series against the
Blue Jays to 26,798 — 119 fewer fans than last year's set here against the
Rangers. On top of that, Toronto's Alex Rios was ejected during in of the
game's against Tampa Bay when he slung his bat and slammed his batting helmet
to the ground after striking out. His words deeply offended Snow White.
我个人无法理解光芒队为什麽不搬到David Archuleta Land(American Idol的影迷想要让
爱抱怨又惹人厌的David Archuleta在Bobby Goldboro之後成为获胜的歌星)。在横扫蓝鸟
队之後,光芒队在迪士尼运动中心的战绩来到了6胜0败。系列赛的最後一场比赛观众人数
为9540人,面对蓝鸟队的三场比赛进场人数是今年度最多的26798 人,只比去年在这里面
对游骑兵队的系列赛少了19人而已。多伦多蓝鸟队的Alex Rios在这个系列赛中被驱逐出
场,由於他在被三振後将球棒与打击头盔重重的摔在地上,并且说话激怒了裁判。
John Gibbons vs. the Toronto Blue Jays' record
Scott Rolen can't come back fast enough to help Gibbons, who is in the last
year of his contract.
Scott Rolen无法及时回到球队给予Gibbsons一些帮助,今年是Gibbons合约的最後一年。
Stephen vs. J.D. (a.k.a. Nancy) Drew
The Drew brothers, the Hardy Boys of baseball, are always a fun rivalry.
Stephen, at short for the Diamondbacks, has three homers, eight RBIs and is
hitting .272. Nancy, playing right field for the Red Sox, has three homers,
13 RBI and is hitting .273. In case you are curious, J.D.'s full name is
David Jonathan Drew — no joke, or as he says, "joke no."
热血的棒球男孩,Drew兄弟之间的竞争总是令人感兴趣。担任响尾蛇队游击手的Stephen
打出3支全垒打,8分打点与.272打击率,担任红袜队右外 野手的Nancy则有3支全垒打,
13分打点与.273打击率。J.D.的全名是David Jonathan Drew,这不是开玩笑的,或者像
他说的:"别开别人玩笑。"
Eric Gagne vs. Manny Corpas
This was a great race between two closers to see who can accumulate the most
blown saves. They were tied at four apiece before Corpas was demoted.
这又是另一个有趣的竞争,看看两位终结者谁能累计最多的救援失败。在Corpas降为中继
投手前两个人都各有4次救援失败。
B.J. Upton vs. Justin Upton
B.J. is hitting .289 with two homers, 18 RBIs and four stolen bases. Justin
Upton is way in the lead here with five homers, 14 RBIs and a .323 batting
average (zero stolen bases). B.J.'s given name is Melvin Emmanuel Upton; I
don't want to know how he got his nickname.
B.J. Upton目前打出.289打击率,两支全垒打,18分打点与4次盗垒成功,Justin则表现
较佳,有5支全垒打,14分打点与.323打击率(0次盗垒成功)。B.J.的本名叫做Melvin
Emmanuel Upton; 我不想知道他的绰号是怎麽来的。
Detroit Tigers vs. 1,000 runs
For those of you had picked the Tigers to generate a 1,000-run offense, you
must be pretty worried. Well, as long as there are pitching staffs like that
of the Texas Rangers, there is always hope. Detroit is up to 130 runs in 26
games, while the Diamondbacks lead all teams in scoring with 153.
那些认为老虎队本季能攻得1000分的人现在应该很担心。但是如果对手的投手都表现的和
德州游骑兵堆队一样差的话,那麽还是有希望的。老虎队在26场比赛得到130分。响尾蛇
队则得到了领先全联盟的153分。
Brandon Webb vs. Barry Zito
Can Webb actually win more games than Zito loses? Webb has six wins and Zito
has six losses. This should be great.
Brandon的胜场数有办法超过Zito的败场数嘛?Webb目前6胜,Zito则是6败,这将会很有看
头。
Cubs vs. White Sox
The first place White Sox are 14-10. The first place Cubs are 16-9. May 23,
2004 is the last time the Cubs and White Sox were in first place at the same
time this late into the season. The last time these teams met in the Series?
In 1906, when the White Sox topped the Cubs, 4 game to 2.
排名分区第一的白袜队目前战绩是14胜10败,另一支排名第一的小熊队则是16胜9败。上
一次白袜与小熊队同时排名分区第一已经是2004年5月23日的事了。那上一次两队在世界
大赛碰面是什麽时候呢?1906年时,白袜以4胜2败击败小熊队。
NHL Playoffs vs. Apathy
Who cares? Really, who cares?
谁会在意呢?说真的,谁会在意呢?
