He survived a seemingly endless rehab program, and a stream of boos when he finally made it to the Minors. So on the day of his big return, he sure wasn't going to let a bumbling bus driver stand in his way. 小明不畏各种艰难回来了 Mientkiewicz returned to the Yankees on Saturday, one of a quartet of September callups that also included starter Ian Kennedy, reliever Jose Veras and infielder Alberto Gonzalez. Kennedy had been in New York since Thursday, preparing for his Saturday start, but the rest of those Yankees almost didn't make it when their bus driver got lost on the way from Pawtucket, R.I., to the airport in Providence. So Mientkiewicz took charge, doling out directions and ensuring that another delay wasn't going to happen. 小明回来了　这次一起来的小朋友还有Veras和Gonzalez　小插曲是司机迷路了 要靠小明认路 "I've been waiting for this flight for 89 days," Mientkiewicz joked. "Just get me to the airport." 小明开玩笑说　我等这班飞机已经等了89天　只要带我去机场　接下来我都知道 He made it there all right, and landed back in the Bronx for the first time since fracturing his right wrist in a collision with Red Sox third baseman Mike Lowell on June 1. Mientkiewicz had been on a rehab assignment with Triple-A Scranton Wilkes-Barre since last week, after spending the balance of his summer working to return to baseball shape. 小明在6/1跟红袜的Lowell相撞受伤　上礼拜在3A打复健赛 To make room for Mientkiewicz on the 40-man roster, the Yankees designated Minor League outfielder Kevin Thompson for assignment. 为了小明在40人名单中的空间　Kevin Thompson被任务指派...(**超级没爱的小孩**) Mientkiewicz should spend the bulk of September on the bench, joining a glut of Yankees first basemen that already includes Jason Giambi, Wilson Betemit and Andy Phillips. But the newest member of that mix was quick to note that playing time matters least. 小明回来呆板凳　一垒手已经有上面那三个 "I'm happy I'm here," Mientkiewicz said. "[I'm] happy that I can actually attempt to play. I really thought it would be a lot sooner than it was. I didn't expect to break the slowest-healing bone in the human body." 小明场面话 He was in such a good mood that he didn't even mind the trip to Pawtucket, where Red Sox fans -- still riled over Mientkiewicz's handling of the 2004 World Series ball -- came out to boo him en masse. 他心情超好　也不会在意红袜迷因为他收藏2004世界大赛冠军球而嘘他 "It sounded like they had practice," he joked. "The first at-bat wasn't so bad, but then the second at-bat, I was like, 'Man, did this place grow? It's a lot louder.'" 小明开玩笑说　他们有练习喔　越来越大声 Roster jumble: The Yankees also on Saturday recalled Veras and Gonzalez, who should help fill out their bullpen and bench, respectively. 星期六洋基把Veras和Gonzalez叫上来 Veras, 26, is back after a brief stint with the team at the end of last season. He was 2-0 with a 4.50 ERA and four saves over three levels of the Minors this season. Veras基本资料 Gonzalez, 24, was one of the three Minor Leaguers the Yankees received from the Diamondbacks in exchange for Randy Johnson last winter. He was batting .247 in 106 games with Scranton Wilkes-Barre, after hitting .330 in the first month of the season at Double-A Trenton. Gonzalez基本资料 The Yankees also tapped the full-time services of Scranton pitching coach Dave Eiland, who will remain with the team for the remainder of the season. They're expected to call up another pitcher or two before September is through. 球团让3A的投手教练Dave Eiland接下来都随队　九月还要叫另外1-2位投手上来 Houston, we have a problem: Roger Clemens is suffering from a medley of ailments, including a series of foot blisters and minor inflammation in his right elbow. 老克有点小伤(**最近电影台干嘛狂播阿波罗13啊~~~**) Torre said that Mike Mussina would take the Rocket's spot in the rotation should Clemens be unable to make his next start on Monday -- though he characterized that option as more conjecture than probability. While both injuries gave Clemens some trouble in his last outing, Torre said he didn't foresee either of them preventing him from pitching during his regularly scheduled turn. 老托说　如果老克下次先发没办法上　那就穆帅上 "When asked whether or not he would be ready to start on Monday, Clemens said simply, "I hope so." 被问到能不能上　老克回答　希望可以 No Minor matter: While the September callups can certainly help the big club, they also hurt the Minor League affiliates that suddenly lose some of their best players. 叫小朋友上来可以帮助大人却害了自己的球队 That looms large for an organization such as the Yankees, which has been noticeably competitive at all levels this season. Scranton Wilkes-Barre clinched its International League division title this week, while Trenton holds the best record in the Eastern League. The Class A Tampa Yankees were a half-game out of first place entering Saturday's play, the short-season Class A Brooklyn Cyclones were also in first, and the rookie-level Gulf Coast League Yankees had already secured their division title. 今年农场每一级都很有竞争力　本周3A的登上分区冠军 2A的战绩领先　1A差第一0.5场　短期1A也是第一　菜鸟联盟的已经拿到分区冠军 Only the Class A Charleston RiverDogs were in serious danger of missing out on first place, standing three games back with three to play. 只有另外一个1A(河狗队)和第一有三场胜差　但只剩三场比赛 (**天啊~我们家农场收成真快**) Shouldering the load: Alex Rodriguez jammed his shoulder sliding headfirst into second base during Saturday's game, and was removed later in the game for precautionary reasons. Neither Torre nor Rodriguez expected the third baseman to miss any time. 前一场A-Rod头部滑垒压到肩膀　提前下场休息　但希望接下来的比赛他都能出场 "I've got to stop doing that," A-Rod said. "I've got to start going feetfirst. It's a little smarter." A-Rod说　不能再那样滑垒　脚要先进去**　比较聪明 Bombers bits: Mussina threw an extended bullpen session on Friday, a day before what would have been his scheduled start. ... Right-hander Darrell Rasner also made the trip to the Yankees clubhouse, on a break from a rehab stint with Staten Island. ... Joba Chamberlain said he was "roaming" around the Stadium during Friday's game, serving the first half of his two-game suspension. Chamberlain isn't allowed to be in any team areas during the games. 穆帅星期五投了牛棚　Rasner也来球场玩　 小张星期五被禁赛说要在球场闲晃　禁赛规定比赛期间不得进入球队区 Coming up: The Yankees and Devil Rays complete their three-game set with a Sunday matinee at the Stadium. Andy Pettitte will face Rays youngster Jason Hammel in the 1:05 ET start. 接下来　派帅要面对年轻投手Hammel(呼呼...好险是右投的啦) 半夜1:05 Anthony DiComo is an associate reporter for MLB.com.
