With his club back in the playoff hunt, the manager isn't in a hurry to leave his post for 2008, either. 但老托没这样想 只有热情 "I'm enjoying it, let's put it that way," Torre said. 他说"这样说吧 我很享受" Torre, who turned 67 in July, said that he has had two great surprises with his current place of employment -- first, the fact that he was offered the job at all, taking over for Buck Showalter after the 1995 season. The other was lasting so long in a position that never offered much promise of security, accepting a contract in an era not far removed from George Steinbrenner's famous managerial shuffles. 这个工作最大的两个惊奇是1995年他接下这个工作 还做了那麽久 For those reasons alone, Torre said he chooses not to think about his contract status, which leaves him as one of the most high-profile people not under contract with the Yankees for 2008. He does not want to split his concentration, but besides, Torre has some company in Jorge Posada and Mariano Rivera, both of whom also claim not to be contemplating futures beyond this season. 老托暂时不去想合约到期的事 另外波杀大和Mo也是今年合约到期 "I really haven't. I'm not even thinking that," Torre said. "I don't know what the determination [for an extension] is going to be, but I'm enjoying what I'm doing now. I just basically say we'll see what happens. I haven't talked about it or initiated anything. Whatever it is, I'm sure it'll wait until the end of the year." 老托场面话说他真的没想那麽多 只享受现在的工作 Torre's job security was a major topic of discussion earlier in the season when the Yankees got off to a languishing start. Steinbrenner helped put an end to speculation when, in a published report, he offered Torre a vote of confidence -- while also warning general manager Brian Cashman that he was "on a big hook." 开季战绩不佳 老托工作不保的问题一直被提出来讨论 Those months-old problems were washed over by the Yankees' hot second half, which has included a Major League-best 33-17 record since the All-Star break and regaining their season-best high-water mark of 16 games over .500 with Saturday's victory over Tampa Bay. 下半季战绩33胜17败 Those issues have not been forgotten, but Torre said that nothing through the course of this campaign has extinguished his vigor for the job. 但老托的位置还是被讨论 "Even though this has been the toughest year, it still comes down to how the players respond and the whole clubhouse and on-field stuff," Torre said. "That's really the best part of what I do." 老托场面话 A vote for Kennedy: Ian Kennedy will have a second turn in the Yankees' rotation, Torre confirmed, tentatively lined to pitch Friday at Kansas City. 老托确认甘乃迪下次先发是星期五对KC Kennedy, a 22-year-old right-hander, picked up a win in his debut Saturday, limiting the Devil Rays to one earned run over seven innings. He overcame early jitters and eventually found a better release point on his pitches, but said he would never forget the awed feeling of pitching on the mound in the Bronx. 22岁的甘乃迪星期六拿到大联盟首胜 "There's no feeling like that first inning," Kennedy said. "I'll never feel that ever again. You've got adrenaline and an 'I'm pitching in Yankee Stadium' type of feeling. After that first inning, you're back to normal and say, 'OK, I've got to work on these other guys.'" 他说 第一局超兴奋 一直想....'我在洋基球场投球耶~~~' 第一局过後就回复正常想说要解决这些家伙 Torre said that the piece of Kennedy's afternoon that impressed him most was the rookie's high level of command around the zone -- of Kennedy's 96 pitches, 66 were strikes, with a variety of his repertoire. Even more encouraging, Triple-A pitching coach Dave Eiland reported that Kennedy's curveball (considered his best breaking pitch) wasn't as impressive Saturday as it could have been. 老托对他的控球印象深刻 3A投手教练则说他的曲球可以更杀 "The kid was calm yesterday," Torre said. "More so than I thought he would be." 老托说这小子昨天比我想的还冷静 Countdown to liftoff: Roger Clemens is still listed as the probable pitcher for Monday's start vs. Seattle, though the Yankees expect to learn more as the hours pass. 火箭人仍是明天对水手的投手 Clemens has been dealing with blisters on his right foot and a bout with arm weariness that have put his 16th start into question. He dealt with the blisters in his last start, a six-inning effort against the Red Sox in which he allowed one run and two hits. 老克仍有些小伤 "The push-off foot is probably more of a hassle for him at this point," Torre said. Clemens threw a short downhill session on Saturday, but in the event he is unable to pitch, the Yankees have right-hander Mike Mussina waiting in the wings. The Yankees have a crowded rotation with their off-day Thursday, so in the event Mussina does not pitch, the club will meet to decide its next course of action with the struggling 38-year-old, who last pitched Monday at Detroit. 老克(**不是老托啦 就高速冲过头了嘛!**)在星期六练投 穆帅也待命 "We certainly want to make sure he doesn't just sit there," Torre said. 老托说 我们也想确定穆帅不会只坐在那儿 Eye in the sky: Joba Chamberlain was reinstated from his two-game suspension on Sunday, and though Torre said he was not in a hurry to use the rookie reliever, the 21-year-old was happy to escape the vantage point of Cashman's press-level suite and return to the bullpen. 小张禁赛两场休息後 老托说不急着用他 "It had a little different perspective," Chamberlain said. "It's over, done with, move on." 小张 处罚完了 就继续吧 Bombers bits: Right-hander Darrell Rasner, out since May 19 with a broken right index finger, will pitch Tuesday for Class A Staten Island vs. Brooklyn, then join Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre for the weekend. He is hoping for a September callup. ... The Yankees are 17-5 when Hideki Matsui DHes. He did so again Sunday. ... Derek Jeter was still smarting from Michigan's 34-32 loss to Appalachian State on Saturday. The Yankees didn't make it any easier by ribbing him immediately after the game. "I've been telling you, that's why they play the games," Jeter said. Rasner下星期要先到1A然後到3A投复健赛(**看来是中继处理**) 希望能赶上九月扩编 松井打DH 洋基17胜5负 Coming up: The Yankees celebrate Labor Day on Monday by welcoming the Seattle Mariners to town, opening a three-game series with Wild Card implications. Right-hander Roger Clemens (6-5, 4.15 ERA) is the scheduled starter for New York, while right-hander Felix Hernandez (10-7, 4.08 ERA) counters for Seattle. First pitch from Yankee Stadium is scheduled for 1:05 p.m. ET on the YES Network. 接下来 劳动节要和外卡竞争对手 水手队正面交锋 洋基火箭人老克 vs 水手大帝 Bryan Hoch is a reporter for MLB.com.
