Joe Torre brushes back Jays' A-Rod video game By ANTHONY McCARRON DAILY NEWS SPORTS WRITER Thursday, September 13th 2007, 4:00 AM 重点：老托觉得蓝鸟队净开些没品味的玩笑 1. A-Rod和蓝鸟队本季有个激烈冲突的历史，由於A-Rod声名狼籍地用狮子吼"HA!"的一 声干扰蓝鸟队的接捕内野小飞球的守备，而被蓝鸟报复性地招呼了两次。昨晚，原本 像是平静无事的夜晚却又加入了新的章节。在第六局中场播放赛事促销的影片中，在 记分板的萤幕上拨放两位蓝鸟队的球迷正在打一场棒球比赛，球赛中他们对着A-Rod 投球。球是对着A-Rod身上丢，一次没丢中，另外一次则打在A-Rod身上，这让Torre 不太高兴。(这好像在暗示上次连两场试着对A-Rod投触身球，只丢中一次) 2. 昨晚以4比1击败蓝鸟队赛後，Torre说: "实在是荒谬的事，他们播放的影片总该个局 限，那完全就是暴力。有些城市，我们队上的一个球员被触身球击中，他们却开始大 笑而且欢呼。我实在无法理解这麽荒谬的事。" (只是上次张伯伦差点丢到Youkilis 时，洋基球场也是爆出一阵掌声，其实乡民到处都有，只是在萤幕上播出真是有点太 过火了。) Torre继续说: "对我而言，球赛是看比赛的过程而不是去伤害一些人。就 我的想法而言，假如你在球场放映这些内容，那就是告诉年轻人这样作没什麽问题， 这传送出去的不是个正确的讯息。我不知道他们是不是把棒球赛看成了曲棍球赛， 那是个比棒球赛冲突性更大的比赛，我也不确定他们是不是把棒球赛看成了滞销品, 需要用这种哗众取宠的方式来促销。我觉得这样做的见识实在不太高明。" 3. 当洋基队员走出去上到球场守备位置时，这种哗众取宠的方式吸引了好几位在休息区 的洋基队员的注意, Torre说: "大家都在说，'你看到了没?'"。在记者采访前，A-Rod 已经离开球员休息室了。(记者挖不到太多可加油添醋的内容了。) 4. 蓝鸟队过去就有揶揄洋基队的历史，在2003年球季的开幕赛前，蓝鸟队在多伦多的报 纸刊登一则广告，内容是一顶洋基的球帽被鸟粪弄脏了。这则广告也鼓励球迷去为松 井秀喜喝倒采，松井是在季後时从日本远渡重洋来到大联盟初登板亮相。在广告里有 几个日文字翻译出来的意思就是"嘘松井"，同时广告的标题写着 "蓝鸟队在晚上的开 幕战欢迎洋基队。" Torre也不喜欢这则广告, 在那时他说: "我认为这很没品...我 了解这是个玩笑，但这玩笑开得也有点太过火了。" Torre继续说: "你想要鼓励人们 来看比赛，但嘘松井和那顶帽子，我想这已超出开玩笑的范围了。" 5. A-Rod和蓝鸟队的纷争是发生在五月洋基第一次到多伦多客场作战时。A-Rod在蓝鸟队 接捕一个内野小飞球时跑过二垒和三垒之间，当蓝鸟队已经准备要接这小飞球，A-Rod 大叫着据他表示是叫"Ha!"。蓝鸟队总教练之後把A-Rod的行径称呼为"二流联盟"。当 洋基八月再度来到多伦多时，蓝鸟队在系列的开幕战就丢了一个球到A-Rod的脑後,第 二天再度被Josh Towers丢中小腿。A-Rod和Towers相互叫嚣然後两队板凳净空。 TORONTO - Alex Rodriguez and the Blue Jays have a heated history this season, with A-Rod getting plunked twice in retaliation for his infamous "Ha!" play, when he distracted Toronto fielders from an infield pop. Last night, during an otherwise-uneventful game last night, a new chapter was added. In a video game promotion in the middle of the sixth inning, two Jays fans were playing a baseball game on the scoreboard screen, pitching to A-Rod. Twice they threw at him, missing once and hitting him once and leaving Joe Torre unhappy. "It's ridiculous," Torre said after the Yanks beat Toronto, 4-1. "Some of the videos they have period, it's all about violence. There are certain cities, one of our players gets knocked down and they start laughing and cheering. I don't understand it. "To me, this game is about playing it and not about hurting somebody. To me, if you show it at a ballpark, you're telling the youngsters it's OK to do it and that's not a good message to send. I don't know if it's hockey - it's a little more of a violent game than ours - and I'm not sure if that's a carryover in what they do or how they promote. "It certainly lacks good sense, I think." The antics caught the notice of several Yankees in the dugout as the team was going out onto the field, Torre said. "People were saying, 'Did you see it?'" Rodriguez was already out of the clubhouse by the time reporters arrived. The Blue Jays have a history of tweaking the Yankees - before the 2003 season opener, they ran an advertisement in Toronto papers that showed a Yankee cap soiled with bird droppings. The ad also encouraged fans to boo Hideki Matsui, who was making his Major League debut after coming over from Japan in the offseason. There were Japanese characters in the ad that translated to "Boo Matsui" and the caption on the ad read, "The Blue Jays welcome the Yankees on Opening Night." Torre didn't like that, either, saying at the time, "I thought it was tasteless....I understand fun and games, but maybe it was a little too much. "You want to encourage people to come out, but to boo Matsui and the cap, I think it's beyond having fun." The trouble with Rodriguez started during the Yanks' first trip to Toronto in May. A-Rod was running between second and third on a pop fly and yelled what he said was "Ha" as Jays infielders set up under the ball. Toronto manager John Gibbons called A-Rod "bush league" afterward. When the Yanks came back to Toronto in August, the Jays threw behind his head in the series opener and then he was hit on the calf with a pitch by Josh Towers the next day. Rodriguez and Towers yelled at each other and the benches cleared. --
