Blistering Yankee Rally Sounds the Alarm in Boston 火热的洋基让袜袜家警铃大响 By TYLER KEPNER from New York Times BOSTON, Sept. 14 — The gravity of the situation was obvious to Boston Red Sox Manager Terry Francona. Moments before, his team had a five-run lead over the Yankees, who had done their best to give away the game. 压力很明显是在粉柯南身上，前一刻袜袜还有五分领先洋基这支努力送分的队伍 (都赢了还要酸|||= =) But now the lead was cut to three, after two homers, a walk and a double against the slumping reliever Hideki Okajima. With six outs still to go, Francona called on his closer, Jonathan Papelbon. 但这个领先在冏岛秀树自爆的两支HR+一个BB+一支2B之後缩小为3分。为了剩下的 六个出局数，粉柯南换上的宝贝碰。 “It wasn’t the way we drew it up,” Francona said, “but we always feel good when Pap is in the game.” "虽然爆炸还是没停,"粉柯南说"但我们在宝贝碰投球时还是感到很酥胡" (被肛得很酥胡嘛XD) Yet breaking the glass on the fire alarm only made things worse.The Yankees were rolling, and Papelbon’s trademark glare was no more intimidating than Andy Pettitte’s had been to the Red Sox. 但打破警铃上的玻璃让事情更糟。 洋基一直安打一支一支打，然後宝贝碰闪亮的金字 招牌再也唬不了人，甚至比派派对袜袜还糟。 The Yankees completed their comeback with a swift pounding of Papelbon, and they stormed off with an 8-7 victory at Fenway Park. 洋基的逆转狠狠的重击了宝贝碰，并且一轮猛攻以8比7在芬威球场获得胜利。 The game took 4 hours 43 minutes, two minutes shy of the longest nine-inning game in major league history — played between these teams, naturally,last August at Fenway.But for the Yankees, it was worth the wait.They cut Boston’s American League East lead to four and a half games and held their three-and-a-half-game wild-card edge on Detroit. 比赛长达四小时43分钟，只少两分钟就平大联盟史上最长的九局比赛─去年八月一样是 这两支队伍在芬威球场。但对洋基来说，等待是值得的。他们将美东对红袜的胜差缩小到 4.5场，并且维持住外卡对老虎的3.5场胜差。 “I think it was our biggest win of the year, certainly,” said Alex Rodriguez, who singled in the go-ahead run. “It’s definitely character-building. It gives us a lot of confidence, coming into a place like this, being down five runs late in the game with their bullpen. You certainly feel like you stole it.” "我想这是我们今年最大的一场胜利,"打出超前分的阿肉说 "这真是character-building (不会翻|||= =)。它给我们很大的自信，在这个地方五分落後然後还要面对他们的牛棚 ，你会觉得这好像是偷来的一样。" Okajima, whose earned run average was 0.98 through Aug. 9, has an 8.49 mark in 13 games since then. After getting the last out of the seventh inning, he gave up homers to Jason Giambi and Robinson Cano to start the eighth. 冏岛在八月9号的ERA是恶心的0.98，但近13场的ERA是8.49。在七局的最後一个出局数之 後，八上以大吉和小Q两支B2B的HR开场。 With the lead slashed to 7-4, Okajima walked Melky Cabrera and gave up a double to center by Johnny Damon, who had four hits. That brought out Francona, who summoned Papelbon and watched him allow a single to Derek Jeter and Bobby Abreu’s game-tying, two-run double off the center-field wall. 比数被追到了7比4，冏岛保送牛奶弟并且被单场四安的大门敲了一支2B。这让粉柯南走出 了休息区，呼叫宝贝碰上场并看着他被队长敲安打，还有阿布飞向中外野全垒打墙的2分 打点追平安打。 Rodriguez, who had struck out in four of his last five at-bats over two days, smacked a fastball to center for a hard single. Seven Yankees had come to the plate in the inning, and all had reached base. The two runs charged to Papelbon were the first he had allowed since July 28. 过去两天五打数吞四K的阿肉，抓住一颗快速球敲了一安。在这个半局有七名洋基球员站 上打击区，并且都上到了垒包。这是宝贝碰自七月28日之後首度单局失两分。 “You never take that lineup lightly — any way, any day,” Boston catcher Jason Varitek said. “We made some mistakes.” "你不可能轻松的对付这个打线─任何方式，任何时间都一样，"袜袜的捕手Varitek说 "我们犯错了。" The Yankees could not add to their one-run lead, but they did not need to. Luis Vizcaino, whose tired shoulder felt better after a pregame workout, worked a scoreless eighth. Mariano Rivera allowed a leadoff single in the ninth but recovered for his 27th save. 洋基无法再领先更多，但他们不需要。在赛前练习肩膀状况略有好转的LV，投了无失分的 第八局。MO在第九局一开始就被打了一支1B，但随即回稳拿下本季第27次救援。 The eighth inning ended when Jorge Posada threw out pinch-runner Coco Crisp on a stolen-base attempt. It was instant redemption for Posada, who had committed a passed ball on a third strike earlier in the inning. 第八局波杀打抓到了椰子脆片的盗垒。这是波波的复仇，为了讨回前一局的不死K。 That was just one of several misplays that almost cost the Yankees the game. They survived Jeter’s throwing error on the first ball the Red Sox put in play , and Giambi let a grounder go through his legs to score a run in the third. 这只是几个差点害洋基输掉比赛的失误之一。队长在袜袜打出的第一个PLAY就传球失误， 第三局大吉那颗滚地球穿过双腿间(?!XD)并带有一分打点。 ---------------------被迫要下线了，後面请好心人接下去吧-------------------- In the fourth, Giambi could not throw out Jacoby Ellsbury on a stolen-base attempt after Pettitte had him picked off. Three runs scored in that inning, the last for Pettitte, who needed 101 pitches just to wade that far. “I really don’t know what to say,” said Pettitte, who failed in his first attempt at his 200th career victory. “They just worked me extremely hard. I went out in the fourth inning and tried to be real aggressive, and two pitches later, it was first and third. It was a real struggle tonight. “What a game, though. To score six runs against their bullpen, that was huge.” Before that could happen, though, the Yankees let the lead get a little further away. In the sixth, with Jose Veras pitching, Giambi could not handle the bounce on a throw from Abreu in right field that would have doubled off David Ortiz to end the inning. Two runs later scored. “I should have run out and gotten it instead of short-hopping it,” Giambi said. “I didn’t realize that Papi wasn’t running back.” It was 7-2 by the end of the sixth, and Yankees Manager Joe Torre had used three relievers in whom he has little faith: Veras, Sean Henn and Brian Bruney. During the pitching change from Veras to Henn, Jeter predicted on the mound that the Yankees would win. “We had a lot of opportunities that we let slip by,” Jeter said. “I thought we were taking good at-bats. We were swinging the bats well; we just weren’t getting the big hits. And it was only the sixth inning.” Bruney’s 1-2-3 seventh seemed insignificant at the time, but it looked huge when the Yankees came back. Bruney (3-1) earned the victory and got the lineup card from Torre. “He was terrific,” said Torre, who also praised Veras for working a clean fifth. Red Sox starter Daisuke Matsuzaka came into the game with a 1-4 record and a 9.57 E.R.A. in his last five starts. Four batters into this one — after Matsuzaka spun Jeter off the plate with a high and inside fastball — the Yankees had the bases loaded with help from an infield hit, an error and a hit batsman. But Matsuzaka got two grounders to escape the jam, and a pattern was established: he would throw a lot of pitches, but he would grind through. Matsuzaka threw 120 pitches over five and two-thirds innings, and he was in line for his 15th victory until the Yankees’ eighth-inning thunder. “I certainly don’t want to watch that again, but I’ll look at the final score,” Torre said. “As a manager, I’m very proud of the fact that everything turned out all right, because the guys never stopped believing they could win the game. It’s as simple as that.” INSIDE PITCH Roger Clemens will make his start Sunday, Joe Torre confirmed, meaning Phil Hughes will start at home Monday. After that, the Yankees have options. They plan to use six starters down the stretch, Torre said, and their priority is to use that depth to get Andy Pettitte and Chien-Ming Wang ready for a possible playoff series. “It’s most important, with the starting rotation we have, that we do what’s best for Andy and Wang,” Torre said. “We just have to try to figure it out.” -- 棒球，是像酒一样有後劲的 --
