When the Yankees were at their lowest point — with a 21-29 record, after Aaron Hill stole home to beat Andy Pettitte on May 29 in Toronto — Manager Joe Torre canceled batting practice for the next day. The Yankees scored 10 runs that night and began their long climb to the playoffs. 洋基度过他们最黑暗的时期-21胜29败,在派帅被盗本垒的那场比赛隔天, 老托取消了当天的打击练习,结果那晚洋基总共得到10分,并从那天开始 慢慢的一步一步迈进季後赛 Yesterday, after two punchless losses in buggy Cleveland, Torre canceled the team workout at Yankee Stadium. Maybe a day off, and a revamped lineup that may include Jason Giambi, will lift the Yankees from a slump. They are hitting .121 in their best-of-five American League division series. 昨天,在连续输给有虫虫的笑脸人以後,老托取消了在洋基球场的练习, 并重新的思考打线的安排,或许会让大吉先发吧,希望他能带领洋基走出低潮 因为洋基在这个系列赛只有0.121的打击率 “I don’t have an explanation,” Yankees General Manager Brian Cashman said, after praising the Cleveland pitchers. “I know I have confidence in our players. It seems that this year’s team does its best work when their backs are against the wall. That’s the way the season has been defined. So now we put ourselves as far against that wall as we can possibly be.” "我没有甚麽好说的"现金人说 "我对我们的球员有信心, The Yankees have not been swept in the postseason since the 1980 American League Championship Series against Kansas City. But that will be their fate if they lose Game 3 tonight, when Roger Clemens faces Jake Westbrook. 洋基自从1980年在美联冠军战被皇家横扫之後,就再也没有发生过了 但是如果第三战输了,那就.... “We’re here, we’re at home, we have our crowd, our energy,” Clemens said yesterday. “We’ll see if we can work to our advantage now.” "我们还没输,而且接下来是我们的主场,我们有我们的球迷,有我们的动力"老克说 "现在就看我们能不能发挥我们所拥有的优势" Clemens has not pitched since Sept. 16 because of a strained left hamstring. He battled the same injury, but in the other leg, in 2001, when he helped steer the Yankees to a victory in Game 5 of their 2001 division series against Oakland. 因为他左脚有点不舒服,所以老克从9/16以後就没上场投过球, 他的另一只脚以前也有过同样的问题,在2001年,老克他帮助洋基在对上运动家 的第5战中拿下重要的一胜 The Yankees lost the first two games of that series at home before rallying to win. It has happened six other times in a best-of-five series, most recently in 2003, when Boston beat Oakland. The Yankees’ comeback is still fresh in the veterans’ minds. 洋基输了5战3胜制的前两场,但是别灰心 史上有发生过6次输了前两场还能逆转赢球的例子,最近的一次就是2003年 红袜vs运动家 “That is the first thing that we looked to last night in the clubhouse,” said Pettitte, who shut out the Indians for six and a third innings in Game 2. “And the first thing that goes through your mind is: We’ve done this before. We can do this. We can pull this off. "昨晚在更衣室大家脑中的第一个想法是,我们经历过同样的事,我们可以做到的" 在第二场比赛老派成功封锁住笑脸人的打线 “I can’t judge how everybody’s state of mind is in that clubhouse. It was a pretty quiet flight home last night; we got in late, and everybody was tired. But I can’t fathom in my mind that we’re not going to pull this off. "我不能评断任何人的想法,但是昨天大家都没说什麽话,我想大家都累了, 但是我不敢去想像我们不能逆转这个战局" With the 2004 Boston Red Sox, Johnny Damon and Doug Mientkiewicz pulled off an even more improbable comeback, overcoming a 3-0 series deficit to upend the Yankees in the A.L.C.S. 在2004年与红袜争夺美联冠军时,那时候的大门跟小明还承受了比这次更大的压力 因为洋基先取得3-0的听牌优势 Their motto, Mientkiewicz said, was “win today.” Four days later, they had won the series. The Yankees held that mind-set all summer to snag the A.L. wild card. 小明说"那时候大家只想着先赢今天这场",结果四天後真的逆转成功 那年洋基战绩一直独据龙头,却没想到被一个外卡干掉 “We’ve been in a must-win situation since May 29,” Mientkiewicz said. “ This is not a situation we haven’t been in before. We had to play in must-win games for four and a half months. Why should it be any different now? "我们从5/29以後的战绩一直领先全联盟"小明说 "现在这种情形我们不是没经历过,那时候我们必须打出最好的战绩才能进季後赛, 那跟现在的处境不是没甚麽不一样嘛?" Mientkiewicz is a friend of the Yankees’ most important offensive player, Alex Rodriguez, whose annual October struggles have flared up again. Rodriguez has three pop-ups, three strikeouts and two walks in this series. He is 4 for his last 50 in the postseason, with no runs batted in, and the Yankees are 3-12 in those games. Rodriguez said Friday that he was not pressing, but Mientkiewicz has tried to loosen him up. 小明跟洋基炮管最大支的A-ROD是好朋友,而A-ROD的十月症又突然发作了, 这个系列赛一共3个飞球,3个三振,2次保送,过去50个季後赛打席只有4支安打, 而且没有任何打点,他说他并没有压力,但是小明希望他可以放轻松点 “I’ve been texting him back and forth this morning to keep his mind right,” he said. “He’s been through this before. We just need him to be him, and then let everybody else do our own thing.” "我希望他可以找回自己,而且让心态保持正确" "他已经想过这个问题很多次了,我们只希望他可以让他找回真正的自己, 而每个人都应该做好自己的本分才行" Mientkiewicz added: “I believe in him, probably more than anybody else outside of his family. I’ve seen him do it before. He’ll do it again. He’s going to come through, I promise.” 小明补充"我非常相信他,我之前就看过他经历像这样的事情了,他会再一次的 表现给我们看的,他很快就会回来了,我保证" When Rodriguez struggled in the first three games against Detroit last year, Torre dropped him to eighth in the lineup for Game 4. He is probably planning less drastic changes this year, but he said that some adjustments were coming. A-ROD在去年对上老虎的前三场比赛就打的不是很好,老托也在第4战将他排到8棒 他那年从未被调到这後段棒次过,但是他说他会调整回来的 “I’m not sure where, but we’re thinking about maybe, possibly, Jason,” Torre said, referring to Giambi, who did not start in Cleveland. “We’ll look and see what we’re going to do. We’ll look at matchups and stuff. But we’ll probably shake it up a little bit.” Cashman’s 4-year-old son, Teddy, would probably vote for Giambi to start. He accompanied his father to yesterday’s news conference and wore a Giambi T-shirt. "我还不确定最後的打线,不过我想会考虑大吉"老托说 大吉到现在还没有先发上场过 "我们将会思考接下来要怎麽做,会考虑打线的需求,或许真的会有一些变动" 现金人的4岁小儿子也赞成排大吉先发 他昨天跟着他老爸一起参加一个新闻会谈,而他穿着大吉的T恤 Two stools were set up at a table, and Cashman sat on his, facing reporters. His son lay his chest across his stool, putting his head down and closing his eyes. 现金人坐在他的椅子上,而他的儿子躺在他的胸口,头朝下并闭着眼 “He feels like me right now,” Cashman said, managing a smile and a laugh. The Yankees are still alive, down but not out. It is not where they want to be, but it is a spot they know well, with a sore-legged pitcher to guide them. "他现在的感觉就跟我一样"现金人说 洋基仍然还有机会,虽然情势不够好,但是还没有结束阿 这虽然不是他们愿意见到的局面,但是大家都了解到这个情势 而且接下来还有一个脚痛的投手来带领他们 “What I lack in stuff, I’ll throw my heart out there like I always have,” Clemens said. “My will will have to take over.” "我还缺少什麽嘛?? 我一直都是用心去投球"老克说 "我的意志将会战胜一切" --
