Giambi could start as Torre goes on the offensive 大吉要先发了 The Yankees' lineup for the first two games of the American League Division Series produced a paltry four runs and eight hits in 20 innings. 洋基打线前两场20局8安打4得分 Expect to see some changes in that lineup for tonight's do-or-die Game 3. 今晚的生死战中打线必须有改变 "We'll look and see what we're going to do," manager Joe Torre said. "We'll look at matchups and stuff, but we'll probably shake it up a little bit." "将看看接下来怎麽做" "会考虑打线的需求,应该会有一些些变动" Torre hinted that Jason Giambi, who has only one pinch-hit at-bat in the series so far, could start tonight, either at first base or as the designated hitter. 老托暗示是大吉,可能当1B或是DH,他之前只有一打数 "I'm just thinking about getting his bat in there and the fact of what he brings to the table," Torre said of Giambi, who has a .326 average in 27 career Division Series games. "Just because he hasn't played doesn't mean we necessarily ignore what he can do for us." "希望他的大棒子可以有所贡献" 大吉在27场的分区系列赛中有0.326的打率 不能因为他没上场,就代表他不能有所作为 The Yankees need any kind of offensive boost they can get. The team average is .121 in the first two games of the playoffs, something the Yankees hope to change against Cleveland starter Jake Westbrook tonight. 洋基希望任何有攻击力的打者都能发挥,因为前两场打击率才0.121 The numbers are promising: the right-hander and one-time Yankee, Westbrook is 1-4 with a 7.50 ERA in seven appearances (five starts) at Yankee Stadium in his career, and was 0-2 with a 12.46 ERA in his two starts against the Yankees this season. 笑脸人投手生涯对洋基1-4 ERA7.50 (这麽高 真夭寿) 今年则是0-2 ERA12.46 (完了 要变赛扬了) "They're a very good hitting team, best in baseball," Westbrook said when asked about the Yankees' struggles on offense in this series. "It's my job to go out there and pitch my game and try to continue that trend." "洋基打击很强"Westbrook说 "我的工作是让他们出局,然後延续连胜的气势" In a further effort to shake the Yankees out of their hitting slump, the team canceled yesterday's workout and batting practice. 洋基取消今天的练习 "We just decided to bag it for today," Torre said, adding later, "I think everybody is trying a little bit too hard. So hopefully we'll come back here tomorrow and have a little fun with it." "大家太严肃了,我希望大家可以轻松点"老托说 Roger Clemens didn't have to pitch in Friday's bug attack in Cleveland, and in his opinion the rest of his team shouldn't have had to play either. 老克礼拜五那场并没有上场 而他表示那种情况不适合继续打 "I would have probably pulled us off the field," Clemens said of the swarm of midges that plagued the Yankees' in the bottom of the eighth inning of Friday's 2-1 Game 2 loss. 第二战八局下洋基遭遇了虫虫危机 "我应该叫他们先不要打了"老克说 Umpire crew chief Bruce Froemming said after the game he never considered stopping the game, and Clemens did not elaborate or clarify who -- the team, umpires, or Torre -- should have made the decision. Clemens did admit that the decision was easier to make in retrospect. 主审Bruce Froemming说他从未想过要暂停比赛 老克也没有向任何人提出这个决定 "It's easy to say now because it only last about 40 minutes," Clemens said. "只不是过暂停约40分钟而已"老克说 General manager Brian Cashman said he didn't consider making any move to halt play. 现金人不认为需要去暂停比赛 "It's the same for both teams," Cashman said. "You could even argue it might be tougher for the hitter with that stuff coming on. It was hard for the pitching, hard for the hitting. It's a unique situation and I've never seen that happen before." "大家都一样"现金人说 "他们的打者也受到干扰阿,投打都一样不好受" Doug Mientkiewicz said the team tried to make light of the situation by blaming it on Derek Jeter's cologne. 小明开玩笑的说大家把错指向基特的古龙水 "The joke around the guys was that we all had Derek Jeter's 'Driven' on," Mientkiewicz said. (这句不太懂) With all hands on deck tonight, Torre said he could not name a Game 4 starter until after Game 3. 第三战没结束,第四战投手还不知道 "We haven't committed to that one based on we need to win Game 3," Torre said. "And then we'll work on Game 4... we have to make sure we have everybody available (today)." "不能还没决定第三战的事就先想第四战阿" Everybody except, of course, Game 1 starter Chien-Ming Wang, who threw a bullpen at Yankee Stadium yesterday and could start Game 4 on short rest, especially if Mike Mussina or Phil Hughes is used tonight in relief of Clemens. 穆帅或休斯如果在今晚上场的话,小王就蛮有机会在第四战先发 Andy Pettitte, who pitched 6 1/3 shutout innings in Game 2 on Friday, said he hadn't been told anything about preparing for a Game 5 start, though he would be the primary candidate for that spot. 老派昨天主投6又1/3局,而他也还没表示会不会担任第五战先发 但是他应该是第一人选 "We hadn't talked about that," Pettitte said. "I told them I'd pitch whenever they want me to pitch. I feel good." "还没讨论这个"老派说 "我告诉他们,只要你们要我上场,我就上!!" Paul Byrd is still set to start a Game 4 for the Indians. Indians manager Eric Wedge said he would not pitch consider pitching the Indians' ace C.C. Sabathia, who allowed three runs in five innings in Game 1, on short rest for a Game 4. Byrd还是笑脸人第四战的预定先发 并不会让CC只休息几天就上场 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ 原文出处 http://www.nj.com/yankees/ledger/index.ssf?/base/sports-1 /119173723220480.xml&coll=1&thispage=1 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ --
