Principal owner George Steinbrenner told The Record of Hackensack, N.J., late Saturday that Torre may not be invited back for a 13th season as manager if his team fizzles out in the first round of the playoffs for a third consecutive year. 大老板说洋基如果第一轮就回家 老托明年就不要回来 很多人对老托表示支持 Torre, who addressed his players before Sunday's Game 3, said that the topic of Steinbrenner's comments did not come up in the meeting and that the clubhouse seemed relaxed. General manager Brian Cashman said that no one in the organization -- Torre and Cashman included -- are ever "promised tomorrow." 老托在赛前会议里没提这问题 现金人说在这球团里没人确定会有明天 包括他自己和老托 "It's all about today," Cashman said. "Today we need to win a game to keep us going. It's as simple as that. 现金人说 只要管今天 今天要赢 就这麽简单 "I think we're all very well equipped to deal with everything that's thrown at us. Joe's as tough as they come, and obviously having been here for a long period of time, he's dealt with a lot. Joe's strong, and he can handle it." 在这儿这麽久 老托够强 可以处理 Yankees right-hander Mike Mussina sprang to Torre's defense, saying that the players are the ones responsible for putting the team in an 0-2 hole after dropping Games 1 and 2 at Cleveland's Jacobs Field. Mussina said that the deficit should not be a reflection of Torre's abilities. 穆帅说0-2落後 球员要负责 不代表老托的能力 "It really is not easy to play six months and be one of the four teams left in our league," Mussina said. "It really is not easy to do that year after year. When he's done it 13 times in a row, I don't know what more you want. But that's my opinion. I'd play for the guy anytime. 穆帅挺老托 说要进季後赛不容易 连续13年更不容易 还要求什麽 他任何时间都愿意为老托效力 "I don't think you can ask any more from somebody. He's dealt with every circumstance that has come up, from injuries to players not playing up to their abilities, to scrutiny. He's stood tall and got us to the postseason every year. Once you get to this point, it's a crapshoot what happens. The best team doesn't necessarily win." 他还说 他不认为还有谁可以做到 处理这麽多状况..球员受伤状况不佳等等 他每年都带领大家进入季後赛 最好的球队还不见得会赢球 Yankees captain Derek Jeter deflected questions concerning Torre and Steinbrenner, saying only that "We're trying to win today." Outfielder Johnny Damon accepted responsibility for the Yankees' struggles as a team, saying, "You know what? George is the Boss. We just have to go and play better." 被问到老板和老托 队长说 我们今天要赢球 大门说大老板是老板 我们今天要打好 Reggie Jackson, a special advisor for the organization, responded to a question about Torre's status by recalling upon one lesson from his playing career. "The moral I've always said is that as long as you have a bat in your hand and an out left before the game is over, you can rewrite the story," Jackson said. "When I was playing, if I could get one more trip, I could change what had been written for 8 2/3 innings." 洋基的顾问十月先生 Reggie Jackson说 只要手中有棒子 没到三出局 都可以重写这故事 以前上场 就算只剩一出局 都可能改变战况 Torre said that he had one thing on his mind for Sunday -- winning a baseball game. The other items, he said, were extraneous. 老托说星期天他心中只有一件事 就是赢球 "If I get caught up in that, then I really think I'm going to have a tougher time doing my job," Torre said. "There are too many people relying on me." 老托说 如果被其他事打败 干这工作会更辛苦 有这麽多人依赖他 Shaking it up: Filling out his lineup card for Game 3, Torre turned to the history books in selecting Jason Giambi over Doug Mientkiewicz at first base. 第三场老托一垒手用大吉不用小明 Giambi has six hits in 14 at-bats (.429) lifetime against Indians starter Jake Westbrook, including a two-run home run this season on Aug. 12. 大吉打Westbrook打很好 今年八月还赏他一支全垒打 "I'm just trying to see if we can get our offense going," Torre said. "But he has good numbers." 老托说 要试看看怎麽让打线动起来 他数字漂亮 Hideki Matsui, hitless in the first two games of the ALDS, has also hit Westbrook well. Matsui had five hits in 11 at-bats against the Cleveland right-hander, a .455 batting average. 前两场超贫打的松井 打Westbrook打得好 What happens Monday? No definite starter for Game 4 had been named as of game time, with the Yankees clawing for their playoff existence. Mussina and Chien-Ming Wang -- pitching on short rest -- appear to be the most likely possibilities, but Torre indicated that Mussina would be available in relief if needed in Game 3. 第四场的投手还没宣布(**这是赛前的报导**) 可能是穆帅或是休三天的小王 有可能是小王 因为老托说第三场穆帅可以担任长中继 "Right now, we need to push for tomorrow," Torre said. "We have everybody else on deck today, other than [Game 2 starter] Andy Pettitte, so we'll see who's left standing after the game tonight and make a decision about who starts tomorrow." 老托说 今天精锐尽出 除了投过第二场的派帅 所以明天看今天比赛还剩谁 Torre took Mussina aside and told him a concrete decision still had not reached concerning Monday's possible game. Likewise, Wang had also been alerted and threw a bullpen session on Saturday. 老托有通知穆帅 也让小王星期六投牛棚 "Let's get through today and we'll talk about it," Torre said. 老托说 这些要过了今天的比赛再说 Bombers bits: Sunday's ceremonial first pitch was thrown by former Yankees first baseman Tino Martinez, to catcher Jorge Posada. ... The national anthem was performed by the United States Military Academy glee club, under the supervision of Constance Chase, and was immediately followed by a flyover of two FA 18E Hornets. ... Jeter entered having played in 49 career Division Series games and 122 career postseason games, passing Bernie Williams for first place in both categories on baseball's all-time list. 星期天开球仪式很热闹 队长生涯打过49场分区季後赛 122场季後赛 比老威还多 是大联盟史上最多 Bryan Hoch is a reporter for MLB.com.
