And the way Joe Girardi was talking Thursday night, Ian Kennedy may be on his way out of the rotation, perhaps all the way to Triple-A. 话说 Hughes 肋骨断裂带着 9.00的 ERA 离开了. 从周四 Girardi 的说话方式来看, Kennedy 也许将从先发轮值移除,说不定直接进到三A. So much for the year of the young guns. 由此本年度洋基的青春战士计画也告终结 Suffice to say that turning the calendar page to May didn't brighten the outlook at the Stadium, an outlook that is becoming gloomier by the day. 实在话,翻开五月日历,洋基球场没有变得比较明亮,反而一日暗似一日. Kennedy wasn't terrible last night, but another short start put the burden on the bullpen, and, let's face it, that's asking for trouble. The result was an 8-4 loss to the Tigers, which completed a sweep that was all too revealing of the Yankees' problems. Kennedy 昨晚表现并不可怕,但是局数吃的不够,还是拖累了牛棚,讲白了算是自找麻烦.球 赛结果 8-4 老虎横扫洋基,也突显了洋基存在的问题. Right now it looks like Chien-Ming Wang will have to duplicate Ron Guidry's 25-3 season of 1978 for the Yankees to seriously contend in the AL East. 看来王建民必须复制 Guidry 1978年 25 胜 3 败的纪录,才能让洋基在美联还有能力一搏. Last night, they were just looking for a reason to believe their young pitching isn't going to be a bust this season, and Kennedy didn't deliver. He wasn't as tentative this time, but when he had to throw his 89-mph fastball in hitters' counts, the Tigers made him pay in a four-run third inning. 昨晚他们抱着一线希望,本季年轻投手计画不至於一败涂地,然而 Kennedy 并没帮他们达成 他这次表现比较稳定,但是球数落後,必须用89哩速球对决时,老虎第三局敲出四分回敬他. Just as in the case of Hughes the other night, it's fair to ask whether Kennedy is ready to succeed in the big leagues right now. Girardi, in fact, made a point of noting the Yankees won't need a fifth starter much in May because of off-days, and said they needed to figure out "what's best for Ian Kennedy." 如早先问 Hughes 的, 也要同样的问问 Kenndy 是否已经准备好在大联盟投球了.Girardi 提到由於休兵日的关系,洋基五月份比较不需要用到五号先发,他说:这段时间要想想怎样安 排Kennedy会比较好. It sounded an awful lot like a bus ticket to Scranton/Wilkes-Barre for Kennedy to work out his problems, but we'll see. 这听起来像是给 Kennedy 一张直达 三A SWB队的车票,让他去那里解决他的问题,但还是要 观察看看. At least we know the Yankees aren't so paranoid about the early season failure of their young pitchers as to invent an injury to Hughes in some attempt to avoid sending him to the minors. 至少从这里我们可以看到,季初年轻投手培训计画的失败,并没有让洋基偏执到必须假造受 伤藉口让 Hughes 免於下放小联盟. As secretively as they seem to want to operate with Girardi, anything was starting to seem possible. 照他们与 Girardi 隐密的作业方式,又似乎什麽都有可能. Instead, Hughes has a fractured rib,which may or may not explain his stunningly poor pitching, but at least justifies his position on the disabled list. Hughes肋骨断裂和他烂到爆的投球是否有关,不得而知,至少是个正当理由让他进伤兵名单. Who knows whether the Yankees would have sent him to the minors if not for the injury, but it's a moot point now, and only adds to the stress level at the Stadium these days that threatens to suffocate Girardi and his ballclub. Huehes 如果没有受伤,洋基会不会把他下放小联盟, 也成了疑点,这徒增这些日子以来带给 Girardi 与球队近乎窒息的莫大压力. For now, they have to hope that Darrell Rasner will transfer his brilliance in Triple-A this season to some level of success when he replaces Hughes in the rotation. 现在他们只能寄望取代 Hughes 先发的 Darrell Rasner 把他本球季三A的卓越表现多少成 功的转化到大联盟. Beyond that, it seems they'll try to get by with a four-man rotation for parts of May and hope Kennedy makes progress. It's either that or Kei Igawa. 除此之外,他们必须度过五月部分四人先发轮值的状态,而後希望 Kennedy 能再进步,或者 让井川庆上来表现了. John Harper New York Daily News --
