Tampa Bay Rays rally from 7-0 deficit to beat New York Yankees 8-7 in 12 innings, win AL wild-card race as Boston Red Sox lose finale http://tinyurl.com/6lx7pft ST. PETERSBURG — The only thing wilder than the ending Wednesday night was the celebration in the Rays clubhouse. And the explanations for what they did. 最为不可思议的周三夜晚，在光芒的庆功会里结束。 The Rays extended their amazing season in stunning, staggering fashion, winning the American League wild card when Evan Longoria hit a walkoff homer in the 12th inning to complete a remarkable comeback with an 8-7 win moments after the Red Sox blew a ninth-inning lead in Baltimore. 光芒延续了这惊人的球季，以漂亮、难以置信的方式赢得了美联外卡，龙哥在12局下的 再见全垒打完成了惊人的大逆转，在此之前红袜也被金莺逆转落败。 "There is no human explanation for what happened here," Ben Zobrist said. "That just doesn't happen in baseball. This is what you would dream about happening." 「没有人可以解释发生了甚麽事。」Zoby说：「这不会发生在棒球场上，这只会发生在你 的梦里。」 If the Rays didn't believe it as the champagne and beer sprayed around their clubhouse early this morning, they will when they get to Texas this afternoon and open the best-of-five AL Division Series on Friday, a rematch of last season. 即使光芒在今早不会相信香槟与啤酒将会洒满他们的休息室，不过他们仍旧将到德州去， 去与游骑兵展开五场ALDS，为去年报仇。 "Oh my God. It's really made for some kind of book, whether it's a fairy tale or something,'' Longoria said. "It's tough to do. But we did it somehow." 「我的天，这就像一本故事，不管他是童话还是甚麽。」龙哥：「故事很难写， 但不管怎样我们就是做到了。」 All it took Wednesday was a stunning and stirring comeback from a seven-run seventh-inning deficit capped by Longoria's three-run homer. A two-out, two-strike homer in the bottom of the ninth by Dan Johnson, yes, that Dan Johnson, to tie. Then — moments after the Boston loss flashed on the scoreboard — Longoria homered in the 12th at 12:05 a.m. and rounded the bases with a massive celebration breaking out, Born to be Wild blaring. 周三的惊奇大逆转由龙哥的三分炮开始。九下，两人出局，2-2的情况下轮到了蛋强森，是 的，那个蛋哥，追平全垒打。然後─当波士顿被金莺逆转的时候─龙哥在三分钟後来了一 发再见全垒打，汽笛声开始大作。 "This is going to go down with (Bobby) Thomson's home run, Joe Carter's home run,'' Rays manager Joe Maddon said after the nearly five-hour game. "I know it's not the World Series, but this is going to be attached to a lot of significant baseball lore as we move forward.'' 「这支全垒打将会跟Thomson跟Joe Carter的全垒打记载在同一页上，」西瓜说：「我知 道现在不是世界大赛，但这将会像许多棒球传说一样推进我们向前。」 Just to get to extra innings took a remarkable comeback, their largest of this season and second biggest in Tampa Bay franchise history, and before a raucous Tropicana Field crowd of 29,518. 延长赛的惊奇大逆转，是本季最大逆转比分，队史第二大逆转比赛。就在29,518名球迷面 前。 Down 7-0 through seven inning after a disappointing start by David Price, the Rays rallied for six runs in the eighth, capped by a three-run homer that was Longoria's 30th of the season. But that was topped by what happened in the ninth. Down to their last out, the Rays reached for their luckiest charm, sending up Johnson — who hit The homer in Boston in September 2008 — and he delivered another dagger to the Red Sox. "I told B.J. (Upton) before he went to the plate this is gonna be a rerun of 2008,'' Longoria said. "I don't know how he does it.'' 蛋哥是个magic man!(重复部分太多懒得翻了) Said Maddon: "I was hoping.'' 西瓜←甚麽都没做，只发正念。 Down to his last strike, Johnson lined Cory Wade's 2-and-2 pitch on a line drive just inside the rightfield foul pole to tie the score. And then that was topped by what happened in the 12th. After rookies Brandon Gomes and Jake McGee again pitched in with scoreless innings, and after Longoria made another tremendous defensive play in the top of the 12th, they finally ended it in the bottom. Longoria was at the plate with one out when the cheers erupted with the Red Sox loss, and he stepped out of the box to focus. "Just tried to remember what we were playing for," he said. "Obviously we had an opportunity at that point to win and get into the playoffs." He grasped it, lining a 2-and-2 pitch from Scott Proctor just the over the short wall in the leftfield corner. "I was just thinking, 'Wow, did this just really happen,' " Longoria said. "When I saw it clear the fence it didn't seem real." 蛋哥真的很magic，牛棚很solid，龙哥很dramatic。 The Rays had both champagne (212 bottles) and beer (40 cases) chilled for a potential clinching celebration and equipment bags loaded for the trip to Texas and improbably they needed both, as barely eight minutes lapsed from when the Red Sox loss till the Rays won. The game turned out to be a classic, and also a battle of attrition. The Rays used 18 position players and eight pitchers, and with Upton cramping up at the end, Maddon said he was prepared to put DH Johnny Damon in the outfield and use Andy Sonnanstine as a pinch-hitter. Also, the next pitcher was going to be Monday starter James Shields. 当12局下B.J被三振後，西瓜已经准备好让大门守备，SONNY上来"代打"，在这 之後阿盾也会上去投球。 Having battled so valiantly, so relentlessly and so improbably over the last month to go into Wednesday's season finale with a chance, the Rays couldn't have gotten off to a worse start. A defensive mistake by second baseman Zobrist and a brutally bad pitching performance from Price, who performed nothing like the ace he is supposed to be, putting them in a 5-0 hole by the second inning, and it was 7-0 by the fifth as the Rays had only two hits against the Yankees patchwork pitching staff. 赢了很热血，但是过程相当挣扎，其实可以不必赢得那麽辛苦才对。 The Rays became the first team to make the postseason after being nine games out in September. "This team has something special inside of it,'' team president Matt Silverman said. "We can't wait to see where it's going to take us.'' 光芒创下了历史，成为史上第一个在九月落後九场後晋级季後赛的球队。 本来想仔细翻的，无奈内容重覆的地方夭寿多...所以後面就简单翻译了。 如有翻错或是不好的地方请务必跟我说一声。 --
