BOSTON -- No pitcher has mastered the Tampa Bay Devil Rays like Tim Wakefield. 波士顿讯 没有哪个投手能像魏提姆这样海扁魔鬼鱼队。 Monday night was yet another masterpiece in the knuckleballer's collection. Wakefield limited the Devil Rays to two hits over eight shutout innings as the Red Sox held off the visitors, 3-0, at Fenway Park. 星期一晚上是这位蝴蝶球投手又一生涯力作，他在八局的投球当中，只让魔鬼鱼打出两支 安打，没有掉分，从而让红袜以三比零击败来访的对手。 Julio Lugo was the offensive star, with three hits, including an RBI single. Jonathan Papelbon made history when he recorded the save with a scoreless ninth, becoming the first Red Sox pitcher with at least 28 saves in consecutive seasons. 鲁胡立是红袜当晚最闪亮的球员，三支安打一分打点。潘约瑟则是在九局上来救援成功之 後成为红袜史上第一个连续两季至少二十八次救援成功的投手。 But the night belonged to Wakefield, who improved to 9-3 in his last 12 starts. 不过今晚的焦点仍是魏提姆，他过去十二场先发九胜三败。 Thanks to some stellar defense from Eric Hinske and Mike Lowell, Wakefield held the Devil Rays hitless through six innings, retiring the first nine batters he faced. 拜辛艾瑞以及娄麦克几次精采的守备所赐，魏提姆让魔鬼鱼前六局打不出安打。而且前三 局让魔鬼鱼三上三下。 Hinske made a running grab of Akinori Iwamura's liner to right to begin the game, and Lowell made a nice backhanded stab of a sharp Brendan Harris grounder in the fifth, throwing out the Tampa Bay second baseman by a step. 辛艾瑞一开赛就在行进间接杀了的禕阿基右外野飞球，娄麦克则是在五局上反手接住魔鬼 鱼二垒手何布兰的强劲反弹球，接着一个垫步快传一垒，刺杀出局。 "Tip your hat to our guys," a grateful Wakefield said. "Great defense. Mikey Lowell made a good play. Lugo made some great plays out there today. And our offense did a great job scoring enough runs to bring in Pap to close it up." 魏提姆表示：『向我们亲爱的队友们致敬吧，干的好啊！娄麦克那球真是漂亮，而且鲁胡 立今天也表现得无错(←译按：我故意的)。然後进攻火力今天也很捧场，灌进了几分，让 小潘可以上场救援。』 Wakefield's only hiccups were walks to Iwamura leading off the fourth and a one-out base on balls to Dioner Navarro in the sixth. 魏提姆今天唯一的状况是他在四局上一开始就保送了禕阿基，还有六局上一出局的时候， 保送了奈狄奥。 "He came out of the bullpen with a good one [knuckleball] and took it right to the game, and not only did he have his good knuckleball, but he located his fastball when he wanted to and threw some real good breaking balls," manager Terry Francona said. 粉科南表示：『他今天一上场，夭寿，那蝴蝶球投得真是好。还不只是这样而已，他的快 速球也都能投到他想投的地方，而且那曲球也是好到吓死人。』 Wakefield's catcher, Doug Mirabelli, agreed. 魏提姆的御用捕手米道格也同意这段话。 "He had a good bullpen [session] going into the game," Mirabelli said. "The ball was just coming out of his hand cleanly in the bullpen, and it had a lot of life down there. Then, after that first inning, it was just dancing all over the place. I felt if we were able to give him a couple of runs, we were going to win this game." 米道格表示：『他在牛棚热身的时候就投的很棒啦，那从他手中飞出来的球好像都是活生 生的呢。然後一开赛，妈的更不得了了，那球根本就是到处乱飞啊。我那时候就觉得，我 们只要随便帮他打个一两分就一定会赢啦。』 But Wakefield's path toward pitching immortality quickly came to an end in the seventh, when Carl Crawford lined a clean single between Kevin Youkilis and Alex Cora into right field for Tampa Bay's first hit of the night. 但是魏提姆的无安打之路在七局上被中断了。寇卡尔一记越过尤凯文和柯亚立中间的飞球 成了魔鬼鱼的第一支安打。 "It was a knuckleball," Crawford said. "I just tried to stay back as long as I can. I don't try to do the normal professional swing, because I don't think that works." 寇卡尔表示：『那球是蝴蝶球没错。我就试着慢点挥棒而已，我没有像平常那样挥大棒， 因为我觉得那招应该没有用。』 "I really didn't even know until the standing ovation occurred," Youkilis said of the Fenway crowd's response after Tampa Bay's first hit. "I didn't even peek at all." 尤凯文对全场观众对於魔鬼鱼队第一支安打的反应表示：『我一直到观众都站起来鼓噪才 知道发生了什麽事，我根本没有去注意好呗。』 It was on June 19, 2001, when Wakefield went even farther against the same team, taking a no-hitter into the ninth inning at Tampa Bay. That night, Wakefield led, 5-0, heading into the final frame before hanging on for a 5-4 win. 上一次魏提姆面对同一队而投出接近无安打的比赛是两千零一年六月十九日，那天晚上， 魏提姆在九局下半登场时，比数是五比零。不过终场红袜仅以五比四取胜。 On Monday night, Wakefield had a similar feel midway through the game. 星期一晚上，魏提姆比到一半的时候也有了这种预感。 "Probably after five, I knew [about the no-hitter]," Wakefield said. "Again, it's such a close ballgame and you're just trying to keep runners off base, especially the top three guys in the lineup, who can really run really, really well. Dougie and I were on the same page together, mixing some good pitches in when we needed to." 魏提姆表示：『大概五局的时候吧，我就发现目前是个无安打的局面。然後，在这种惊险 的情况下，你就必须要想办法不让他们上垒，尤其时他们的前三棒，那三个跑的非常非常 快的家伙。我跟道格老弟两人心意相通(!?)、全力以赴。』 Wakefield (14-10) improved to 18-2 lifetime against Tampa Bay and has earned a decision in all 24 starts this season, the most since Jack McDowell of the White Sox posted decisions in his first 27 starts of 1993. 魏提姆将他生涯面队魔鬼鱼的战绩推进至十八胜二败，而且他在本季的二十四次先发全都 「自行承担」(←我实在是不知道怎麽翻 囧)。这是自一九九三年芝加哥白袜队麦杰克的 连续二十七场以来最多的一次。 "I had my 'A' stuff in Anaheim [on Tuesday], just things didn't go the right way," Wakefield said. "I gave up the wrong hits at the wrong time, and considering the circumstances, the way [Rays starter James] Shields has been pitching this year, you really gotta go out there and go get them, especially with the speed they have." 魏提姆表示：『我上星期二在天使主场投得其实不错，只是老是在错误的时候被打安打。 那今天考虑到队上的气氛还有席詹姆今年的表现以及那群跑的快得要命的家伙，我实在是 必须把看家本领都拿出来。』 Shields (9-8) nearly matched Wakefield where it counted, allowing only an RBI double to David Ortiz in the first. Lugo slid safely home when Navarro could not handle the short-hop relay from Josh Wilson. 席詹姆的表现几可与魏提姆匹敌，他只在一局下被欧大卫敲出一支一分打点的二垒安打， 鲁胡立趁着捕手奈狄奥还没拿稳游击手韦贾许的转传球时滑回本垒。 Shields allowed just the one run on five hits, retiring the last eight batters he faced after a one-out single by Lowell in the fourth. 席詹姆被打五支安打只掉了一分，而且他从四局下娄麦克打了一支一垒安打之後，让接下 来的八位红袜打者无功而返。 Featuring mostly a fastball that reached 97 mph several times, Papelbon came on to relieve Wakefield to begin the ninth. He blew away Iwamura and Crawford with strikeouts before walking B.J. Upton. Carlos Pena grounded out to second to seal the closer's 28th save in 30 chances. 以几达九十七英哩的快速球为主要武器的潘约瑟在九局上半接替魏提姆上场关门。他在保 送厄逼追之前，先三振了禕阿基和寇卡尔，接着潘卡罗一记打到二垒方向的滚地球，成了 潘约瑟三十次救援机会里的第二十八次救援成功。 But most of the talk afterward was how Wakefield continues to find ways to baffle hitters, getting better with age. 但是最让人津津乐道的，还是魏提姆如何在上了年纪之後仍然能够继续将打者玩弄於股掌 之间。 "He's a good pitcher," Francona said of his 41-year-old starter. "He works hard. He's gotten to that point in his career where you have to probably work harder than you ever have in your life to maintain what you've done, and in Wake's case, do better. This guy has been a blessing for us. I think it goes under the radar sometimes because of the way he pitches. I hope it doesn't. It's a phenomenal outing, and he's been phenomenal, and he's not done." 粉科南在提到这位四十一岁的先发投手时提到：『他是个好投手。他很努力。他已经到了 那个一般人为了不让自己在生涯中所做的一切前功尽弃而拚死奋斗的年龄了。而且相对於 一般人而言，老魏还得更努力。他对我们来说是个吉兆。我认为，他有时候会失常可能是 肇因於他的投球方式，但是我希望千万不是因为这样。他的表现很惊人，他本身很惊人， 而且，他还是现役。』 贺，魏提姆迈向美联胜投王。 明天雷琼也要加油啊，不要又喇赛了。 明天我要努力去隔壁卧底，帮金莺加油。 Old knuckleballers never die. One day they just topple off the mound. -- 国产男：「干你娘！」　「唉唷～好恶心！」「骂脏话！没水准！」「低级！垃圾！」 ＡＢＣ：「干你娘！」　「他会说脏话耶～」「哈哈～好可爱唷～」「少骂脏话唷～」 外国人：「干你娘！」　「他要干我娘耶～」「走开！是干我娘！」「是干我娘啦！」 Click for more bloody jokes http://www.wretch.cc/blog/BloodyJoker --
