出处：http://nbcsports.msnbc.com/id/25053343/ It may be early, but Red Sox-Cubs is my dream Boston, Chicago currently baseball's best — let's hope it holds OPINION By Mike Celizic NBCSports.com contributor updated 2:01 a.m. ET June 9, 2008 It's dangerous and probably dumb to draw conclusions about a baseball season when barely one-third of the games are in the books. But it’s also fun, especially this year, when it's possible to legitimately dream in June of what may be the best World Series matchup in memory. 球季已经结束了近三分之一，现在如果要说出结论是相当危险且愚蠢的。但好玩咩，特别 是今年，在六月夏夜晚风时刻坐着合理白日梦想着最梦幻的WS组合。 How does Red Sox-Cubs sound to you? They’re arguably the two best teams in baseball. My colleague, Tony DeMarco, disagrees. He thinks the Angels are the cream of the majors. And he may be right; the team that claims two cities as its hometown is .003 percentage points ahead of Boston in the standings. 红袜-小熊这组合听起来怎样？这两支球队是现在来看最棒的两支球队。我的伙伴Tony可 不这麽认为。他认为天使才是最棒的。他或许是对的，这支宣称有两个城市是它主场的球 队目前胜率方面以0.003个百分点领先袜子。 But I’ll take the Red Sox and Cubbies because of the way they’re excelling both in pitching and offense. Right now, the Chicago White Sox belong in that argument even ahead of the Angels for the same reason. 我选择小熊和红袜这组合一定有我的理由，因为他们不论在投手或者进攻方面都是顶尖的 。但目前来说也许大家会争论说白袜和天使在进攻及投手也有强大的竞争力。 Look at the run differentials for those three teams. Boston is outscoring its opponents by 1.19 runs per game and the White Sox are scoring 1.30 runs per game more than they’re giving up. But for sheer dominance, you’ve got to look no further than the Cubs who are scoring nearly two runs more a game — 1.81 to be exact — than their opponents. Second best in the National League are the Philadelphia Phillies, whose runs per game are 1.43 higher than their team earned-run average. 来看看这三支球队的得分差，胖子一场比赛平均比对手多得1.19分，而白袜则比他们所 丢的分数还要多得1.30分。但若单纯看优势的话，你该看看小雄，平均一场几乎比对手多 得两分-正确来说是1.81分。国联胜分第二多的球队费城人也才以1.43分高於他们的团队 平均。(这边的higher than their team earned-run average指的是哪队？) Things can and will change. Last year, the best teams on June 8 were the New York Mets and Red Sox. The Mets, as their fans are trying to forget, just missed the playoffs after collapsing down the stretch. But Boston was at year ’s end what they were in June — the best team in the game. 有大仙加持，事情总是会改变。去年六月最棒的两支球队是梅子和胖子。梅子的球迷或许 想要把去年给忘掉，他们季末崩盘之後错失了季後赛机会。但胖子对的表现从六月到球季 结束都是一样-他们是最棒的球队。 In the American League last year, the three teams in first place on June 8 — Cleveland, Boston and Los Angeles — were in first place at the end of the season. The fourth AL playoff team was the New York Yankees, who were in second place in the AL East but three games under .500 and far behind in the wild-card race in June. 去年的美联，在六月八号排名首位的球队分别是胖子，笑脸人，天使三队，他们盘据榜首 一直到球季结束。第四支进入季後赛球队是洋基，美东第二名，但在六月时候他们还差五 成胜率三场且离外卡还很遥远。 In the NL, nobody who was in first place on June 8 — the Mets, Milwaukee Brewers and San Diego Padres — made the playoffs. NL East winner Philadelphia was six games out behind both the Mets and the Atlanta Braves; NL Central champion Chicago was five games behind the Brewers. In the NL West, Arizona was in second, a game behind the Padres, and the Colorado Rockies were in fourth, 7.5 games behind. 在国联，六月八号时候没有人能够站稳龙头。梅子，酿酒人，教士-看起来可以进入季後 赛。国联东区冠军费城人还以六场落後勇士以及梅子，国联中区冠军小熊还以五场落後酿 酒人。国联西区的小蛇排在第二，落後教士，而落矶则排第四，胜差达到七点五场。 So if you want to argue nothing will change this year, there are numbers to back you up. And if you want to argue that everything will change, there are numbers to back that up, too. 所以如果你想考邀说今年的没有事情会再改变了，这些数据可以替你撑腰。但如果你考邀 说今年还没结束，任何事情还有变化，也有数据可以替你撑腰。 But there are reasons to believe that the magical matchup between the Red Sox and Cubs is realistic. Both teams have offenses that should be pretty much recession-proof and their pitching, while not the best in their leagues, is close to it. 但小熊和红袜这个梦个梦幻组合对我而言是有理由去相信会成真的。这两支球队的进攻已 经好到不能说了，不需再去证明，而他们的投手，就算不是最好，也差不多了。 我也想看这对战组合 不过到时候应该会有一堆熊迷出现>.^Y -- 「写下这些日记的人，在重新踏上阿根廷的土地时，就已经死去。我，已经不再是我。」 ---Che Guevara--- --
