Can't do it, can you? 你能想像Tek穿上其他球队的制服打球嘛？力红利公胯卖？ "That would be hard," Derek Jeter said. "让我冷静一下"， ㄐ特说道，"难" How about you, Mariano Rivera? Mo立功跨卖，乾五可能？ "He's their captain," he said. "That tells you what he means to them." "他是他们的队长ㄟ"，他说道"那和啥洨菜逼八地位不一样，他是有特殊意义的" Indeed. 此外 "When you think of the Red Sox, he's one of the people that comes to mind," Joe Torre said. "当你想到肥袜时候，他就是那个群众心目当中的那个人物"乔拖瑞说道。 Wait, there's more. 等等，还有更多 "It's the way he plays the game, the respect he has for the game," Josh Hamilton said. "这就是男子汉的游戏阿，他在场上拥有他应该得到的尊重"，目前被ㄐㄐ锁定的 人物说道。 For a decade, Varitek has represented the Red Sox with grace and grit. He might be the poster boy for some of the best years the franchise has ever had -- six playoff appearances, including two championships, in 10 seasons. 过去十年来，Tek是最能够代表肥袜精神的人，在十个球季中，六 次季後赛经验，包括了两个冠军。 He has helped changed the way people perceive the Red Sox. Once lovable losers, they're now widely respected both for winning and for doing it the right way. 他也改变了大众对於肥袜的看法，除了某位认为肥袜还要在86年才能得到冠军的 板友>.^6。一个曾经是可敬的输家，他们现在朝向胜利的道路前进。 He's not the only Red Sox player who typifies this approach. Tim Wakefield, Mike Lowell, Mike Timlin and others provide a leadership core as solid as any in the game. 他并不是唯一可以代表肥袜精神的人。老蝴蝶，卖肉，大叔还有其他中坚份子 也在所有的比赛中提供他所需要的帮助使这份领导能力相形稳固起来。 That "C" on Varitek's jersey speaks volumes. He's the Red Sox captain in every sense of the word. 那个在Tek身上的"C"字告诉了我们他的份量。不管在世界上的那个地方， 他永远都是咱的队长。 Recently, when he briefly snapped out of a terrible slump with a hit, the Red Sox celebrated as if they'd won another championship. 最近，当他用了一只安打挥别最近一连串低潮时，肥袜们好像得到另一座 冠军般的帮他庆祝。 "It's what he means to us," Red Sox manager Terry Francona said. "He got that hit in New York, and you see 24 guys and a manager and a couple of trainers rooting for him." "他对咱来说有不同的意义"，粉科南接着说"你看到他对ㄐㄐ打出那支安打同时， 全队上下包含了几个训练员通通为他感到高兴" But nothing lasts forever. 没有事情是绝对永远 Varitek's future with the Red Sox has become a hot topic on Boston sports radio at a time when he's hitting .218 and sometimes looking overmatched at the plate. Tek的未来以及肥袜的抉择已经变成波士顿地区运动电台最佳的饭後话题，特别是 他只打出了0.218打击率且打击情况日益变糟。 Because he is 36 years old, because he is unsigned after this season and because the Red Sox have had acquiring a catcher on their to-do list for more than a year, the previously unthinkable has become thinkable. 因为他已经36岁了，因为他在这一季後将成为自由球员，因为肥袜最近几年来 一直把找到一个堪用的捕手作为补强的要点，种种都使的原本大家想都不会想 的问题变成了问题。 Money could become an issue. Varitek is represented by Scott Boras, and rumors have Boras seeking a four-year contract for Varitek. 钱会变成一个议题。Tek是那该死的Boras的客户，有谣传指出Boras要替Tek找一份 四年的合约。 Varitek's value could change depending on how the second half of the season goes, who the Red Sox acquire and how the season plays out. Tek的价值可能因於下半季的走向而有所改变，肥袜需要怎样的人且这季如何结束。 To anyone Red Sox fan ready to throw Varitek off the bus: Be careful what you wish for. 对於任何一个想把Tek踢出去的人必须注意到：你们所期待的是啥？ When the Red Sox trailed the Cleveland Indians 3-1 in the American League Championship Series last fall, Varitek was one of the guys who set a relentless one-game-at-a-time tone in the clubhouse. 当去年美联冠军战中肥袜以3-1落後笑脸人时候，队长是其中一个在休息室大喊 "不到最後一刻不放弃的人" Had you walked into the Boston clubhouse before Game 5, you might have thought the Red Sox were preparing for a June game with the Mariners. That's because they play the game one way -- and Varitek is partly responsible for that. 如果你在第五场比赛开始之前走进球员休息室里面，大概会以为他们正在准备 六月份对上水兵的比赛。那全然是因为他们完全享受比赛，而Tek则对比赛的 结果负起全然责任。 There's no debating his offensive season. It has been terrible. Varitek's .218 batting average is 46 points below his career average. He's hitting just .184 on the road and .192 with runners in scoring position. He has put together back-to-back tough months -- a .122 average in June, a .188 average in July. 没必要为他这球季的惨况做任何辩解。该在他脸上写个惨字。他的打击率0.218 比他生涯平均还要低46个百分点。垒上有人打击率只有0.184而且得分位置上有 人打及率更只有0.192。而且他连续两个月有着惨烈成绩，六月份0.122而七月份 则是0.188。 And yet at this point in his career, considering the makeup of this club, offense isn't his primary responsibility. 好拉，看完他的数据，来想想身为一个球团的门面，或许攻击就不是那麽需要被 考虑了。 （注：Are you sure that......How about Lugo?） Even with Varitek not hitting, the Red Sox are second in the American League in runs, first in on-base percentage and third in home runs. 即便是目前袜子没有Tek的打击，他们的得分还是美联第二名，上垒率第一名且 全垒打数第三名。 (科科，咱们只有用七个打者) With J.D. Drew having a career year, with Dustin Pedroia becoming an impact player and with David Ortiz due back from the disabled list next weekend, Boston's concerns are mostly with middle relief and the back of the rotation. 今年是J.D.的生涯年，且小派也越来越具有攻击性，再加上大肚老爹下星期就可以 离开DL，大家对於他的关切可以稍微减轻一点且回到先发轮值之中。 As for Varitek, it might be impossible for an outsider to understand his impact in the clubhouse. 对於Tek来说，旁观者想要了解他在球员休息室里面的影响是不太可能的。 He keeps charts on every Red Sox pitcher and studies scouting reports and video before each game. He picks the brains of scouts, coaches and anyone he thinks can help with that day's game. 他一直不断的在每一场比赛开始前和每一个投手做沟通且不断的研究对手的各种 数据。他经由脑袋挑选了所有对他以及比赛有帮助的人。 "Whether I'm hitting or not, I can influence other parts of the game," he said. "不论我能否打击，我在场上还是有其他的影响力在的"Tek说。 But what about the offensive struggles? He continues his workaholic ways, hoping to find a way out. 那....可怕的打击怎办？他持续的每天作可怕的训练量，希望找出方法解决。 What Varitek mainly does is set a tone for everyone else. When his peers voted him onto the American League All-Star team, he was asked over and over if he felt bad about going when he's hitting so little. 对於所有人来说，Tek到底代表了什麽？当他在美联明星赛被同伴们票选出场时候， 他一次又一次的被问到是否会因为他打击状况差到不行而对进入明星赛感到怪怪的。 "No," he said. "That's a pretty good honor, to be sent by the players." "不会"，他说道"被这些球员票选进入明星赛是个很高的荣耀" Sometimes Francona seems to know the questions are coming before they're asked. 有些时候粉科南似乎也成了大仙，在大家问他问题之前他就知道人家要问啥。 "That is from the players around the league," he said. "That's how they feel about him." "那是从所有联盟球员身上知道的"他接着说"那就是大家对他的看法" As Pedroia told the Boston Globe, "He's all about us. He'll sacrifice himself for the team every time." 就如同小派告诉波士顿全球报的一样"他心里面满满的都是我们。他为了球队牺牲了 他自己的所有时间" Richard Justice is a columnist for the Houston Chronicle and a regular contributor to Sporting News. -- 推 adam323:只要赢红袜的球队我都挺啦 09/28 23:49 推 adam323:你哪只眼看到我在帮洋基加油O.O? 09/24 04:37 推 adam323:拜托你找出来( ￣ c￣)y▂ξ 09/24 04:38 NYY #13H-svpg adam323：洋基连胜总冠军！！ --
