(AP photos) 王建民和北極可能拿到美聯賽揚獎投票的一二名 Just when you thought the Yankees and the Red Sox had exhausted all possible manifestation of their intense rivalry ... here come the ballots for the American League Cy Young Award. Both AL East kingpins have suited up their fair share of pitchers on the receiving end of their art's highest award, with Pedro Martinez (1999 and 2000) and Roger Clemens (2001) keeping the honor in the I-95 corridor. 正當你想著洋基和紅襪已經吵爛了各種激烈敵對的話題....現在又扯到了美聯賽揚獎的 投票了。 兩大美聯東區主要強隊準備好要把他們的投手對上來對抗，準備接受投手的最高榮譽， 就像Pedro Martinez 和Roger Clemens在95號州際公路上保持的榮耀一樣。 (註：I-95公路通過波士頓和紐約) But Yankees and Red Sox pitchers have never contested the same Cy Young Award, never finishing in the top two in the vote since the award's inception in 1956. 但是洋基和紅襪的投手沒有同時競逐同個賽揚獎過(國外也視為事情大條)， 自從1956年賽揚獎開始以來，從來也沒有在獎項開始投票中最後分占第一二名。 Well, there is always a first time. Boston's Josh Beckett and New York's Chien-Ming Wang are the respective leaders of their postseason-bound staffs, and both will receive ample support among the voting members of the Baseball Writers Association of America. They are hardly running a match race, but their season-long excellence on the road to 20 wins will be hard to ignore. 不過，凡事總有第一次。波士頓的貝吉特和紐約的王建民現在是兩隊角逐季後賽的主要 投手，而且在美國棒球記者協會中都將可以得到大量的票數。他們很難互相競爭，但是 他們這整個賽季邁向二十勝的超水準表現實在很難讓人忽視。 Their most serious competition will come from another undisputed staff ace, C.C. Sabathia, the big chief of the Cleveland Indians. Right-handers John Lackey and Kelvim Escobar, virtually peers in the Angels rotation, figure to cancel each other out in the voting booth. 他們最大的競爭對手其實是毫無疑問的王牌C.C.，笑臉人的頭目。還有天使輪值中的 右投來去以及艾斯可巴，都想把對手從投票台上踢出去。 As for relievers, they are simply not invited to this party. The last closer to earn the award, even as saves totals keep skyrocketing, was Dennis Eckersley, back in 1992. The highest-ranking closer in the vote last year -- even after a season without a 20-game winner -- was Francisco Rodriguez, whose 47 saves were worth five ballot points out of a possible 140. 後援投手比較沒機會參加這場盛會，最後一個終結者拿到要真的很猛，就像丹尼斯 1992年雖然沒有20勝但跟鬼一樣的表現。 F-Rod，四十七次救援成功也差不多在140票中拿到五票。 Maybe it is time that closers had their own comparable award. The potential inspiration for that is still among us -- San Diego's Trevor Hoffman, who with 519 saves has already surpassed the 511 wins by the pitcher whose name is on the Cy Young Award. 可能終結者不受重視，跟當年教士隊的霍夫曼就算救援成功多過跟賽揚獎名字那個人的 勝投，最後卻是選"賽揚"獎有關。 FAVORITES 比較可能的名單 Wang, Yankees: If Cy Young balloting were like some cell phone plans, Wang would be a shoo-in thanks to rollover votes. He didn't receive a single first-place vote last year, even though he matched winner Johan Santana's 19-6 record. So now he is producing a carbon copy, with no one even close to his two-year record of 37-12 (Santana is 34-17, Justin Verlander 33-14, Roy Halladay 30-12). But what makes Wang truly stand out is his responsibility for the Yankees' contention, through his remarkable consistency. He has not made it to at least the sixth inning only twice in 27 starts. 如果賽揚投票像是用手機簡訊投票那種的話，王可能是選票全拿，十拿九穩。他沒有 拿下去年第一名的選票，即使他面對的是約翰神他拿的成績，但是他兩年拿到37-12 的成績，高過一票怪物，但是最突出的還不是這個，而是他對洋基貢獻的投球內容， 透過他驚人的堅硬...強悍，他在過去27場先發之中竟然只有兩場少於六局啊!!!! Beckett, Red Sox: Despite a fresh face (Daisuke Matsuzaka) and a cured arm (Curt Schilling), the cognoscenti tabbed Beckett as the key man on Boston's staff -- and he has delivered splendidly, also delivering on his potential. For the fourth consecutive season, Beckett has raised his victory total and has become a smart pitcher, not just a hothead thrower. Leading evidence of that is having more than halved both his walks (74 to 36) and homer yields (36 to 14). But he doesn't stand out on his staff as Wang does on his; not even close. 北極很強。儘管紅襪有"新面孔"大輔，還有"治療手臂"席林姐，那些專家還是把北極 當作波士頓的關鍵人物....他投得實在很華麗，也展現他的天賦...。過去四個球季 他提升勝場總數，成為一個漂亮的投手，而不只是個急躁的丟球人(...某人?) 他保送和被全壘打都大概是人家的一半多一點。但是這不代表他跟王做的一樣。 有一段差距....(這表示....) Sabathia, Indians: Finishing strong to give Cleveland its first 20-game winner since Gaylord Perry (1974) could sway the voting in the big left-hander's behalf. He is certainly worthy, with an amazing strikeouts-to-walks ratio (185-to-33) for a tall lefty -- historically the mold for wildness. Has already posted career highs in innings and strikeouts while matching his single-season high of 17 wins. Eight of his wins have followed Tribe losses. 塞巴...笑臉人球隊 自從1974年的Gaylord Perry以來第一個20勝投手 可能他超強的左投猛成這樣可以橫掃選票。他真的有這個身價，他跟鬼一樣的三振BB比 185-33，左投最高.....已經是史上的奇葩。他投球局數和三振已經達到生涯新高 ，當他已經來到生涯新高17勝。他在他的部落戰敗的時候拿了八勝啊..... DARK HORSES 黑馬 Lackey, Angels: A rocky four-start stretch beginning in mid-August probably ejected the right-hander from possibly even the favorite's seat. He surrendered 26 hits and 13 runs in 17 2/3 innings around his clutch Aug. 27 shutout in Seattle. But remember that word "clutch," as well as "workhorse"; he has gone seven-plus innings in 13 of his last 23 starts. And his 8-1 record against the other AL West teams is a big reason for the Angels pulling away from the division. 來去在八月中搖搖晃晃的四場成績可能讓他被踢出右投手中可能的獲獎名單... (講了他那段時間的痛)但是記得兩個詞"抓"(囧，clutch緊緊抓住)，還有"刻苦耐勞"， 他在後來的二十三場比賽有十三場七局以上先發，他8勝一敗的成績讓天使擺脫分區的 其他隊伍。 Escobar, Angels: Many consider the one-time reliever and swing starter the Angels' best money pitcher, who has really flourished once given a permanent place in the rotation. And he could very well end up leading the league in ERA -- on the 30th anniversary of the last time an Angels hurler did so, Frank Tanana in 1977. But he and Lackey are essentially the same pitcher, with virtually identical numbers. 很多人認為是天使最佳划算投手的一時之選(我不知道怎麼翻比較好orz) 已經贏得他在輪值中永久的地位。還有他是聯盟的ERA之王....也很有競爭力， 算是法蘭克塔娜娜後三十年來ERA最猛的天使隊投手。但是他跟來去本質上 算同樣的投手。 -- ███████ ███████ 抹 █▅█▅█▅█ ███████ 菜 耶有fans做美工~ ▋ ≧ ≦ █ █ ˙ ˙ █ █ ▽ █ cosplay █ ︶　 █ 瓜 布 ▋████▋█ → ███████ ██▅█▅██ 後 ███████ 布 ψyuuforever --
