Yankees and Giants chat it up

洋基與巨人正在討論交易的可能性

It remains to be seen whether a match can be made. But we can confirm that the Giants and Yankees are talking and Hideki Matsui was mentioned.
讓我們持續觀察是否會有交易達成。可以確定的是，洋基和巨人正在談論有關松井秀喜的交易案。

It makes sense in some ways. He would be a popular draw for the city’s vast Japanese population, no small factor with Barry Bonds off the roster. Matsui also would become San Francisco’s best power threat.
從某些方面來看，這是有可能的。他將會成為舊金山廣大日本球迷注意的焦點，這與棒子爺離開巨人打線有著不小的關係。松井也將會成為巨人隊陣容最有威脅性的打擊者。

This was a team that scored 683 runs last season with Bonds.
去年棒子爺在隊中時，巨人隊整季僅得了683分。

Lowry was 14-8, 3.92. But he had 87 strikeouts and 87 walks in 156 innings while allowing 155 hits. Maybe the Yankees are looking at some of their relievers. Maybe Rich Aurilia to play first base? Matsui for Lowry and Aurilia? Lowry and Kevin Correia?
Lowry去年戰績14勝8敗，防禦率3.92。但是在去年156局的投球當中，他送出了87次三振、87次保送以及被打出了155支的安打。也許洋基會挑選他們的中繼投手群。或者讓Rich Aurilia來防守一壘？用松井來換Lowry和Aurilia？或是Lowry與Kevin Correia？

Like we said at the top, it remains to be seen whether there’s a match. But I believe blogs were invented to speculate about baseball trades.
就像我們一開始說的，讓我們持續關注這個交易吧。我相信部落格就是被發明用來推測可能發生的棒球交易的。

Heard from the Dodgers that Joe Torre has knee replacement surgery yesterday. It must have been all those trips to bring Scott Proctor into the game.
從道奇球團那裡聽說Joe Torre昨天動了換膝手術。一定是因為常常要換Scott Proctor進場的關係。（意思是指，去年洋基的先發投手群表現很不穩定，常常要燒牛棚，所以常常要把天天P換上場，導致Joe Torre必須一直走上投手丘 XD 這個亞伯拉胖還是不改他酸人的個性）

Seriously, if you watched any game last season you probably noticed how badly Joe was limping. There were a few days when he could barely move. So good luck to him getting back up and around.
說真的，如果上個球季你有看比賽的話，你可能發現到Joe走起路來跛的很嚴重。大多數的時間他都必須要走來走去。所以祝福他能夠早日康復重新回到場上吧！
