[ 戀上阿淑 ]

與阿淑的結識是緣自於一次週末的買便當事件，當時阿淑伴著我輕鬆且沒壓力的前往“悟X池上飯包”完成了艱巨的覓食任務，那時我們便已認定彼此，說起來“悟X”也可算是我們的半個媒人吧！

第一次見到阿淑是在岳母家門前停車位的最角落，孤單的她乏人問津，全身上下沒有一樣名牌配件，散發著濃濃的“俗”味，但閱車無數的我卻在阿淑身上察覺到一股淡淡的哀愁，於是在好“騎”心的驅使下和阿淑有了更深入的接觸。

透過小舅子口述得知，阿淑來自於不知名的鐵馬工廠，年紀不小了，原為岳父大人的首席愛駒，有過幾年輝煌燦爛的歲月，曾幾何時“Pinky”的出現讓一切都變了；更優越的性能，更舒適的騎乘感，更年輕美麗的外表，讓岳父大人很快的移情別戀，「不怪岳父大人，成龍說過：這只是一個男人都會犯的錯」阿淑低頭無奈的說著，就這樣，認命的阿淑墮入冷宮，彷彿只能痴痴地等著被當成廢鐵賣掉那天的到來。

於是，抱著「舉手之勞做環保，青山綠水永得保」的精神，情感豐沛的我化小愛為大愛，毫不吝嗇地給了阿淑滿滿的愛與關懷，我們之間的感情也隨著一次次親密關係的發生，更上一層，7-ELEVEN、悟X池上飯包、50嵐、銀行ATM，無處不留下我們歡愉的痕跡，而在每一次任務圓滿的同時，也更讓我深刻地體會到阿淑的好，阿淑的好是無條件、無保留、不求回報的全心付出，如果命中注定有一天阿淑必須離開，我會大聲向上天抗議，抗議上天對阿淑的不公平，如果一部好車的下場是如此不堪，那我亦將一輩子視騎車為畏途，無怨無悔。

阿淑說過：「喜歡看著我到達目的地後，小心翼翼把她鎖好的樣子」，她說：「因為這樣表示我很在乎她」，心頭忽然湧現一絲甜味，我想這就是戀愛的感覺！

[ Does Anyone Still Doubt That Wang Is an Ace? ]

還有人懷疑阿民不是王牌嗎?
By Tyler Kepner

New York Times 專欄作家 Tyler Kepner 在阿民2安完投勝紅襪後寫了這篇文章.
(給它翻了一下)


Since Chien-Ming Wang lost twice in the division series last season, there's been a curious notion floating around among fans that he is not an ace. After Friday’s two-hitter in a 4-1 victory over the Red Sox, are there any doubters left?

自從王建民在去年首輪季後賽中吞下兩敗後, 球迷間就一直存在著王建民是否算得上王牌的爭論, 然而在週五2安打完投勝紅襪後, 還有人懷疑嗎?

When you mention pitchers like Johan Santana, Roy Halladay, Jake Peavy, Josh Beckett and C.C. Sabathia, you really ought to mention Wang. He is in their class.

當提到像 Johan Santana、Roy Halladay、Josh Beckett 和 C.C. Sabathia 這樣的投手時, 你不應該漏掉王建民, 他和他們同一個等級.

"If you think about it, why wouldn’t you?" Derek Jeter said. "He won almost 20 the last couple of years. People want to judge him on strikeouts. The bottom line is he gets people out."

Derek Jeter說: "如果你想過這個問題, 你不該忽略他?", "他過去兩年幾乎都拿了20勝, 人們認為他三振能力差. 但他總是能讓對手出局."

Since the start of the 2006 season, Wang is 41-13 with a 3.54 earned run average. No pitcher has as many victories. He has demonstrated a desire to diversify his repertory, to throw more sliders and four-seamers, and maybe a few changeups (though he threw none Friday).

從2006年球季起, 王建民交出了41勝13敗, 防禦率3.54 的成績, 沒有任何投手能拿下這麼多勝投, 他展現了使球路多樣化的企圖, 投更多的滑球和四縫線直球, 也投了少量的變速球 (儘管在週五比賽中並沒投變速球).

This is something Wang can do. Sal Fasano, who caught him in the minors, used to rave about how readily Wang mastered new pitches. Remember, Wang did not even throw a sinker when the Yankees signed him in 2000, and now his sinker is one of the best in baseball.

這就是王建民的能耐. 在小聯盟和王建民搭配過的捕手 Sal Fasano, 曾大力讚揚王建民能毫無困難的練就新球種, 別忘了, 2000年洋基簽下他時, 王建民甚至還不會投伸卡球, 而現在, 他是全聯盟最佳伸卡球投手之一.

"I feel very good when he goes out there, because you know he’s not going to beat himself," Manager Joe Girardi said. "He’s going to give guys an opportunity to make plays behind him, he’s going to locate, and he’s going to be down in the zone. He doesn’t walk people and he doesn’t usually have high pitch counts. You feel very comfortable."

總教練 Joe Girardi 說: "每當他上場時, 我感到相當放心, 因為你知道他不會被輕易打敗," "他讓隊友的守備來完成出局數, 他控球精準, 壓低球路, 他不保送對手, 而且他用球數一直很精簡, 看他投球讓人覺得舒服."

That is how teams are supposed to feel when a true ace starter takes the mound.

這就是真正的王牌在投手丘上時, 他的隊友會有的感受.

阿民是不是王牌?
相信台灣人如我一般從未懷疑, 就算洋基能買到山塔那也不會改變!

[ 史上最"糟"龐德? ]

他充滿魅力而且機智勇敢, 他殺起人來鐵面無情...... 他就是007, 詹姆斯.龐德 (James Bond)

但在我心中, 這一切在 2006年11月17日(首部曲-皇家夜總會首映日)便已劃下休止符, 再不復存; 丹尼爾·克雷格, 林悲恨你! 最近, Star Movies 開始熱力放送 007首部曲-皇家夜總會, 又再度勾起我這不堪的記憶(肥仔聰說過: 記憶乃痛苦的根源), 是機緣來的? 讓我有機會再來數落一下"丹尼爾·克雷格"這名不符實的龐德....

"優雅"乃小弟認為龐德之所以為龐德最重要特質, 不論泡妞, 打鬥, 談判, 總是散發迷人氣質, 狡譎的笑容, 充滿機智且冷靜從不慌張, 有種"老子用腳頭夫讓你"的絕對自信, 前5任龐德無一不是, 而克雷格兄, 唉.. 毛髮稀疏(眉毛尤其), 目光呆滯(儘管是藍的)不說, 在劇中老是被搞到狼狽不堪滿臉是傷(不知道自己是靠臉吃飯的嗎?), 還被對手敲南佛(叫前5任龐德情何以堪, 你老兄演的可是首部曲啊, 不會一開始"牲禮"就被搞壞吧!), 而在浴室吸吮女主角手指那一幕更讓人覺得低級到不行髒的可以, 至於較為人推崇的精壯體格林悲認為反倒對比出其四肢發達, 腦容量卻大大不足之印象, 畢竟是集美貌智慧於一身的詹姆斯.龐德而非賣肉的藍波、洛基之流.

另一個大問題, 無非在身高上了, 前5任龐德, 史恩·康納萊: 6呎1又1/2吋, 喬治·拉贊貝: 6呎2, 羅傑·摩爾: 6呎1, 提摩西·達頓: 6呎2, 皮爾斯·布洛斯南: 6呎1, 連原著小說中的龐德也有6呎(183cm), 偏偏克雷格兄來了個未滿6呎的178cm, 搞什麼嘛? 女主角看起來都不比它矮, 慘到極點.

有國外媒體說: 丹尼爾·克雷格"空有身材, 缺乏靈魂", 短短幾個字點破了一切; 總之丹尼爾·克雷格實在無法給林悲有任何龐德聯想, 3集拍完快滾吧!


史上最"糟"龐德? 不! 它不配成為龐德!!


連宣傳海報看起來還是一副逞兇鬥狠的反派樣

[ 賀 阿民開幕勝 ]

Yanks prevail in final Cathedral opener
Wang solid as farewell tour begins with victory over Jays


NEW YORK -- Eighty-five years after Babe Ruth christened Yankee Stadium with a home run, the Yankees kick-started the ballpark's glorious sendoff season with the creation of a new set of memories, posting a tight 3-2 victory over the Blue Jays.
With red, white and blue bunting dangling from all decks of the facility once lauded as a towering, triple-tiered wonder of the sporting world, Melky Cabrera homered and made two outstanding catches to earn a curtain call -- the Yankees' first in a season that promises to be rife with celebratory ovations.

In the sixth, facing Blue Jays starter Roy Halladay, Cabrera connected with a high, arcing shot toward the right-field corner, well ahead of Alex Rios' leap and destined to hammer off the concrete walkway to tie the game. Cabrera's right arm shot out toward the outfield wall as he raced around the bases, and he was later summoned out of the dugout to again acknowledge the crowd.

Cabrera had a long way to run in the third inning, dashing into the gap in right-center field to flag down Lyle Overbay's deep drive before thudding against the wall with a leap. One batter later, Cabrera was racing toward left-center field, stumbling ever so slightly before grabbing Aaron Hill's low liner, completing his acrobatics with a flourishing head-first skid across the wet outfield turf.

The Yankees took the lead in the seventh off Halladay when, with the bases loaded, Aaron Hill couldn't find a quick handle on Hideki Matsui's hot ground ball to second base. Hill flipped the ball to shortstop David Eckstein's bare hand to record a putout, but Alex Rodriguez crossed the plate with the go-ahead run on the fielder's choice.

Splintering bats often with his expanding repertoire, sinker-balling starter Chien-Ming Wang limited Toronto to two runs and six hits over seven innings -- a Marco Scutaro run-scoring fielder's choice in the second and Shannon Stewart's RBI groundout -- before yielding to phenom Joba Chamberlain for the eighth inning. Chamberlain allowed the tying run to get as close as second base before he recorded two strikeouts to end the frame, pumping his fist and screaming as 55,112 did the same.

30 years after the Yankees' memorable 1978 World Championship, the club's most prolific player of that era buzzed a strike across home plate to begin the sendoff -- and who better than Reggie Jackson, a man whose homer on Opening Day '78 prompted fans to shower the playing field with chocolate bars bearing his name.

There was sweetness for Rodriguez as well. In his first at-bat since signing a landmark contract that will keep him in New York for the next decade, the reigning American League MVP picked up right where he left off in 2007 by ripping a two-out double up the gap in right-center field, scoring Bobby Abreu.


The game was originally scheduled to be played as an Opening Day, and there had never been a game played in the building's confines during the month of March; Mother Nature's heavy rains on Monday saw that tradition, so prominent in the facility's history, would be upheld. The Yankees and Blue Jays played instead under the lights on Tuesday, an opening act to remember upon baseball's grandest stage.

Yankee Stadium originally opened on April 18, 1923, as Ruth clubbed a home run to defeat the rival Red Sox, 4-1, earning the facility the nickname 'The House that Ruth Built.' The stadium underwent dramatic reconstruction after the 1973 season and reopened on April 15, 1976, as the current facility, with the Yankees defeating the Twins, 11-4.

Since its opening, the Yankees have won 29 of their 39 season openers at Yankee Stadium, including 11 straight home openers since the 1998 campaign.
