solomon的無限空間

當然，2011年的球季還沒打完，不過前半球季已經有許多好玩、令人印象深刻的棒球語句供人欣賞。

每當一場比賽結束，回頭去看賽後報導時，除了球員表現之外、場上不管是球員、教練、裁判、或是記者所說的話，有時我會去收集起來。這些棒球語句，有的長有的短，當下看就會讓人會心一笑，而擺上一陣後再拿出來看，也常常回味無窮。
下面幾句是今年前半季讓我印象比較深刻的Quote，提供給大家欣賞。

"It'll be good offensively, but damn, I've gotta play second, first and right. That's a lot of ground to cover, man. I've got small legs.”
------Boston的二壘手Dustin Pedroia，在聽到下一場比賽，球隊將把原來的DH David Ortiz擺上一壘、而原來的一壘手Adrian Gonzalez擺到右外野守備之後的反應。
------(這當然是玩笑話，不過也算小小自我諷刺？為了準備季後賽，而把Ortiz擺上一壘守備，在這個情況下，球隊的右半區守備窘境，可能連隊上的球員也受不了)

"I had two people roll their windows down driving in today, telling me how excited they were about this kid being here and the way that we’ve played. Normally I drive down the street and nobody says a word. So, to have it happen twice in one day, was a little odd.”
------在球隊宣佈將把小聯盟裡的新秀Eric Hosmer升上大聯盟後，Kansas City的經理Ned Yost，在路上開車遇到球迷熱情興奮的反應。
------(由此看來、Hosmer真是球隊救星啊！)

"When I hit it, I thought it had a chance. Then you look up and go, 'Oh, here's this park.'"
------一棒擊出、手感極佳，Houston的外野手Jason Michaels以為他有支全壘打入賬，不過當他回神過來，才想起他是在PNC這個廣闊的球場。最後這球當然被接殺。
------(來到大球場，打者最好拿出120%的力氣來揮棒。)

"I don't think I deserve to be an All-Star."
------Albert Pujols在知道他未被選入今年明星隊後的反應。
------(11年生涯，僅第二度未入選明星隊，Pujols反應冷靜，希望他之後可以加速反彈腳步。)

“I left some balls up and they hit them. And the odd time I made a pitch, they hit that, too. So I don’t think there are too many things I did very well.”
------五月的某場比賽，當Kansas City的投手Jeff Francis在被打爆之後，如是說。
------(今年他的表現還沒進入狀況，下半季會改善嗎？)

“The first thing I told the umpire is it's a shame that he can't have an ERA, because those runs are his.”
------在一個主審的誤判造成失分之後，Toronto的投手Jon Rauch忍不住跟主審咆嘯，這些失分應該記在主審頭上。
------(當然Rauch的下場就是被趕出場)


“I've never shied away from the fact that the only real goal I have is to be a Hall of Famer when I'm done, if that happens, most of the other things, the individual things, those will take care of themselves. I just go out there and pitch. But as competitive as I am, you hear someone say no one will ever win 300 games again, that makes me want to go out and do it.”
------Detroit的王牌投手Justin Verlander，雄心壯志的說出他的生涯目標，進名人堂與拿300勝！
------(大投手的氣魄！勇猛的Verlander，有你的！)

“I'm glad it went out because I was halfway to the field with my hands up. It would have been kind of embarrassing if it hadn't gone out.”
------隊友一棒敲出、球還在半空中，Kansas City的Alex Gordon就以為這是支再見全壘打而雙手高舉衝出休息室，還好這球有飛出去，不然就糗大了。
------(旁邊看球的比球的還激動啊！)
