about Chien-Ming Wang:WP, 1st complete game this season

上禮拜每天烈日灼身,週日下午開始下起雨來,且鋒面徘徊,雨下個不停。連續陰雨天讓氣溫略降,用不著開冷氣,晚上比較好睡。

於是……今早睡太晚,沒看到前兩局。從三局上洋基連續得分開始看起,想著接下來阿民一定能穩定好投。【真巧,洋基官網文章的副標就是:Four-run third eases right-hander's complete-game effort

果不其然,三局下阿民回到投手丘,表現超讚,而且投得越來越精簡,最後竟然投了整整九局,只丟一分。不但拿下優質先發+勝投,還是完投勝!
唉,忍不住想起上回那場七局多的完全比賽,實在是扼腕阿~~咦,洋基官網文章撰稿記者居然也以此開場,害總教頭 Torre 也跟我一樣扼腕。

Chien-Ming Wang's best game of the season was probably last month in Seattle, when he lost a perfect game in the eighth after retiring the first 22 hitters.
"That game was pretty good," Yankees manager Joe Torre said, shaking his head. "Why do you have to remind me about those things?"

這兩天晚上還看了日本職棒 live轉播,為阪神虎隊效力的台灣選手林威助屢有安打表現,開心開心。期望在道奇隊的郭泓志再度上場也有好投。

Wang Shows Effectiveness Good Pitching Can Have
by TYLER KEPNER

Wang (5-4) walked one, struck out four and gave up no extra-base hits, throwing 104 pitches, fewer than he did in his previous start, when he beat Boston despite lasting just five and two-thirds innings.

It was the first complete-game victory for the Yankees in 119 games, since Wang tossed a shutout against Tampa Bay last July 28. The Yankees scored in only two innings, but with Wang in control, the outcome never seemed to be in doubt.
