Angels fans make it rain on Carl Crawford
Five months after the Los Angeles Angels showed Carl Crawford(notes) the
money, Halos fans did the same as he stood in the on-deck circle at Angels
Stadium on Thursday night.
Only this time their offer was more than $100 million less.
5个月前天使队亮了一笔钱给Crawford看,礼拜四天使主场的夜晚,Crawford站在打击准备
区时天使迷也干了一样的事,不过这次比1亿镁少了点。
Apparently still upset with Crawford's 11th-hour decision to reject the bid
of Angels owner Arte Moreno and sign with the Boston Red Sox for seven years
and $142 million, a few unidentified Angels fans showed their displeasure
through a few wadded-up bills. With Crawford at the plate in the top of the
11th inning, Angels television cameras showed several $1 bills lying in the
dirt near Boston's on-deck circle in the Red Sox's 4-2 extra-innings victory
over the first-place Angels. It isn't known whether Crawford saw the cash,
but he did strike out to end the inning.
一小群未知身分的猴子迷丢了几张揉成一团的现金藉以表达他们愤怒。
很明显的是,他们依然不爽Crawford拒绝天使老板出的价,
反跟红袜签下7年1.42亿的合约。
11局上半Crawford上打击区时,镜头照到几张一块钞票掉在红袜打击准备区的红土上,
我们不知道Crawford是否看到这几张钞票,不过他那局是以三振收场。
Never underestimate the bitterness of the rejected — especially when the
jilted one goes out and makes the rash decision of shacking up with Vernon
Wells(notes), his .179 average and the $86 million that's remaining on his
contract. (To be fair: Wells has heated up recently after a poor start to the
season.)
永远不要低估收好人卡球队的怨念-
尤其是收卡者开始寻欢作乐,结果猴急的跑去跟Vernon Wells开房间。
Wells兄0.179的打击率和8千6百万的薪水同时显示在他的合约上。
(不过公平的说法是:Wells开季打的爆烂,现在有回温的现象。)
From the Boston Herald:
"Everybody had him coming here," (Torii) Hunter sighed last night before the
Angels hosted the Red Sox. "I had him coming here."
Though Crawford had the last laugh with a Boston victory, he did go 0 for 3
with two walks and a sacrifice bunt that he called himself in the sixth. Yes,
a sacrifice bunt with the infielders playing in, runners on first and second
with no outs and for a team that would sooner dress itself in blue pinstripes
than waste an out with a bunt.
摘自波士顿环球报
Hunter无奈的表示:每个人都希望他来到这,我也希望。
虽然红袜赢球,Crawford终于笑的出来了,不过他3打数0安打,2个四坏,以及一个六局时
他自己搞的牺牲短打。
是的,他居然在一二垒有跑者无人出局的时候短打,
我宁愿全队都穿上洋基的蓝色条纹衣也不愿短打浪费一个出局数。
Considering that Crawford's average currently rests at .143, maybe Angels
fans should currently be glad they're only into him for half a gallon of gas?
天使迷如果有考量到Crawford的打击率睡在0.143
应该会很高兴他们不过丢了半加仑的汽油钱

注:1.美国油价一加仑目前3.X~4.X镁之间
2.洋基主场目前都是海军蓝条纹制服(navy blue pinstripe)
