Luke Scott: Fenway Park a 'dump'
http://tinyurl.com/c56jbcp
Tampa Bay Rays designated hitter Luke Scott told MLB.com he thinks Fenway is
"a dump" as the Boston Red Sox prepare to kick off their 100th season in the
ballpark.
就在红袜队的主场粉味公园进入第100个球季时,光芒队的DH Luke Scott对这
座球场开砲了。
"As a baseball player, going there to work, it's a dump," said Scott, whose
Rays play the Red Sox on Friday in their Fenway opener. "I mean, it's old. It
does have a great feel and nostalgia, but at the end of the day, I'd rather
be at a good facility where I can get my work in. A place where I can go hit
in the cage, where I have space and it's a little more comfortable to come to
work."
“身为棒球员,去那打球,就像个垃圾场。”Scott说:“我的意思是说,它太老旧了。
这里的确有很多美好的过往回忆,但归根究柢,我还是比较喜欢到有好设备的地方打球
,到一个有室内打击练习场、一个来打球可以打得更舒服的地方。”
"You're packed in like sardines there. It's hard to get your work in. ... You
have to go to their weight room if you want to lift. From a fan's
perspective, it's probably pretty cool to go see a game at a historic park.
But from a player's point of view, it's not a place where you want to go to
work."
“在那边挤得像沙丁鱼似的,要做个重训还得过去红袜那边的重训室才行。就球迷看来
,来历史悠久的球场看球是很爽啦,但就球员看来,这地方可一点儿也不想来。”
For Scott, who was a member of the Orioles when Baltimore beat Boston on the
last day of last season to help prevent the Red Sox from making the playoffs,
it's the second time in as many months he's taken a shot at the Sox. During
spring training, he said keeping Boston out of the playoffs was even more
pleasing because of his disdain for its fans.
这是Scott近日来第二次对红袜开砲,先前春训时就曾因不屑红袜迷而表示去年金莺在
季末干掉红袜真是超爽的。
"Just their arrogance," Scott told MLB.com at the time. "The fans come in and
they take over the city. They're ruthless, they're vulgar, they cause
trouble, they talk about your family, swear at you. Who likes that? When
people do that, it just gives you more incentive to beat them.
“只因他们的狂妄。”Scott在当时说:“那些球迷占据了城市,他们没礼貌、粗俗、
制造麻烦、问候你的家人还会咒骂你。谁喜欢这样啊?当他们这么做,只会给你更有动
力来打败他们而已”
"Then when things like [the last game of last season, a 4-3 walk-off Orioles
victory] happen, you celebrate even more. You go to St. Louis
