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個月前天使隊亮了一筆錢給Crawford看，禮拜四天使主場的夜晚，Crawford站在打擊準備
區時天使迷也幹了一樣的事，不過這次比1億鎂少了點。
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丟了幾張揉成一團的現金藉以表達他們憤怒。
很明顯的是，他們依然不爽Crawford拒絕天使老闆出的價，
反跟紅襪簽下7年1.42億的合約。
11局上半Crawford上打擊區時，鏡頭照到幾張一塊鈔票掉在紅襪打擊準備區的紅土上，
我們不知道Crawford是否看到這幾張鈔票，不過他那局是以三振收場。
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.)
永遠不要低估收好人卡球隊的怨念-
尤其是收卡者開始尋歡作樂，結果猴急的跑去跟Vernon Wells開房間。
Wells兄0.179的打擊率和8千6百萬的薪水同時顯示在他的合約上。
（不過公平的說法是：Wells開季打的爆爛，現在有回溫的現象。）
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.
摘自波士頓環球報
Hunter無奈的表示:每個人都希望他來到這，我也希望。
雖然紅襪贏球，Crawford終於笑的出來了，不過他3打數0安打，2個四壞，以及一個六局時
他自己搞的犧牲短打。
是的，他居然在一二壘有跑者無人出局的時候短打，
我寧願全隊都穿上洋基的藍色條紋衣也不願短打浪費一個出局數。
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的打擊率睡在0.143
應該會很高興他們不過丟了半加崙的汽油錢

註:1.美國油價一加崙目前3.X~4.X鎂之間
2.洋基主場目前都是海軍藍條紋制服(navy blue pinstripe)
