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.
就在紅襪隊的主場粉味公園進入第100個球季時,光芒隊的DH Luke Scott對這
座球場開砲了。
"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."
「身為棒球員,去那打球,就像個垃圾場。」Scott說:「我的意思是說,它太老舊了。
這裡的確有很多美好的過往回憶,但歸根究柢,我還是比較喜歡到有好設備的地方打球
,到一個有室內打擊練習場、一個來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."
「在那邊擠得像沙丁魚似的,要做個重訓還得過去紅襪那邊的重訓室才行。就球迷看來
,來歷史悠久的球場看球是很爽啦,但就球員看來,這地方可一點兒也不想來。」
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.
這是Scott近日來第二次對紅襪開砲,先前春訓時就曾因不屑紅襪迷而表示去年金鶯在
季末幹掉紅襪真是超爽的。
"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.
「只因他們的狂妄。」Scott在當時說:「那些球迷佔據了城市,他們沒禮貌、粗俗、
製造麻煩、問候你的家人還會咒罵你。誰喜歡這樣啊?當他們這麼做,只會給你更有動
力來打敗他們而已」
"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
