Terry Francona poked fun at himself while trying to explain the surge of the
Cleveland Indians this season.
"We stayed away from chicken and beer," he cracked. "That helped."
The joke referred to his final days with the Boston Red Sox in 2011.
"I'm not surprised. I'm pleased," Francona said of Cleveland's late surge to
make the playoffs. "That's the way we have to play, and like I said all year,
I'm OK with that because it's baseball and it just goes to show you that when
you play the game right, the sum of all our parts can be a pretty good team
and that's not such a bad way to come to work."

"因為我們沒碰炸雞跟啤酒，這很有幫助"
