明星賽：
Ortiz, Pedroia, Buchholz selected to All-Star team;
Uehara on ballot for final spot

Red Sox reliever Koji Uehara was selected as one of five candidates for the
final spot on the roster. The winner will be determined by on-line fan voting.

“It was weird last year,” Ortiz said on Saturday. “It’ll be good to have
some more Red Sox around.”

老爹：「去年只有我參加感覺好怪　還好今年有更多襪襪球員陪我」

Ortiz was the overwhelming winner to start at DH with 6.2 million votes.

Ortiz and Bobby Doerr are tied for the third-most All-Star selections in Red
Sox history. Only Carl Yastrzemski (18 times) and Ted Williams (17) have more.

“When the fans pick you, it’s because they want to see you play,” Ortiz
said. “It’s great to be going again.”

老爹：「粉絲選你是想看你上場，再次入選感覺很棒」

“There are a lot of great second basemen in the American League, so it’s
pretty special,” Pedroia said. “The game means something, so we have to go
win.”

小派：「美聯優秀二壘手很多　所以我感覺很特別　比賽有其意義　我們必須贏」

“It’s an honor to be a part of it and be around the guys who are the best
in the league,”Buchy said. “I’m excited about. I just wish I was healthy and
could pitch..

巴扣子：「我很興奮　希望到時候我身體健康可以投球」

“If I get actually chosen, [I'll] probably explode with excitement,” Uehara
said through interpreter C.J. Matsumoto. “I didn’t think I was in a
position to be chosen this year for the All-Star team. I don’t know what to
feel.''

上原：「如果我被選上　我會興奮到爆炸！之前都沒想到有機會參加明星賽。」

In previous years, Japanese players have done well in the final vote with the
backing of their homeland. Former Red Sox pitcher Hideki Okajima made the
team via that route in 2007.

Uehara joked that fans in Japan might not support him.

“I’m not sure if that will the case for me,” he said.

上原用英文說：日本球迷不一定挺我　我不是很紅

Why not?

“I’m not popular,” Uehara said in English before laughing.

Ortiz said he wanted Uehara to be in the game if only to see what would
happen if he high-fives the entire dugout.

"He might get into a fight because he might slap somebody in the face," Ortiz
said.

老爹希望上原在明星賽出場　想看他跟整個休息區的人擊掌會發生什麼事

老爹：「上原擊掌時可能會掌摑某人的臉　然後跟人家打起來」
