Today's Forecast in Hell: Snow Showers

The San Francisco Giants' hard-hitting but notoriously slow-footed catcher Bengie Molina hit a triple in last night's 9-4 defeat of the hated L.A. Dodgers. A hit like that by almost any other player in the Major Leagues would have been an inside-the-park home run. I like how in the clip color commentator Mike Krukow says "I just lost a bet!" I can't see or hear the games up here in Oregon, but I assume that Kruk had made a bet against Bengie hitting a triple this year.

Thanks to [livejournal.com profile] gridlore for tipping me off about this.

His brother Yadi actually STOLE A BASE earlier this month. We're still wondering how the heck that happened.

BTW you'll be amused to know that, courtesy of my daughter and her straight-A semester, my first visit to New Busch Stadium will be in early July against the Giants. I'm hoping against hope to see Lincecum pitch.

There's definitely something odd - Mike Lowell, who is still recovering from hip surgery, also had a triple the other day...

I love that the commentator was so honest. I also wish that I could get the Ironbirds to do a wig like that, so I can make a picture of me in something like that my Baseball avatar.
