I was actually at that game on Friday (front row, natch
) and I have to say that it was a little bit of gift scoring/luck that he got the double and the triple. Both should have been caught (especially the 2b, as JD usually is a sure handed fielder) but you could argue that both catches would have been pretty good, but not extraordinary. Anyway the grand slam was hit well and it was good fun seeing him lumber for the triple since he's such a fat ass. I actually had the chance to ask CJ Wilson after the game whether Bengie's brother was slower and he said that they were pretty sure that the Texas "Flying Molina" is actually the slowest. He said their discussions with his teammates on what it would take for him to get the triple bordered on the absurd. As a Sox fan it was a tough loss, but at least it was sort of historic, which kind of made up for the final score and the rain delay. Plus, hey, it was the 599th consecutive sellout!
