His knee may be giving him problems, but he gave the play we're talking about the courtesy jog until he figured out too late the ball was playable. If he had gone the first 50 feet the way he did the last 15 he would have had that thing in his back pocket and he wouldn't have had to worry about hitting the dirt.
An average run would have done just fine. It wasnt a web gem type of play that needed to be made. 95% of right fielders could have made it. I guess it falls back to the say if you play to advoid injuries your more likely to get injured.

Re: 9/3 gamecrap
Motte said it was Molina who told him to appeal to first. Those Puerto Rican guys all look alike anyway.
Yeah. It's just like all them politicians they're trotting out at both conventions. How come they go to other states to get elected? Couldn't they just stay and be mayor of Puerto Rico (errr)?
I don't know if it's like this in other parts of the country, but anyone around here who looks remotely Hispanic is referred to by a certain demographic as "Puerto Rican" (pronounced locally as "Pautareekin") no matter what their actual ancestry is.
Which is a segue into one of the more unintentionally funny moments ever, when I heard over a police scanner an officer once ask if the house translator was fluent in "Brazilian."
Which in turn reminds me of the following joke from a few years ago:
President Bush is sitting in the Oval Office one day when an aide rushes in.
AIDE: Mr. President, I have some bad news. Two Brazilians died today on American soil.
Before the aide can finish his report, the president begins pounding on his desk and sobbing.
PRESIDENT: NO!NO!NO!NO!
AIDE: *looking confused* Uh, Mr. President? Why are you carrying on like this?
PRESIDENT: Because, um…. remind me again how much a Brazilian is?
